That's even bigger than a Chicago softball!
Yes, it is. x2 It's what I deserve for not calling. No, you don't deserve it. They have that box there specifically for that purpose. Make sure you call and let them know that whoever filled that order didn't read the special instructions box. Heck, maybe they'll send you the right size rocks for free.

6.5 lbs Your 10” saw can cut that just cut into it And hit it below the cut with a sledgehammer It will brake that is how I brake 9” stone down to fit the 18” saw

So my grandson turns 6 in a couple of weeks- this is what I ordered for him and it just came today. I'm still a kid, so I'll probably have as much fun as he will.

Garage Rocker - Perhaps the person who filled the order isn't a sports buff...maybe they confused softball with football (or rugby)! LOL - I agree with Walt. Carefully make two very minute surgical incisions around the one-third and two-thirds mark...then WHACK it with a big hammer! Then it's like three rocks for the price of one! miket - You've got to remember the gift is for "him"...and not you! LOL Heck, you should've got two...you know you really want one also - you've got time! RickB - One of the greatest movies of all time...and my wife has still never watched it! LOL

I never liked that 10" harbor freight...no, let me rephrase that...I hate the 10" saw. I loaned it to someone to do their bathroom tile and never asked for it back. Less clutter in the garage

miket Awesome present. I am sure you, I mean he, will love it. amygdule I remember moving from AZ back to WI. I insisted that all of the rocks/pet wood/jewelry supplies be packed in the Bronco II with me. Not in the back of the truck my Husband was driving. I was pulling the trailer, too. The back seat area of the Bronc was stuffed with lapidary things. Garage Rocker Hope your purchase works out. Please keep us updated.

Spent some time yesterday before work roaming through the local Greenhouse/market. Will return today to reserve my selections. These are only a few that I want.

Took these before we opened on Thursday. This used to be the brewery. Tap room. We had taken down or moved everything possible prior to the last day. The pallets of beer were almost all empty by the end of the night. The wall colors are a tribute to our flagship beers. Rusty Red, Hop Dinger, Night (T)Rain. Another wall is painted orange for The Big O. The TV was a must to stay, as there was a lot of interest in the NFL Draft. The weather was beautiful. We had lots of outdoor seating. It was a long day. I was told to leave at around 11:15 PM. Principal owners took over for me.

Down in Pennsylavnia Is where I would Like to Bee My mailman is probably thinking he’d like to be somewhere else right now. Or at least on a different route. I realized I needed more coarse grit for all of these rocks coming in, so yours was far from the heaviest box to arrive yesterday!

One of several hollyhocks I currently have. They are in various locations around the yard, coming up fresh from last year's seed every year. Growth form.

And I'll match your Hollyhocks with some tulips. They don't last long but they sure are pretty...

Beauties, Mike! Here's a pic of the avocado blooms feeding the bees which I mentioned recently. The entire backyard was buzzing. Thank you bees for doing your thang.
