Hello Ed. I could easily walk to Bradley airport if I needed to. I have a line on some coal "other" than Blaschak over by the Munson area. Little more of a drive than I want to take, but if their's is better than what I got in the past. I might give them a try.

I just looked at the 'predicted' December temps for down here, and we're looking at 200 extra degree days of heating over last year if they are right. Heading into the 20's during the days and low teens at night for the next few days, so we'll see.

I may be buyin a few more tons before this winter is over, already worked through 1 ton in a month and two weeks. :shock:

Get it while you can......it won't rot, get eaten by the mice.......the winter is taking a big bite this week. Anthracite: It's whats for winter. Hang a couple "Super Sacks" on the mantel...that will give them a hint about what your agenda is. :gee: :yes: :up:

We got down to 16° last night .... forecast all the way to Saturday shows than number steadily declining. Should be single digits, or close to 0 Saturday morning. :(

Burrrr... we were at 22* this morning. We hardly ever get that low. On top of the super cold, we are expecting more snow and freezing perception on Saturday. At this rate, I'll be making another trip to MD for more coal. Bummer, not the extra coal but that I have to go to MD to get it. Stay warm, Lisa

CMS, originally in Munson Mass was my 1st and only supply for my 1st couple of years. They sold to some other folks who moved it to Three Rivers I think, behind a VFW hall, bought my last Ton from them about 2yrs ago.
Got some from Mainline in Ashford ( about the same drive for me...maybe abit less than Munson). From Then on, I just order from BT Enterprises out of Bristol Ct. whose delivered prices are very good especially when you go big like 6 pallets of Blashak at a time.
