You still have the other side of that pump and diesel pumps with all the outside gas pumps. Plenty to choose from except that the gas pumps start backing up during high traffic times due to the way low prices.

Morning

I've stopped there when in the area and have started to pump and the truck comes in to make a delivery and parks on the outside lane to the diesel pump. So just wait and get the cheap diesel in 5 minutes rather than 1.

Closing schools for a dusting that is going to start within an hour of schools end? Why???

Going out for tickets today, just have to play because it's there. I don't think I want the aggravation of winning a billion dollars. A million would suffice.

Tom, how is Hannah doing? Haven't heard any thing.

Good morning everyone!

Slowly warming up, only -9° at the moment.

Yep, I remember them doing that. Never figured out why they were so paranoid out there. No delays or closings out here for the cold we've had, and they don't seem to flinch at small amounts of snow. Terrain may have something to do with it though, we don't have the hills you do in Connecticut.

I have a great solution for you John! Take your million out of your winnings and send me the remainder. I'm sure I could find something to do with it.

No change as of now, she sees the allergist this afternoon. Good news is that it hasn't gotten noticeably worse. We'll know more as soon as she gets an MRI.

Well CT is the insurance capitol and its a state of mostly whiners now. God forbid kids walk home in falling snow and deal with the weather.

Unless we're delivering diesel then I park on the inside lane but, yeah the wait is normally okay at that station

Speaking of snow were is it? I saw about 5 minutes of snow and before that rain. I guess the corners of the state got a couple of inches. But My lawn is still brown. 5 years ago today my dog was running in 6 to 8 inches of snow.

Morning

I have a spot in my heart for Wyoming. Did a couple of hunts in my earlier days there. I've driven the entire 48 on my Harley and another time in a car. There is a lot of gorgeous landscapes and weather variations out there. So if i'm a billionaire at the end of the day, I plan on a tour of the states again.

I certainly enjoy that part of the country. Colorado up to the Dakota's and over into Idaho. Some amazing country to disappear in.
