What is it??
« on: May 16, 2010, 09:47:33 AM »
We may have discussed this item before, just can't remember. What the heck is it??  The wording on it reads, "FILL WITH 26LBS OF STONE"..  
 The price tag reads $899, and no it did not come home with me.

I think you've nailed it JR, I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. :-?
