I see absolutely nothing about refusing anesthesia while users are clean. Not giving opiates is obvious, but novocaine or other locals seem to be OK as long as he's not high in the dentist's chair.

"If you use meth you can never go to the dentist again" seems a bit unrealistic.

yeah I just meant he's got tooth sensitivity and is not gonna get a prescription. probably need a few thousand bux in root canals and tooth implants etc but maybe a dentist could fix a cavity or two if that's the immediate issue.

if dick is gonna establish residency in nebraska for the purpose of recieving benefits he is gonna need a nebraska id, right?

id say the first things to do for the next couple of days is fix the popup and get his package. and speaking of... didnt greyhound insist it could not be delivered to that bus stop in north platte??

Dude, I need to get the box size. Wanna measure you car so we can get some idea of how big this box is. The box looks like it might be 2.5 feet tall, but the other dimensions, I dunno.

edit: I am slightly worried this box might be too big for fedex.

I think fedex is usually really expensive for big boxes, anyway. what we need is a courier maybe? or freight.

Isn't this all assuming that greyhound will release the box to someone other than 14? I thought they wanted 2 forms of ID, the claim check and a DNA test.

Bike flights uses a merchant account, which reduces costs quite a bit. I think the largest box fedex will ship with 75lbs is like $100.

Per Dave, north platte DGAF. There are some other logistical hurdles like getting the shipping label to them.

edit: I've messaged a touring cyclist in North Platte to see if he can measure box and stick a label on it.

Holy poo poo, this thread exploded.

If you don't mind can you take a pic of the pop-up mechanism at the center that pulls on all 4 cables? I'm not quite getting how it works but I've got some ideas on making something that will work.

E: does the truck have a trailer hitch?

2 x big tins of dried fruit
Some Nutrigrain bars
2 x big 7 gallon water containers
A medium-heavy insulated puffy-style XL jacket
Insulated winter work gloves
2 x pair heavy winter socks
Brand-new Camping toilet
LED head lamp - takes AAAs - he has a bunch
LED Coleman-style camping lamp - takes AAs - I brought him a 48-pack of AAs
If all else fails - a solar-charged LED inflatable camping lamp
Trash bags
Case of toilet paper
Costco bag of microfiber towels
2x spare (empty) propane tanks - I forgot to get these filled in the tire-changing chaos, but he now has 3 total propane tanks including the one that came on the camper.

So while not a complete and infinitely sustainable setup, it's what I could pull together on short notice.

Suddenly to me the thread is basically this:

This has a very detailed breakdown that is a lot more informative. Also, if you go back sometime in the last ten pages someone posted a picture of the mechanism.

The lifting mechanism itself looks like a glorified (hand operated) parking brake to me. Except instead of yanking a handle up to pull a single cable to the block, you turn Dave's crank. Either way, it's pulling 4 cables on a block (instead of 2 like with a parking brake).

Are there any retaining clips to keep it up once up? Like on a car lift?

Alternatively, if the tracks are exposed, is there a way to wedge some wood into each rail to keep them from falling suddenly?

It seems to be a ratchet that keeps it from slipping. Dave mentioned that he figured out how to lower it, although I haven't seen how to do that in the manual yet.
