Yeah, fuel prices are gonna put the KI-BOSH on lots of activity.

LOL couldn't you see us all show up to an FTE meet & greet in our wive's cars? Not one truck on the lot.

2001 Taurus @ 30mpg here

 

I will NOT show up in my wife's Taurus Wagon! I don't care if it IS an SES model.

Joe

 

Buick....yeah right

 

Wellll, we need to start throwing darts at the calendar. Especially for you guys up north. I'd like to be able to lock in some dates before my schedule is booked.

I've got a convention at Flatwoods on 21/22 June and a Red Cross Safety on the Blue event on 29 June....so the last half of that month is pretty shot already.

I know the company has me in St. Louis for a week in July and then Korea for a week also in July...that shoots the first part of the month.

The Carlisle trip to the all truck nationals is in August (don't remember the exact date) and the 2nd annual WV FTE Truck Show is on 23 August.

And, in September I have a Ruritan National event on 13 September.

This is important (at least to me) because I want to try and make each event you guys are planning. I've seen how you type....now I guess I need to see that you really DO own a Ford truck....lol! Ok, ok, Dave and Rod...yeah I've seen the Beast and the Dirt Devil...but I miss your smilin' mugs!

Get back to us and let us know what you guys want to do!

Joe

 

Heck, I have to get my truck back from my Girlfriends father, he has had it going on three weeks now, granted I do still have the Vette...

 

You must want me to sweep the interior out this time before you see it?

Or are you talking a wash job?

 

Dave....the Dirt Devil's the Dirt Devil....

LOL

Joe

 

Well I just filled up this evening.

53.711 gallons cost me 228.22.
I sure am glad I was not clear empty, that would have been almost 300 dollars to fill up.

4.249 per gallon and the driving season has not even started yet.

 

Yeah the closest gas station to me is at $3.54 for regular and I heard today he's getting a load tomorrow and it'll go up to $3.60.

They'll get it up to around $4.00 for a few weeks, then suddenly drop it to $3.50 and we'll all be loving the "cheap" gas!

 

I'm ashamed to say, I've been hitting the stations across the border in VA for diesel when we make a Sam's Club or Wally world trip.

In self-defense, it's $4.25 a gallon here and I got it last weekend for 3.95 a gallon there. Lemme see....30 cents a gallon times 30 gallons = $9...which is good for two gallons...and it's bound to get worse!

I'm going out to wash the F150 and dust off the steering wheel!

 

Well Virginia is over 150 mile from me, so that would be counter productive for me.

Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland are all closer, but I bet fuel is higher in all three.

 

i stop at flying J in Winchester/Clearbrook on the way in to work since I drive by it everydayon average .35 cents cheaper than WV

 

Yeah, the Flying J is neat because of their card...that gets me a penny off the price.

Joe

 

Flying J is nice if you dont mind waiting in line for 20 mins
