It was a milestone day for me today. Some of you who have been around for a while might remember that I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009. Yes, five years ago! :eek: I went in for my five year check-up today and they told me to leave - since I am cancer-free there is no need for me to come back!! Nice feeling. :D

Yeah, that is closer to what I was expecting. I thought the price was outrageous.

I am curious. Given THAT big of a spread on price...you couldn't find someone else that gave a better deal? I mean, 10x the price/yard? Really?

Tell you what. I will get some sand and I will mix in a bit of gravel and only charge you $75 a yard. We both win. ;)

I think gas in 320ville has been under $3.00 for a few weeks now.

My wallet loves election years. I really have to start driving vehicles that don't take 91 octane or higher.

I checked a couple places, both were in the same ballpark for price.

I paid about $40/yard, and like $180 for delivery, is how it broke down. The increase in price for the material is probably the difference between the cities and outstate, the delivery fee is not outrageous when you consider distance driven, and fuel costs.

edit: With that said, I won't buy it like this again, just not a good experience. I will buy it at home, get good stuff, at a cheaper price and haul it up to my house myself.

edit2: So, I checked my credit card charges, and they only charged me $200, so it is still expensive, but not as bad as I originally thought. Not sure why the actual charge was less than the quote, the scale receipt from the trucker was definitely the correct weight for 3 yards. I guess I won't complain about it being cheaper. I'm guessing it breaks down to about $150 for trucking, $50 for the materials.

Cool, I hope we can meet. I'm not sure where our seats are, my friend bought the tickets and isn't here yet. I'll be in a maize 'block M' jersey, with a tall red haired guy and a guy that people claim looks like Harry Potter (maybe it's the glasses)
