Anybody know how to transport something this big?

Scenario: I need this tall cactus transported about 60 miles. I'll probably take the Golden Barrels, too, but the big mofo is going to be a problem.



Ideas?

 

Ryder, U-Haul?

 

The truck for sure, or maybe a trailer. The thing's got to be 20 feet tall, and I don't know if it's got a taproot or shallow spread-out roots. Probably both.

Getting it out of the ground is going to be interesting. The cactus is very dense, and I'm sure it weighs in at several hundred pounds. The trick is going to be getting it into a horizontal position once it's uprooted, and keeping it vertical while digging out the roots as well. The spines on that cactus are more forgiving than the ones on the golden barrels, but they're the smaller kind that tend to break off once they're lodged in your skin.

I might have to go stea....err, "borrow" a couple of those lumber carts from the lumber yard.

 

If you pay dan 20.00 he will put it in his anus and smuggle it to you.

Of course he's not used to things that small and it might fall out.

He likes to put the golden barrels in his mouth.

 

:biggrin:

 

Thats funny, casue it's exactly what I thought too.

 

Damn... I never thought of asking Dan! That simplifies everything! :biggrin:

 

Dan I know you're out there reading this thread. Admit it that was damn funny.

Why don't you find me some peyote cactus Lomo. I want one of those in the backyard. Assuming you are a cactus aficionado.

 

I've been looking for years.

 

I know a hippy seed place that sells them, Ill hook you up, but you owe me a few buttons

 

That would be a hell of a get together. Everyone from fugly eating peyote....we could do it on one of Barry's Yachts.

 

I am down to only a little dinghy right now. We would have to party under the oak tree on my vacant lot, since it's about all I own these days. It's next door to Major's house, so at least we could have access to indoor plumbing. Dwaine can't come though since Daphne has a leash law.

 

Do people name their kids, 'Daphne'? I have never met one.

 

I think daphne is the county in alabama, named after the 3rd cousin of William T. Sherman.

 

Again, wear the bathing suit.



Daphne is the town, Baldwin is the county. The town is actually named after the cute redhead from Scooby-Doo.

 

You guys ever invite SMG down to your annual town bazaar? That would make daphne a pretty cool town.

 

Only Daphne I can think of is Daphne Duck.

 

Damn! Beat me to it!

 

Dynamite?

 

I'd only consider that if I'm forced to leave it with the property. Only then would I adopt the "If I can't have it, nobody can!" mindset...
