A Hydraulic Jack In Canada Needs A Ride To Vizcaino


No, not a giant floor type with wheels, a small brand new clean one in a brand new clean plastic case. About the size of a boom box. Not available at any cost anywhere in Mexico.

Would meet at one of the two gas stations in Vizcaino. Have cellular. Could also meet in Guerrero Negro. This doesn't need to occur right away, but like a little boy awaiting a toy fire truck under the Christmas Tree....

:-)

Would arrive at a specified address in Canada, 100% pre-paid

WWaV,

Way simpler than using nineteen words to describe what essentially is a hydraulic "jack".

If you can have it shipped overnight to san diego, I can have it brought down to la bocana and we can then get it to asuncion.




Come visit La Bocana

Jeez Bob, If I could -afford- that puppy, I wouldn't need it. But thanks for the suggestion. The Hand Jack which originates in Canada, has not reached British Columbia yet. It would have to pass through U.S. Customs if shipped direct, so I guess mañana is out of the Question BajaBlanca. But un abrazo for your thoughts.

But I have no pressing need at the moment for that hand squeezer. I'll just have to bide my time until someone from Canada, is willing to drop it off to me in G.N. or VzC.
