[sudo-discuss] Help needed to retrieve lab equipment for CCL

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

Looks like I'll need to pick up the U-Haul truck at 9:30 tomorrow. So if
someone needs a ride, please meet me there rather than at the Omni.

9:30 am at 640 W MacArthur Blvd. Probably can't take more than one or maybe
two passengers in the cab of the truck.

Thanks!

Patrik
