Happy Labor Day everyone....enjoy the extra day if you get it!

I was going to try to get the first of 3 loads of coal for the winter but some family stuff interrupted my plans. Oh well....I have until December before I'll run out but it looks like I missed the summer pricing Stoker Don mentioned.

Talking about summer pricing....we topped off the propain tank last week for .90 / gallon on a tank owned summer special. It was only Facebook advertised which my wife pays attention to...i guess that F-Book is good for something. I think that is the cheapest we ever paid. Last delivery was Fall of '17, it gets used for hot water, dryer, cooktop and furnace in shoulder months. Took just about 2 years to use 350 gal.

Thanks for the reminder titleist, I did run down to Reese's and picked up 1 1/2 ton and just got back. He did tell me to try and get it earlier because supply looks to be low this year. If I can get another 2 yet this fall I'll be set for the year. I'll get a ton or so of some Bit in October hopefully and things will really be good.

Have a pleasant weekend all.

working on staging for moving bigger items. Monday got an AA friend to help. He will bring a few friends to move furniture's that i physically can't move. His pick-up truck and trailer. Yet there are a lot of smalls that i need to sort thru, trash/donate/ or just throw away. ENJOY! semi-retired working 45 hours this week at P/T job! Moving so it all will help with setting up/paying for apartment rental/moving costs. Hitzer 50-93 still available! $400 isn't a lot for a great stove!

Good afternoon. Just finished bringing my son's ATV back to life. Carb was gummed up, and the bowl was held on with headless screws! That's right...no head on the screws. Had to drill them out. Thankfully the idle jet was easy to clean and two screws from a junction box were a perfect fit.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Thanks for the coffee HB, are you going South for damage control or staying local? By the way I was over your way on Thursday at the hospital for a meeting with my wife's group & a talk from a Dr. DeBlasio which was ultra interesting. Hope all stay safe & productive, speaking of which I still have to get my coal!

Canadian coffee HB, eh?

I woke up in New Jersey today and had to grab a coffee on the way, I couldn't even stop to drop a deuce for fear HB would kick the door to the stall in. I told the boss how the best part about going to Jersey is the trip home, he said good here you can go again and enjoy the trip home one more time. The upshot is I get to go home tomorrow and have labor day off.

Funny seeing Fred talk about old man winter when he's old enough to be his grandfather. Don't worry though Fred, there's nothing wrong with getting old because it beats the alternative.

Hey wilder, you know what they say? A friend is someone who helps you move, a good friend is someone who helps you move a body.

Have a great holiday weekend.

Mornin'
Hope everyone is having a good Labor Day week-end. The weather, eh.......little bit of everything.
HB, thanks for getting the coffee perking. Guys, where did 'August' go ? A couple more weeks, and Summer is done for this year. Have a good week, all.
Cheers
