    Best industry to be in right now is the oil industry think of how its lining their pockets due to a certain leader in an Eastern European nation going to war against the Ukraine if you think $5 a gallon is bad some other countries are paying a lot more for it, we are currently paying around $1.80 per litre in Australia or about $6.00 US per gallon. Just wish this war would end and the world can return to normal unfortunately to many people stand to gain financially from wars it's just the way the world functions right now. :cool:

    This war is what happens when the people in power want to spend your money without asking you for it. They just declare an emergency, appeal to your behaviorally conditioned patriotism, and start printing money to leverage more debt. All the while, folks can’t pay attention to anything longer than a 15 second tik tok, which is ironically part of your conditioning.

    I think we can see in this thread what leads humanity to such conclusions.

    you need to factor in the Aussie v USA $ exchange factor - we are paying similar to the US, in real terms

    Is this purely hypothetical or are the hippies allowing someone to cut trees still? There are only so many places near the friendly city that you can get that far back on dirt... I'm interested to hear a clue as to where the pickup is.

    It's on private ground on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada. Part of the ground is in Plumas County and part is in Butte County. Also, there are plenty of places where you can leave the pavement in the morning and drive on dirt all day and never see another solitary soul if you know your way around and have a few gate keys..

    If you have tacos, I'm there. Even if no work. Just provide tacos. I don't think the BP will let me bring tacos in to Canada.

    As one who has had his posts pulled, I'd have to agree with @MartinFromBC .

    I can neither confirm or deny this. Doing so either way could put my membership in jeopardy in the 3 cliques I'm a member of.

    The clique I belong to, you get tacos. Oh, and a sticker. of a taco. And if there was a secret decoder ring, it'd be shaped like a taco. Not that there is such a thing....there is no secret cabal of clique status that includes taco pins, or decoder rings.

    You know better than to discuss these things in public.

    Can I trade you a taco for a bowl of popcorn? I didn't bring any snacks, just tacos.

    I'm going to leave this trophy here for anyone who'd like it.
