Wouldn't want a poor postal person's job. All the political mess and have to kiss up to customers. Not sure about the weight thing but several time they said boxes were delivered but didn't show up for days. Have one box out now that should have been here Monday, said it was delivered and a no show again.. Yep that working for a big corporation or a big governments sounds easy, lot of lazy people do it cause it sounds easy but glad I never put myself in the position to do that. You didn't either Jim,,, good for us. Side note When you drain your big shipping bag of grit.. Fill bags or buckets with it to make it easier to handle later?? Drains slowly into a bag. Too bad I wasn't closer could get you used ale malt sacks Plastic over plastic. No moisture in malted barley. Have a local brewery close ??
My good friend is a route carrier. He has a good time but he is good at it and treats his customers well. They give him all kinds of goodies tips etc. But he works hard. No concern getting SiC wet. It just a ceramic. Totally inert. Shovel out a 5 gallon bucket from the pile and tote it to the tumblers. No problem. Sometimes I scoop it out of a 5 gallon bucket and it is covered in water. It rarely gets mosquitos in it though. Must be some kind of chemical in it. Or the mosquito larvae are not wanting to get tumbled ha. Or its sharp to them like diatomaceous earth. Why would it smell? What gas is being generated slowly? Byproduct somehow?

Guessing the wash the screened abrasive. They may even screen it wet.
