Good afternoon! 30° now, supposed to get to 35° later. Supposed to get something this evening, but so far, not sure whether it is ice, ice & snow, or just snow. Hopefully doesn't interfere with our meeting with our financial advisor.
Just saw a ranking today that the county I live in is ranked 8th best in the state for quality of life in the state. Kind of surprised me. Maybe that is why housing prices are getting stupid for this area and properties are on the market under 4 hours.....
Yes
@mostly_gas, I find humor in those calls. It astounds me that someone would call an OEM about something that old and have no information or tools to service it. There have been some memorable ones over the years. Only one today was someone bought two old machines at an auction and called and asked if I could send him the titles.
Good luck with that.
I have 1 Nikon scope
@Buppies. I really like it. Shame they left the market. The optics are exceptionally clear.
On the whole discussion of oil imports/exports/pipelines/dependency, etc., one thing that is not discussed or maybe not understood is type of product. There are different grades of oil and different capabilities of refineries. I don't believe the US produces all of the light sweet crude required for our country to function on. We used to produce a lot of "intermediate crude", but that production has tailed off. But we do produce an excess of heavy crude. And boatloads of natural gas and distillates. And we have a lot of refineries that work best on "intermediate crude" . So yes, it can be claimed we are net "exporter" in recent times, but we were exporting more of the heavy crude, NG, and distillates than we were importing light sweet crude and intermediate grades of crude. That is a bit simplified, but it is a dynamic of the domestic oil market that has been going on for a long time.
Everyone stay safe out there!
