gas prices have sure spiked, it seems what is good for the stock market is good for ExxonMobil.
Premium non ethanol, what I use in my car and all my gas equipment, jumped 30 cents to $3.29.
A bargain for many of you out far on the distribution chain, but noticeable here. Hopefully we aren't getting back to 20 dollar fill-ups of
5 gallon cans...
More likely just some age old manipulation of the market designed to make some refiners even wealthier.
The fat cats get fatter.
While their refineries burn most often it seems from lack of maintenance.
Headed out to use a trim mower while it's cool out. Taller weeds along the driveway, I think because dark color of pavement heats the ground faster, like black plastic in the garden, and weeds germinate faster near the heat. The trek from barn to mailbox is a good walk, walking behind a mower is good exercise. And they say exercise is good for my ear. Ok... Husqvarna awd mower with Honda engine, likes to go in straight lines, not so easy to trim with. I have a ditch mower, which is the lightest weight bottom end Poulan you find in front of hardware stores, and the lightness is the key for me pushing that up and down ditch slopes. Worked on that yesterday, sharpened the blade. Once I got it going with starting fluid (in the foam filter, not down the throat) and dosed it heavily with Sea Foam, it seemed to get much happier. This will be the third year for that mower and I'm expecting to see holes in the deck appear soon.
