Met up with the transport guy yesterday. Took some effort to get to him, apparently he’s afraid that the DRC would have problems with his actions so he prefers to stay unknown. I don’t know for sure if they would, but I understand his decision. We talked about the kind of things that he can deliver, prices, etc. He gets the solar-panel stuff from a company called Modern Outpost. Seems pretty reliable, but they’re expensive… Add to that the compensation for his efforts. It’s going to take a pretty large bite out of my savings, but I think it will be worth it. I sure wish now that I had a lighter laptop though, power-consumption-wise.

Apparently he’s going to Link the stuff over. Normally it would take two weeks to get the stuff down here, so that’s good. Still, he says the process can take anywhere between 3 days and a week. Guess I’ll be hanging around in Tom’s hood some more until then.
