I flew in a small plane a few weeks ago. Plane gas makes boat gas look cheap!

The average price for AV gas (100LL) in the southwest (CA, NV, UT, CO, AZ, NM) today is $7.15 per gallon. Last week at this time it was $6.99 per gallon.

I have it at $6.10 per gallon at my FBO and there is only 1 other airport within a 50 mile radius that is lower than me at $5.98 per gallon.

$9.99/gal. for race gas for last weekend.  110 octane.  I think I bought 20+ gallons, but thankfully didn't use it all. 🙄

I am sure Gas Price will tumble after this 😁

The only bigger idiots than Newsom are the ones who voted to keep him in office.

Funny, it's about $3.35 here and we are bitching that it's way too high...  😄

[datzenmike]

Lowest was $1.72 a liter here on a recent 800 mike trip. That's $4.86 US a US gallon if my math is correct. $5.38 locally. I was just the driver, I still have 2020 gas in my 710.

Seeing this doesn't make you feel great about using an old Datsun as a daily.

Better than running into the back of that Pinto...

 

 

 

Filler hose detaches, tank becomes a giant metal douche filled with gas.

    I had a bad dream last night.I was dreaming that I was going down

a three lane highway.In front of me was a Pinto,& behind me was an

Audi 5000 accelerating really fast,& on each side of me were a Suzuki Samurai.

Been building myself an office in my unfinished basement.  Mostly out of crap I have laying around. But I found a b210 in the junkyard, so I bought the grill and also the side markers (but those aren't in the office).  I had some IKEA under cabinet lighting laying around so I used that above the desk, under the lip of the grill and inside the scoop on the hood.  Then I hung some other crap around.

 

[datzenmike]

That's a '76 or older B-210 grill.

Went on a trip in my Patrol to check my PO Box. When backing out of parking spot hit the curb and broke steering link, catastrophic failure no steering!!! If you had a head on in a Patrol the steering column would puncture your chest. Did I mention My Patrol is fro sale?

[bananahamuck]

aint no time like the present for dying a death by steering column

520/521 and 620 also have solid columns. It's mounted to the solid frame but nothing to stop you going forward into the steering wheel. Like pole vaulting into the afterlife.

 

 

Anyone speak like a Pirate yesterday? I did.

 

This month is National Rice Month so eat it, but don't drive it.

Just put blocks on the pedals.

Or get wood pegs for feet and talk like a pirate all the time.

[a.d._510_n_ok]

my ex brother in law died Saturday at 64. He and my sister had a contentious divorce about 20 years ago so I distanced myself from him. I've always regretted that. When he married my sister he in 1982 he was building houses and working stupid hours. When the bottom fell out of that in 1984 he moved his family to the Muskogee area (where he was from) and did pretty much fuck all for steady employment until about 1986. He'd work side jobs for utilities and beer money otherwise sister paid the bills with the money she made working the register at Ben Franklin. He'd load me up in his '68 C10 short step (I was mid teens) and we'd haunt salvage yards and explore the back roads all day. Had a fucking blast. In 1987 he got a job at an aggregate company maintaining their drag line. 15+ hours for 20 years. Worked himself to death. Died essentially indigent. Figured out i loved him more and knew him better than his kids did. They resent me for it. I don't give a fuck about that but hate myself for not reaching out to him.
