If they don't have them tomorrow, I'll stop at SW. Know any body that wants 3/4 of a bland seedless watermelon that's been sitting in my fridge for 3 days?

big seeded watermelons are infrequent and much more $$ than they used to be.
Most that I see are seedless, in the "refrigerator" size category. Not that I can't find a way to get the 3-footer in there long enough to get it cold. 
I like mine seeded, and I actually eat the seeds instead of spit them.  |
