I shall have to ask my cousin IF he has one in his W-900.  (It may take him a while to figure out that, as Hewey Callaway would say, I am "hoo-raaaing" him.

Hay I know the Hewey your talking about but how many others would know he was the First Champion automobile roper????

To add another aspect to this situation, where are all the people who used to work? My favorite fuel stop in Hastings Nebraska, used to be open 24 hours, now its 5am to 8pm. Probably fine for the normal people, but doesn’t work for us who operate on weird hours. 
Everywhere you go, there’s signs begging for bodies. You don’t need to know anything, just show up when scheduled. 
How are the unemployed paying for fuel?

once we are moved to electrical mandated devices they will then move us to exorbitant prices for kwph so charging a car or home heating and everything else thath requires electricity will be controlled and restricted by THE MAN. Power/Control is the agenda it doesnt matter how they get it done, they just are using GREEN/Climate 

I agree with you on that you won't have any control when the power goes out 

They have all ready mandated electric heat in all new construction by 2025 here in the armpit 

So if the power goes out you will need a big generator but you won't be able to fuel it at some point in time when ban fossil fuel   

Might be a good idea to have a solar set up with storage to fill the gaps in the grid supply

Fuel and groceries and internet and cell phone and bud light limerita or whatever cheerleader juice they drink nowadays.

Wife and I are working steady and there is becoming month at the end of the money.

People not working is a huge problem in this country and it affects us even out here.

Nick, I gots no answer for your question other than we can't  get our nation on the road to recovery until we put people back on the road going to work.

And to bring this more into the conversation, 1906? they hauled gas in cans on a horse drawn wagon in Texas to have in town when a automobile came thru. 

 

Today gas is down about 40 cents from the high in Calyfony even. But who knows about tomorrow. Was sitting on the side as BTO and local fuel wholesaler discussed the situation. Wholesaler was saying price was moving all day. Over night it had gone down 13 cents but by late afternoon it was up 20 cents.

Well with the shut downs, my wife and I had to step back and look.  ( we where both considered essential)
workers where harder to come buy, which made for a pay raise for me. We are booming at work so we are also short handed.   Also kid sitters are hard to come by. 
so we are better off for her to quit work and stay home, And she had a pretty good job.    
 It’s not just the lazy ones that are unemployed

Diesel $5.45 today at the closest station to us.

As for workers there are less seniors in the workforce, less minors (under 18) and less moms with children at home doing cyber school etc.  People have figured out how to live on less.  Then there is the basement generation.  These are the young adults without motivation in their parents basement that work part time at most.  This isn't even diving into the abusers who just don't work.  I don't even want to think about the number of them.

Gd has a decent job,and they insist (cad) she does it from the office. Told here to take a few years off,

With needing a < 5yr vehicle (never done with payments) and the babysitter, Whom is making $60K + with 3 students.

it would be $30K + they dont need to spend.

for the short time they are together,she helicopters the kid (2) whom has NO qualms about exploiting it.

Thank you "???".

Today I bought 1/2 the fuel I did two years ago for the same money. 😂

That IS why those "I DID THIS" stickers that you put on gas pumps exist.

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered 100.

People need to be reminded who done this to us.

Towns around here are fining people caught putting those stickers on as it is “vandalism”

Good grief that's silly. Why should they be fined for that?

They sure haven’t gone down where I have been. 
I was actually in your part of the world today. Unloaded in Gordon this morning. Tonight loading in Monroe, after breaking a lower clamp on my radiator. I think the truck is still good

Just finishing a 900+ mile round trip from central NY to Pittsburg Pa. to pick my youngest up from college.   87 was $4.16-4.25, diesel was $5.32-5.60.  I made it there and back on 2 purchased cups off coffee and 4 slices of gas station pizza.   Today I stopped for lunch/dinner/coffee in Angola NY, thru way rest stop at 4:40pm and most of the little shops in the rest stop were shut down.  Woman behind the counter at the SubWay was complaining that she had been there since 9am (gasp) and the kid behind the pizza counter shut off the lights at 4:47 when I asked how much for a slice of pizza. He sold me two and threw the rest in the garbage. He was going to be Out of there by 5:00, probably sooner.  Wife usually makes that trip alone, she likes to stop at that rest area, said she’s never seen the place shut down like that.  There were 3-4 other little food joints there with the lights off.
