Yes, Fastenal! I was just trying to find my payment to them! Thanks for 
the information.

It wouldn't hurt to ask them if they do it again, you never can tell.

Someone else mentioned Grayhound earlier. I haven't checked lately but 
when I wanted to ship the transmission, they were much higher than 
Fastenal but might be a good option now.

Peace, Pat
