Coal Coming Today...but Not for Someone
"Who has priority? The guy with the coal & no boiler or the guy with the boiler & no coal? Argfhhhhhh! My brain is melting!"
I'd say the guy who's spent the most money has priority, but with all that coal it could still be a draw

I got coal yesterday. Not nearly as dramatic as Freddy's 48 tons dumped by that big semi. I did however use my automatic coal bin filling system that was 25 years in development. (Part of the system was only 23 years in development.)
My two sons It's an amazing system that runs only on beer.- WNY

Freddy,

I did decide to use a flat rate priority envelope. *only* $4.75 & confirmed delivery. Yaaaaa, I'd be hopping if they said "Someone came in & said they were you, your boiler is gone"Rick 386 wrote:Freddy,
