What collage are you by Sac, sorry, Love the UP, but not familiar enough to figure out where there is a collage near you. You are right on the border of Wis, where 2 leaves, and then it comes back in at Iron River, right?

So, next question, how about those PECS, I believe that was the nickname I remember, I think I would rather be a troll.

Ok, so a little math.

There are 128 ounces in a gallon. There are 30 12 ounce cans in a 30 pack of Busch Light. So that means there are 360 ounces of beer, or 2.8125 gallons. I pay $15.99 for a 30 pack. Therefore I am paying 5.685 a gallon for my beer. On the other hand, if I use my kegerator, I get 15.5 gallons for 72 bucks, which equates to 4.645 a gallon.

So basically gas costs about the same as beer. And Busch is cheap beer.

This time next week the sign will be accurate. Current National avg. for diesel is $4.11 per gal or $0.0321 per oz.

ah yeah i go to Gogebic Community College. going in for Automotive Technology. I have put in a few more applications which i'm pretty confident about (one at o'reilly's auto parts, one at a building supply store, and one at a full service gas station and service garage, all things that are right up my alley). the guy i live with actually works at o'reilly's and he can always put in a good word for me because he knows i do plenty of auto work. and yes, i am right on the mi/wi border. take us2 for a minute or so and you're in wisconsin.

Hey Sac, did I catch that right,,,, 'full service gas station'. Are you talking check the oil and wash the windows? Could it be true. I had no idea they still had those places. Here in California, they set behind bullet proof glass and have a real attitude. ;O(

yes it is very well true! i couldn't believe it myself! guy who runs the place is really cool, too. i saw quite a few cars roll in when i was b.s.ing with him. i don't think i've ever seen a gas station with bullet proof glass. then again, i've pretty much stuck around michigan. even when i was in the lansing area i didn't see a single station with bullet proof glass. i kinda wanna see one now haha.

Ya know Sac, so many places out here in California are so darn politically correct, I'd be afraid if I tried to take a picture of the person behind the bullet proof window, they might think something is up and call the police on me. I kid you not. So tired of this politically correct C**p too. Hummmmmmmm. Pretty hard to beat the weather. ;o)
