    I knew that they had new owners, I forgot that it was EJ Carrier. I see their trucks on the road all the time.

    I don't see a lot of their products on the market in my area, but then again I've been buying most of my pellets at the box stores. Then I hit the Blazer jackpot. SO I don't really shop a lot at the local places that sell pellets where their products might be located.

    That is the exact way my furnace came (but built like that). The exhaust manifold and the sail switch were the first 2 items I replaced, then I upgraded to the new motor and impeller. I now have to run my damper at about 50%-60% closed and I still have a great burn.

    How is your heat exchange rod, if it's not bent into a handle? My memory is slipping (CRS). :)

    You scored Blazers again.....sweet !!!! Can I assume HD? How much?

    Also, what color is the pallet wrapping? I go by the back of a HD on my way home from work and can see what is sitting behind the store. It would be nice to look for a particular color wrapper- please dont be white :confused:

    No, no, no. I didn't score more. I was just saying I buy my pellets at the box stores so I don't go to the places that might be selling Corinth. Sorry about the confusion. I doubt I'll ever see Blazers again, at least at a price I'd be willing to pay. BTW, they were white, but you could see the product inside.

    LOL I kept getting calls from a particukar number (909-353-1561) and they finally left a message. It was someone with a heavy Indian accent saying his name was David from the Treasury Dept and that they had filed legal action against me. Yeah, right. I could here many others in the background from this call center.

    I deleted the message and 30 minutes ago, same number called. I answered and said nothing, Same guy used my name and same story. I chuckled and said I did not believe him. His reply was "you laugh now but if you dont cooperate you will cry tomorrow morning" I laughed again and said if this was true, i would have received notice in the mail. He got angry and said "We mailed you 3 times, why are you not cooperating. If you ignore this the Sheriff would be sent to get me" I replied-Send him on over, at least he will speak English, good bye" :rofl: :lol:

    Whatsa matter you, no speak Engrish :doh:.


    Currently we are getting calls from 614-715-4190 which is known for being a social engineering scam to get your computer logon information to do a little hacking. I normally let the machine take those call, never any message. I answered one of these a year or so ago and had some fun. Told the guy I'd be happy to give him the information but Windows won't boot for some reason and asked if that was related to the fact I didn't have Windows on the machine that he said was virus infested.

    Day off with my daughter!! We went out for breakfast at a local shop, grabbed a few bags of pellets at TSC (Pure Fire), bought some outrageously expensive LED bulbs for my track lighting and going to pick up a pie at a bakery where I grew up (banana cream). Then maybe a little lunch somewhere.

    I never had a Stella until after I seen you post about them. Had to grab a 6 pack the other day :) It's a very clean and crisp beer.

    Think I'm gonna have a Stella after I finish my lunch... Lunch is the blue smoothie. :D
