Request for transportation assistance

[randysmith]

So my current mattress is ten years old, and the platform bed on which I sleep is older yet. I have an upgrade in process, but the transportation requirements are a *little* bit more than I can easily handle. Can anyone help me with the loan of either of the following?
* A vehicle that can comfortably fit something that's 83 inches long (39"x4" are the other dimensions, but it's not the only thing I'd be carrying, just the most awkward). The back area of my station wagon goes to 60"; I could probably stick it in and leave the hatch open with sufficient cleverness with ropes, but "the right tool for the job" (i.e. a bigger vehicle) would probably be better.
* A roof rack (the folks I'm buying the bed from advertise that they can tie things solidly to the top of the car, and I'm happy to go with that, but my car's old enough that I'd rather have a *little* more structure :-}).

Assistance with the transportation itself would also be welcome, but I'm less worried about that (because I can probably draft psongster).

Bribes of backrubs, ice cream, or helping you with your own transportation difficulties can all be arranged :-}.

Well, Thursdays and Fridays you'd have me until I need to be in Medford at 4, so either of those days work?

And yeah, mumble grumble about the loss of both my board games and my RPG night because of the job. I'll be posting at some point why it was worth it, but it still hurts to have done so. But for board games, I'm intending on getting a few games myself and inviting people over on random weekends to soothe my social starvation :)

Sure, either one in general. And, in fact, the place just called to say that my mattress has come in, so we can do it this week if you'd like. Ideal for me would be Friday late morning/early afternoon; would that work for you? Where/how should we meet up?

Yes, please! *eager look* :-} :-}
