    Not expecting any type of great performance out of them, but it's always nice to know what alternatives there are, how they perform in your stoves, and what price point you are willing to pay (like some pellets, it literally needs to be $100/ton before I'll bite - and that is saying something)

    Well, there were the Therma Glo's that ran luke warm air out of my P61a and was ashy as all get out. I'll bet I could have gotten better results from dried beans or peas. But, at the same time I got them for a really low price, so couldn't complain. I certainly would not pay $5/bag for those. Most others, yeah, I can deal with at that price.

    Forgot to post this earlier this week...DC "telecom" battery swap out. Batteries were 20 years old and had a bad one in each string. Also added disconnects as the old stings did not have them. We had this in the budget the past 3 years and it finally got approved for 2019. Funny that they "don't" have money when we do budgets but when the DC plant chits the bed (or whatever does) all of a sudden there's funds available.....funny how that works. I'm just posting this for the "nerds" here, you know who you are :D

    Yeah, it only took 15 years to finally get the OK to buy an electric stairclimber for getting 200-500lb machines delivered at customer sites.

    It cost almost 3k las month when it use to be closer to 2K. While we "didnt have the money"we had some damaged machines, a few damaged staircases and many damaged employee backs, shoulders etc.
