Now that's a "WOW!".

This Summer i'm at 21 - 22 pounds per day. I think that's my worst ever.

Looking Forward to it!

I’ll be firing the big ole 260 up mid September, I am waiting to get another TT load of coal this month, then I have some things to finish up in the boiler room before I retire it.
