Loved it... I read the part where you were in MA in the coffee shop with the wife, to my wife. And I just smiled. Goodness in a relationship comes through at the oddest and yet, most predictable times.
And for those that think spelling, grammar, etc, don't matter...go pound sand.
I've bought several things long distance... trucks, even the last camper, semi's, heavy equipment accessories.... There is a knack, feeling will you, for weeding one's way through CL ads and what not. Don't get hungry and trust your gut.
Thanks for the story
