Going out front now to move the last 1/3rd of the 2.4 tons (2 pallets) of coal I had delivered on Monday. (this is for next winter & brings me up to almost 5 tons on the ground) I put 6 bags on my cart at a time........Good exercise!! ;)

If you gym is across the street it is worth it, otherwise you would be better off dumping the $1.50 or so in gas everry day in a jar and paying the septic dude and you would still have a pile of change left over Dick!

I bought 2 pallets. Moved them with my diesel skid steer. My wrists got a workout running the controls so I had a few bagels and beer to replenish.

I wonder why Blaschak pallets are 60 forty lb bags instead of 50 for a nice even ton? (they must have their reasons but it beats the Hell out of me??) :confused: :devil:

Just put 1.25 ton of Blaschak in second story of wood shop. Orginally thought it was a good place to store it, having second thoughts now. I threw the bags from the truck onto the floor of the second story. Wife (115 lbs) moved the coal as I was throwing it in by carrying it twenty feet and then stacked it. She had it all done except for four bags by the time I walked through the shop and up the stairs. I think I'll keep her. It was such a good workout we decided to take the day off from running. Wife had no complaints of soreness or complaints in general (cool).
