Local stations were at $3.79-9 for a while.. Today (wednesday) the prices jumped 20 - 30 cents. Stations near us that were $3.79-9  are now $4.09-9 for regular.

Diesel is still the same price, i doubt that lasts long.

Some rumbles on the price increase is: Summer blend change over(its not summer here yet)... and the Calliefornia refineries are not operating at capacity .

      

After helping load the truck, I took the profits from that project and went to McDonald's and ate, on the dollar menu. LOL.

Or: the secret senior menu?

 

Discovered (remembered) that there is a wire business here in the valley of the sun AZ.

CE Auto Electric in Gilbert AZ. That near 60 miles away , so shipping is likely cheaper than a drive to them?

It rained cats, dogs, small farm animals here sunday nite.

On Directv SAT service the station FETV has started showing the old Highway Patrol show with Broderick Crawford as Dan Mathews.  Of course I am recording the show

Couple photos of Arizona based drag cars at event we attended saturday

Bought this cordless power grease gun a few weeks ago.  WOrks well. A bit awkward to move around under my RV to grease stuff.

Milwaukee brand, 12volt power.

Visited a hot rod gathering this saturday:

A few photos of some cars there..

I've been down and out... My allergy stuff worked into a head cold.  I have that cold mostly burned out of me now.

We had a couple days of mostly calm weather.  Saturday afternoon we have a new rain storm to roll in, thru monday. 

I found a couple tired  bicycles for 20 buck$ each. I may buy them for another small project.  LOL 

A few trim items in the bathroom of this mobile home need replacing and caulking of course...  THese old park model manufactured houses are like children: they always need attention on something.

I cancelled my Motor Trend subscription on Amazon Prime video near 2 weeks ago... I checked the Discovery +  section and nothing there was interesting enough to spend more money to keep the few automotive shows I watched on Motor Trend.

Then: Amazon bills me the $ charge for Discovery+ on the switch over date when the Motor Trend sub ends, and the merge to Discovery+ happens. I worked on cancelling the Discovery+ and a refund.

   Its always something.

Rolled the RV out today.  Open it up. Check stuff inside. No leaks found from recent rains and blowing wind.

My allergies are still nutz. Its been a couple years since I had a bad case like this one.

Weather continues to be very windy, slight rain each day or overnite .

The "clubs" hit $3.50 a gallon over the weekend..  THey have dropped back to $3.48 a gallon for regular.

Street prices have come back down  2 to 5 cents a gallon on regular ,  Diesel remains the same

Lot of rain , wind , rain , more wind here for 5 days in a row.. Spring has sprung here too.  My allergies have gone nutz.

Installed the 2 new batterys in the rv last week.. another $217.00 with tax in the fun we have?  Battery case lids are not installed in the photo. They are vented to the outside

I can not upload photos..  I do not see my upload directory to clen it out or at least reduce it. thx

 

The clubs are at $3.45-9 for regular this thursday...

I bought diesel for my F350 truck today.  We had 30 cents discount from the price $3.93-9  to $3.63-9

 

Apologies for my whine here:

We watch various TV shows here n there..  For us the Prime Amazon charge with included video and music was a good value for our needs.  Now Prime Video has increased fee via the addition of "limited ads" , of course for an additional fee of $3.00  you can remain "ad free". 

Motor Trend is merging with Discovery + and of course the fee is higher.  Now it will be more $ to watch some of these automotive shows.

A couple of the home repair TV shows have become tied to increased fees.  We stopped watching them. They want 7.99 here, 9.99 for another streaming... I signed up for a small package on Prime Amazon to watch the Home repair type shows.. After the first week, I learn the fine print is the popular shows are additional $ fee for current content for 20 to 25 dollars per season.  So , I cancelled that package.

Increased ads on various internet forums has reduced traffic on the forums.  The Hotrod forums I visit , the traffic has dropped by  a huge amount.

I stopped listening to local OTA radio because of the near constant ads they put forward.  If I listen to the radio I use Prime Music on my phone.. Which I am waiting for fee increases on that too.
