    I actually have a sheet if paper in my office that says the same thing. When someone walks in with a "crisis" I point to that sheet....then they look back at me with a dirty look. F 'em!!!!

    I have the same sheet of paper in my office as well. For some reason, it never has the impact one wishes it would. It's as if their poor planning really is a crisis for me, no matter what sign I hang up!

    We had a new hire (woman) start a while ago and for the first two weeks she was a complete pain in my azz. The one time she came in my office with a projector setup issue (as she was trying to head a training class) I pointed to my sign and she had ZERO clue I was talking about her! She basically said that it was funny..WTF!!! She's very dense.

    HD has GS for $260/ton. Thinking about buying half a ton or so so I will have exactly two tons ready for next year and will need only to add two tons to the stash over the summer.

    IMHO at 260, I would think you could do better than GS by next year. I would pass on that for now unless you need it for this year.

    Nope don't need them and around here that is the going rate at the boxes. MWP go for $295 right now at the dealers for a little perspective. Problem is I need a half ton to round out my stash (still need two tons for the shed but am hoping TSC does an early buy special) No deals on half tons. I am going to look around a little this Friday. If nothing else pops up I will buy them.

    I don't differentiate anymore. There hasn't been a pellet I have burned that couldn't keep me warm. I have 5 heat settings and never had to go over 3 on the hi/lo thermostat setting. Ash of course is a factor, but I burned a lot of MWP this year without issue, and GS are comparable IMHO. I think best case is I could spend $120 for a half ton versus the $130. Nothing to sweat over. Just looking to have two full tons in the stash before the hunt begins for next year. Or is the hunt already underway.....or does it never stop :vulture:

    I think I'm buying if I see some but I think the ship has sailed here unless a freak shipment comes in.
