Wes "I'm Baaaaack" Yates said… - Great to have you. I also travel close to Winder on my way down to Atlanta. Job takes me there frequently, so you're right down the road per se. FREE BOXES!!! Nice deal. Yeah, they are cheap. Went to Tampa last week and they wanted $10 for one. No way, Jose. I've gotten them from $0 - $5 depending.
Keep us posted.
