I saw gas for $2.97/gal today but my favorite station was up to $3.29. I don’t know how there can be such a difference between the stations.
And the fun part is every owner will say they only make a couple of cents a gallon. Read an article a long time ago, probably 10 years ago that said gas stations in relatively high traffic areas like any small city make upwards of $80K a month on all the crap around the register... Just that, no soda or beer or chips, just the 27 year old Ham Sandwiches and candy and stuff like that.I saw gas for $2.97/gal today but my favorite station was up to $3.29.

Luckily, I never go inside. I guess, “Pay at the pump” was not good for their profits!And the fun part is every owner will say they only make a couple of cents a gallon.

We were in Corona del Mar about a month ago and gas was high $5 to low $6 range and closer to $7 near the airport.Yes, tourist gas prices. It averages $5.15 a gallon here
The post about not being able to charge it?If you get a chance, peek at my post about my riding lawnmower.
I won't be able to work on it until like Thursday.
Thanks
No Sir, it's about a disconnected hoseThe post about not being able to charge it?
Are you going to provide a link? Nothing turns up other than the one where you couldn't charge it.No Sir, it's about a disconnected hose
I might as well just start playing Hockey and get Dental insurance so I can just cover all my self inflicted injuries with puck created injuries!Spicoli, OUCH. Sounds like something I would do. I've found the most bizarre ways to injure myself. I have a couple of broken teeth that I need to get fixed eventually.

You mite try this, which I previously offered to Spicoli43, too clean your pans;I spritz I of our cats with olive oil & after crisping some lintels & broccoli, use him as a scrubber to clean the pan and simultaneously coat the pan, with olive oil, for its next use, and it keeps him busy cleaning the bits from his fur.I don't know much about riding mowers. We used to take ours to get fixed by some dude with the surname Fatula. Rude jerk. Would not actually fix stuff and then charge as if he did. We stopped going to him after we took in our riding mower, he claimed he fixed it, took our money and we tried to turn it on right there at the shop and it didn't turn on. Told him we wanted it fixed. He said he wanted $. We said we wanted our $ back since it wasn't fixed. He denied having taken our cash 5min before. He also claimed he hadn't had a chance to work on it yet even though he was the one who said he fixed it and told us to come get it. Dude thought that bc he was in a wheelchair he could rip people off. It's probably the only reason he didn't get beat up.
Microwave died today. Can't remember if I mentioned that. I was trying to heat up frozen fried rice to no avail. Finally pan fried it instead. But with no running water I can't clean the pan.
Went to HD to grab some stuff I forgot to get, took pics of inside the well shed to get an idea of where to put the subpanel and how to run the wiring.
Went to Samsclub to pick up a new microwave. Helped an elderly couple that were trying to load a box with a large mop bucket inside into their cart. Two of them were lifting it but I saw their cart kept moving. So I went over and held the cart still for them. They said they wanted to get two and acted surprised when I picked up the 2nd one without any problems and set it in their cart. It was actually lightweight but was bulky. New microwave was heavy AND bulky.

It's not as big as our original microwave in this house- a Montgomery Ward 3.0cu ft convection microwave oven. It was ugly as hell but it was great. Had fake wood paneling on it.
Got the microwave home and put dust screen over all of the outside holes to keep roaches out.
As an aside, I'm really enjoying my new haircut. Wish I'd cut it this short before. I never want to let it get long again. Shortest I've had it since I was a toddler and it feels great. Last night I didn't have to worry about my hair catching on anything, didn't snag my skin tags, didn't wrap around my neck, didn't get pulled when I adjusted my pillow. Cats didn't pull on it. Sitting on the couch, the dog didn't step on it on the back of the couch. It doesn't hang down in my way or get caught on things. I don't have to put it up out of the way and have it fall back down bc its thin and doesn't stay up.
Picked up Chinese food to bring home. Broccoli & chicken, mei fun noodles (for my brother), more chicken sticks, etc.
