I'm planning on renting a Ryder truck with lift gate on the back of it.
That should solve any issues with getting the VAXen up into the truck, but
I'm not sure how easy it'll be to get the VAXen from their location to the
truck yet :-)  And yes Gunther, I can drop yours off in Indy.

I should be fine for dropping off mine in Bloomington.  I've got enough
friends down here to help me unload it into my garage.

This should be interesting.  I'm going to have to take the digital camera
along.
