Truth be told Bill... Im not shocked at prices anymore, especially since that rigged election(!) Milk is $3.00+/gallon eggs are $1.79+/dzn, but the worst was Fastenal for some chinastainless screws for the window job; Ten #6 x 2-1/2" panheads were 19.00+ (Thats $1.90 EA!) and a bag of 100 #8 x 1-1/2 flat head Philips was 29.00; thats 29 cents per screw. They should start to include some joy jelly with each order. They are talking $8/gallon for gas here by summer. Cant wait for next November LOL... We'll be buying Russian gas before you know it.

Even in a moviie I saw a few weeks ago, there was a Russian, and a US soldier talking..." the Russian said "Ruskie technology or US technology, it all comes from Taiwan..." Kinda somes that issue up. Crap! The chinanails just busted on the soap box!! Bill

just bought 459 gallons of fuel, 3.85 a gallon at a fuel depot that i know the owners of, they gave me cost price of 3.70. they are expecting a 25 cent a gallon increase over the weekend. they tried to get more fuel before the jump but all transport trucks are backed up with orders. before it is over they expect 5.00 a gallon and maybe rationing

I filled up before I pulled the boat out last fall. Just by dumb luck, but I look like a genius now.

I put 200 gallons in a friend's boat a week and a half ago. Holy crap its going up fast like the squad planned.

The tug owner is locked in at $3.40 right now for 30 days. We are gonna put on TWO to THREE THOUSAND gallons next week. Thats enough for some local harbor work... ws

Bill, came looking for ya last couple of days, no joy. I’ll be back around the 1st of April. I forgot to up plug the 50amp. Power is off on the AC panel onboard, if you’re walking around would you mind pulling the plug please?

[Sadey]

Oh and I went into storage with about 200 gallons and I’ll need to top off for our travels this summer, oooooouuuuuccchhh! Oh well can’t take it with right? Like George Strait says, “I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack”.

[yachtsmanwilly]

Its been nuts here with snow, dogs, contractors, estimates, you know, the "norm".

WILL-CO! "In the maze", wheres the plug at?? Is that a 50A 110VAC plug or two? Theres regular 220 VAC plugs on the posts but most are labeled "Do not use". Hmmm Lemme know! Ill be there about noon. Putting 3000 gallons of fuel on the tug at 1000hrs.

I always unplug when leaving, but looked twice and still forgot the other day... lights and all where on overnight. I think I forgot something topsides and had to climb back up to retrieve it, hence the lites needed on...

Where are you getting fuel at? Dont wanna step on the toes that hacked away at yer stuff, but, we "may" be able to get you locked in on some fuel at a commercial rate. Thoughts?? Bill in TR 630 388 8882
