The road agent approved HD delivering pellets on my posted load limit road, so yesterday's delivery was a go. I took a PTO day (although I did attend an 8am meeting), so I could transfer the pellets from my driveway to the garage. Started out with a text that they would deliver sometime between 6am and 8pm. Jeeze people, could you narrow it down to am or pm? So I waited, and waited, then I got a call at 11:40 that he would be here in about 20 minutes. At exactly 12:00 noon I took this picture.
I told the driver just place them in the driveway and I would be transferring them one-by-one. He did me a solid by managing to push 3 pallets entirely into the garage and a 4th pallet half in and half out. He did try to push that load further in, but it wouldn't go. No biggie - he literally saved me tons of work. I had to make sure all were off the driveway as rain then snow are scheduled for today. At 12:25, all the pellets were on the ground. By 12:50, I had the first 1.5 tons loaded onto 1 pallet in the garage. Yeah, I had to use that two-step ladder for the top 3 rows.
As an aside, I am back to not getting the option to manipulate the pictures, so click on them and they will turn to the correct orientation.
I took a short break, then by 1:30, I had the other 1.5 tons moved.
Early that morning I had seen an ad on FBM for 12 bags of Cubix (a really good pellet) for $50. I arranged to pick those up at 5pm. While I was there, they threw in 2 bags of TSCs (which are the middling pellets I usually use) for a total of 14 bags.
After stacking the Cubix in the basement (on a dedicated skid for really good pellets), I decided to move a fourth ton to the side of the garage so I could stage the snow blower for today's storm (pic taken at 6:45 pm).
All in all, I moved 4.8 tons because I transferred 6 broken bags into the basement, and moved other GS back out to the garage (to keep the garage level at an even 6 tons)
I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow, but this morning I am still good.
Update 3/13/22: Went back into the post to see if the option to turn pictures would appear, and it did. So I've turned the pictures for easier viewing.
Whooee. Great going, Bogie! I'll have to turn the photos that I send to your Dad. He has a crick in his back and wouldn't like to flop his head to look at the photos upright ; )

Actually, it was simple turning the photos after I copied and pasted them into the email. I just had to grab the little turn knob on each photo after clicking on it. At first, I had thought that the last photo was already upright. Duh!
That two-step ladder would be the death of me - not being very stable in my old age.
