    Wow, maybe because they're made here they are cheaper.

    I cannot remember what I paid but it was A LOT more than $168/ton. Is that a 50 bag pallet or a 60 bag pallet?

    I've used Heartlands before. Purchased from my dealer. Nice clean hot pellet. The best pellet I've ever seen at a box store around here was Eurekas. Otherwise its usually lower end stuff at the boxes here...

    Well they are 40# bags, so I would say 50 bag pallets?

    Heartlands and Eureka's, Mmmm mmmm! Me likey lots!

    Love to see them Eureka's and Heartlands make out this way again. Wally world had Eureka's and were the best box pellet except when HD had Blazers(Agway had Heartlands from time to time). Wally world doesn't bother much with pellets these days and when they do its Penningtons Natures crap!

    Well, when you have as many things on a system as I have on this one, one expects to get walloped from time to time.

    It was a software vender supplied important update to the EFI boot shim. Oops, left me with a screen full of one word and a space upon the next boot up. After a few choice words I got out the install dvd and did a repair run. Just a bit of time and and blue air and here I am again.

    Man am I glad this puppy has the horses, makes things go along a lot faster.

    He has one of those adjusted and smeared thermometers it calls its counterparts in Bermuda, Palm Beach, and Scott Amundsen Base in Antartica and which ever has the highest temperature gets displayed by all.

    Well ya all made me feel like I was :loco: :crazy:, So I asked a fella that lives up the hill from me. He said he had 22*F @ 5:00AM and I'm usually a tick warmer than he is. The wife saw 31*F in her truck about an hour or so later.

    So my device couldn't be that far off from what I saw. :p

    The last week has been crazy here. While being under the weather, the water softener, and water heater decide they are going to give me problems. I think I have the water heater squared away minus a whistle sound when the elements kick in which I think is just thermal expansion, but now the washing machine decided to give up the ghost and it is on it last legs. So I have a water softener torn apart, and I am still trying to find the problem, and It is time to order a new washer and dryer very soon, which stinks because the dryer works fine. It is a long story, but basically I have limited space, and the new sizes of washers and dryers are making this a nightmare. When it rains it pours:headbang:

    Do you have a stacker washer dryer? I agree on the colossal size of the new ones these days. Though being able to throw a comforter in the dryer is nice....
