The man that talked me in 6s now goes back to 4s...what's that all about?? J/K RJ!
Nice little load there Robert. Obviously your place had a better forklift for loading the pallet than HD did when I picked up my blocks. I had to pull the tailgate and have them set the pallet in the bed, then push it forward with the fork to get it over the rear axle. Made for a nice cushy Cadillac ride.
Oh yeah, the sand is a PITA to get out. When you wash, it just splatters on the sides and sticks. Been there, done that...

Worn-out is just the kind I need! 
Hate to cut the end off a good one...
Would it be easier for her if I got it here in TX?
She might be driving by anyway if RJ's is on the way.
I did email you again about the pump - a few days after HRP - 'cause Keith & Co didn't seem to know much about them re part numbers & such (which I gave him from you).
Had to go another route; customer didn't want to wait anymore, since the tank was out - putting the whole low-pressure system on hold.

I know I mentioned to many of you, 6 months ago, that crude oil would be back down to $60.00 a barrel by the end of the yr.
LOVE it when I'm right...cause it happens so seldom.
Paid $2.469 for Diesel yesterday in OK.

This spring, told lots of folks - even posted on DTR - that the oil bubble would burst this summer, and we'd see $1.XX fuel again... and promised to throw a party when it did.

I'm still waiting for diesel to drop below $3.00 around the corner. Saw a couple of stations at $2.99 this weekend.
Who knows, by the time I'm ready to drop my tank and replace the fuel sender, I may be able to fill my tank up for less than $75.
