Has always been high north of Bishop. I didn't know about the monopoly guy. I always just figured it was supply and demand.
I assume you know about the Mobil in Lee Vining. You have to turn west on CA120 to enter. I paid around $3.50 for diesel in Oct and Nov. About $1 more than it was going for at home. If I need to fill up north of Bishop, that is where I try to go. A very nice 2 side dump station too. The store and deli was closed for the year when I was there in Nov, but the pumps were still open. And they had the outside restroom open with an electric heater running. I thought that was nice of them. Even though it probably had more to do with state regulations, and keeping the plumbing from freezing up.

w6pea,
Sorry to hear about your dealership experience. They should really learn to find a happy medium between swarming you like sharks with blood in the water and/or avoiding you like you've got the plaugue. You have a beautiful truck though.
You should take your truck and the wife's new ride in to that dealership and ask to speak to the man or woman in charge. Then thank them for allowing you to broaden your horizons with their salesperson's incompetence and ignorance.

I was going to go and look at a Ford Flex and drive my Ram in there lot but they don't have any on the lot any more. But that is a good idea. I know a guy that does window tinting and he does a lot for them. I will ask him who the General Manager is. It's a Family owned dealership and I called them to ask to speak to the owner, and never got past a Secretary of the sales manager and never got a call back.

Aren't bottles used the same way, and with a whole-lot-less work?
There's about 40 minutes I won't ever get back!

Yep, bottle house. That's what I thought too. He covers adding bottles toward the end.

Pretty interesting scale. Never thought there'd be hardwoods three times harder then Ash, knowing it's considered hard enough to be for baseball bats. Also surprised how soft teak, walnuts and cherry woods are relative to the top hardwoods.
Thanks for sharing Sean.

I always thought Ironwood was a species, but seems it's a generic term.

Would be fun to try and grow a Ipe here in So Cal.
