The Difference
A co-worker moved to MN last December from Atlanta Georgia, city girl moved to the sticks. She lives nearly 2 hours away from work by 2 lane highway thru woods and swamps. There has been some discussion here about “when she hits the deer”, but it hasn’t happened. Until now.
The deer wasn’t dead, so the [...]
And the price drops
Gas in GR this morning is at 2.459, although I am told that at 6AM this morning in Bemidji it was at 2.35 (some people I work with live in Bemidji).
Nymex crude is at 68.40, Brent is at 64.24 at the moment.
Been fighting with a Blackberry that doesn’t want to sync with Outlook. Even when [...]
Another Weekend
and winter is fast approaching.
Gas was at 2.519 this morning.
Matt and I got the windows pretty well winterized, better than ever before I think. Spent most of Saturday on that, taking advantage of the nice, sunny, 60 degree day to get some outside work done.
Sunday was colder (40’s) and windy, with drizzle and rain [...]
Snow
Snow in Saturday’s Forecast!!!!!
Gas is at 2.589, highest I recorded was 3.699 on 8/30/08. This will be a help to the budget, once I get it straightened out again.
Oil is at about $63/bbl, down from a high of about $121 at the beginning of August 2008. They say it will be a month [...]
Crazy Week
Winter is fast approaching and I’m nowhere near ready, mostly running in circles around here. Nothing is winterized yet. Had a tire blow-out on Vger. Matt got the Head from Stripez off to the machine shop. Starter died on the WC. Muffler fell off RumJohn. One of my credit cards lowered my limit, raised my [...]
Busy Weekend
Very busy. Replaced the living room window while Betty worked on canning. Haven’t gotten around to a picture of the window yet, here is a picture (from my cell phone) of some of the canning. I think that about half the jars are salsa and half are grape jam.
Rain off and on [...]
Rain
Almost black outside and water is coming down in sheets. As near as I can tell from the NWS website we’ve gotten about 1/4″ of rain since this morning. It’s also a bit chilly, 39 degrees F.
Leaving for Bemidji in a little bit, guess I’ll find out if putting Goop on the windshield molding had [...]
Economics
Quoting from www.thegartmanletter.com:
Dennis Gartman, the editor and publisher of the Gartman Letter, has been in the markets since 1974. Born in Akron, Ohio, Gartman received his BA from the University of Akron and MA from North Carolina State University. After finishing his graduate work in the mid 1970s, he worked as an economist for Cotton, Inc. [...]
Rain Now
It’s pouring rain outside right now, looks like it will continue all morning.
Vger has, for some time, been leaking water across the top of the windshield. A drop here and there. It has worsened over the last couple of months to the point that now my seat was wet when I got in [...]
