Longjohn ★ Posted June 5, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 5, 2019 I’m taking my wife to the senior luncheon over at the church. I hope I can fit her wheelchair in with all the gas cans I have in the back of the Pilot. I can save $10 by buying my gas over in Ohio while I’m there. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer gas cans are not vented so it should be ok. They have been in the back of the car since Monday when I went Kayaking. I haven’t smelled anything. I was going to look for a gas station after I was done kayaking but the creek I was going to kayak down to the lake on was a raging river from all the storms we have had. If I had put in there I wouldn’t have been able to get back upstream to my car. i was telling my brother we should leave his truck on the other end of the lake and take the kayaks up on the Pilot. The 14mph wind on Monday was blowing down lake all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted June 5, 2019 Share #20 Posted June 5, 2019 1. Food Storage. This AM I ate two Croissant Sausage-Egg-Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches so that when I go shopping today I can buy two 4-packs at Aldi (on-sale, $2.95/4!) and have enough freezer room remaining for them to fit. 2, Stocks. Then I had to check my stocks: Tuesday was my 3rd largest stock gain since the 2008 crash. Everything looks fine. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store announced a special dividend for the 5th year in a row, of $3, and raised their quarterly dividend to $1.30 from $1.25. That gives CBRL a 5.03% dividend yield. I've been adding to CBRL since I bought it for no fees through it's DRIP for $17/share around 1995. The stock is $163/sh. right now. I'm still in its DRIP. 3. Trash Recycling Center. I have to drop-off an old, non-working air conditioner and pick up two free Yellow recycling trash cans. I have a ton of cardboard boxes I simply piled up during the year and a half I couldn't put pressure on my repaired left shoulder and the big bin-on-wheels the county provides doesn't hold enough for me to go through them fast, so I'm going to make sure I fill two extra recycling trash cans each week. 4. Walk Jake by 2 pm to beat the PM thunderstorms. Looks like a nice day otherwise - high of 83F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky let loose just as i was getting my wife’s wheelchair switched over to the Pilot. She didn’t get too wet because she had an umbrella, I was walking with her without an umbrella, I was pretty much soaked. My wife was mobbed by friends who missed her as soon as we got there. I figured out how to get a wheelchair overa high threshold . When I bought gas I saved over $20.00 buying it in Ohio. Mercer gas is $3.09 a gallon and I paid $2.36 a gallon. I can’t believe people re-elected our crooked idiot governor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He raised our state gasoline tax in his first term, supposedly to fix our roads and bridges. We have the highest gasoline tax in the country even higher than California. Our roads seem to be getting worse not better. They raised the tolls on the turnpike supposedly because the cost of maintaining it was going up. They used the extra millions to finance the state police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the gas tax increase was approved by the legislature and signed by Governor Tom Corbett, before Wolf took office. They went into effect during Wolf’s term, but were approved as law by Corbett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew that a governor needed the legislature to pass a bill before he could sign it into law?!? Or that Corbett (R) and the GOP legislators could be responsible for a law that went into effect during Wolf (D)’s term. Now, Wolf has advocated for the benefits of the tax monies, but we have terrible roads and bridges in this state, so I don’t object terribly to any of the decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
