Was told they make them in RB, then they're not making any of them at all, and that was the end of it...so it was a surprise to come across this beast. Rich H. Esse Quam Videri

It has ribbing on the side as well as a CC on the front and neither of those show up on pics of The Block. I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
