And I'm down to 1/8th of a tank.

I can pick the kids up from school with that, and stay at the house all weekend. But my stepson also arrives tonight, meaning I have to drive him back to Houston Monday night, which is a full tank's worth of gas all by itself.

stick him on an inflatable and give him a push.

What?

Our gas is up 47 cents/gallon.

That 47 cents is just price gouging by the distributor, there’s no shortage. The Feds refused to release any of the strategic reserves because there is something like 332 million barrels of gasoline in the system. That’s 42 gallons per barrel. The reason for any shortages is people getting hyper and wanting to fill the tank when it’s ¾ full instead of ¼ full.

The 15 refineries shut down in Texas, including the nations largest the Saudi-owned Motiva plant, represent 25% of the nations refining capacity. They will be back up as soon as they can because it's lost money for them. Don't forget the reason they are located there, to ship crude in and refined out, including EXPORT. Not all the refined products stay in the US.

I did that for a while, but, when I got a new computer, there was no place for my 3.5 inch floppy.

I swear, all I do around here is close doors, turn off lights, and stop the faucets from dripping. It's a 24 hour a day job.

glatt · 09-28-2017, 03:27 PM

Exterior doors or interior?

xoxoxoBruce · 09-29-2017, 12:22 AM

That's the trouble with being a landlord.

I just tried to look up Farman Automobiles on Wikipedia. Their search engine sucks donkey ass sometimes. Hot, sweaty, Mississippi-in-a-heatwave donkey ass.

'Farman' got me aviation-related stuffs. 'Farman automobile' got me squat. Ok fuck the Wiki search, off to Google 'Farman automobile'...guess what the first link was?

'Farman (automobile)'. But, it's in French. FML.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-30-2017, 11:05 PM

But Google will translate it for you.

I’m annoyed. Trying to locate Arran Gold Cream Liqueur, I went to the arranwhisky.com site and looked for where to buy here in the US. They list only the US importer which is Castle Brands in NY City.
On Castle’s site they list the 10, 14, 18 malts, Lochranza Reserve, and cask finished, but no cream.
They show their sub-distributors in each state, and of the 4 in NJ, 3 are up north and none have a site to list what they market.
I'm at a dead end.
I'd ask Limey to get it but shipping booze internationally is asking for big big trouble. Ain't going there.

So now I want it even more.

Yeah. I can't do that. I've tried. Which is a shame because Arran Gold is deeeeeeeeeeliciois!
