I concur. They delivered the K7 when I was out of town. The old guy felt sorry
for SWMBO. Backed the truck up to the garage. Got it on a dolly, then down with
the lift gate. Somehow they managed to get it thru the garage and across the
yard to the patio. I told her to slip him $25 and a Styrofoam cooler of Cokes.
