I always liked to do all that at least weekly.If I didn't file everything daily I would have some long nights on weekends.But doing it that way I could at any given time through the year tell where i stood

Back when fuel was $1.25 my fuel bill would $10k to $12k a month

An excavator that I know had a kid operate a front loader with one of the tires very low. The tire was something like $2500 IIRC

Morning everyone.

Brendan,
That's a different way to measure tread depth on a tire.

Jake,
That sucks. Look at it this way, it could be a lot worse. I've done stuff like that before and I feel really dumb about it for a few days and then move on.

Tristan,
I spent nearly half that on diesel alone in 24 weeks last year just going to work, none of which I can write off.

Ray,
10K to 12K at $1.25!! Imagine that bill at $5 that it was last year.
