Just got 5 1/2 ton American Premium coal delivery Service Coal looks good nice and clean no fines we live 1 1/2 away from the mine it was 305.00 a ton And Mark owner and driver was very helpful It was good experience.
Great! Does the $305 per ton include delivery charges and/or any taxes?

Prounounce "skookill" for those who try to sound it out. And the local iced tea, GUERS, is pronounced 'gears'. What we lose in edukation we make up for in coal.

Not sure this country is going to recover from all the idiots in office now You watch this winter and Russia shuts off the gas to Europe then it’s going to hit the fan
I thought that was caused by the idiot in Moscow.

Anxiety level is going down now ,i have 3.5 of the 4 to 4.5 ton needed to get thru this coming winter. I hope to get the last ton or so this month now that my bin is finally finished. The way things are going globally its probably not too early to start thinking about next year.Its a shame its come to that with incompetent Govts everywhere not just our own. Cant even keep the lights on anymore.

And also for the idiots relying on a killer, dictator for their energy needs. What could possibly go wrong?
