    It is amazing to me that in my town we had a few family owned oil companies and purchasing lubricants was simple. Now they sold out and the bigger companies changed everything. I now have to drive elsewhere to buy my stuff. I refuse to pay retail prices for grease cartridges because they are grossly inflated. Also, getting a case of them isn’t easy. Oil pricing is ok so I can’t complain about that.

    Waiting on pricing from a company 15 miles away. I will gladly drive to be able to buy everything I need, not just some here and there.

    I got a lube here. Was going to have them do a PM since we have a Landstarve special price but they have no synthetic.

    Truck isn't even close to needing it, but just so I know.

    Never been a synthetic man for the truck, but that's what this newer model DD uses.

    The only thing about that is, that is a lot of weapons.

    You'd need a place to stash them where they wouldn't deteriorate.

    It's one thing to maybe get caught with one that doesn't belong to you, getting caught with 250, you're going to do some time, and the Russians don't have any lesbians to trade.

    The other thing, that is much more ominous, having that many, if you are discovered, for whatever reason, and they begin to peel the bark off, and it turns out several were used in homicides........Lucy, you gonna have A LOT of splanin' to do.

    Wind is HOWLING down the plain today. Today would be a very bad for fuel economy.

    We just had brunch. Cup O Noodles and salad and Purina 1. Maybe $1.75 for both.

    Do you heat up your Purina 1, or do you just scarf it down cold?
