Temp here today is 46 with a 15-20 mph wind blowing. It aint warm!!! Last week was 60-70 and riding was indeed good. Rain tomorrow and Sunday. However the Bradford Pears are in full bloom and the Jonquils, my favorite flower, are blossoming. That is a sure sign that Spring is just around the corner.

Yep, we will be getting 50s and rain on Saturday and Sunday. Then Monday thru Thursday, highs in the high 50s to mid 60s with thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday. Alley, you send that snow on eastward not south!!!! We have had our allotment for the year.We cant afford to drive to FL to get away from cold weather.

One of the places I use as a barometer is up to $3.75, $3.99 for Premium. OK enough with the cold and snow, I'm ready to strike back with the scooters and bikes.

Ditto, although I'm losing the junk sat on the seat, not under it I figure theres a good 50lbs to be lost there lol. We are about $4.30 a wonky gallon for the good juice, depending on where you buy. On the cable front here I think our speeds are doubling for 'free' this year sometime. Always nice to know. We are going from message in a bottle to carrier pigeon. Sorry to hear of your woes Mcalli, hopefully it will be fixed soon and you will have learned more about your new scoot! (as monty python sang, always look on the bright side of life).

Fuel prices here, rounded off, varied from $3.60, $3.80, $4.00, the three grades. to $3.46, $3.66, $3.86. These weree at the name brand stations. Indie stations were running about ten cents less. Should be more by weeks end. Glad I have the scooters!!

Try $5.39 @ Suncoast Energy, Orlando, Fl.
I thought that Disney would take you for a ride, these A$$HOLES will take you for more.

Check out the jouleunlimited web site. They have geneticaly engineered micro organisms to produce hydrocarbons as waste, either ethanol or diesel. Will start commercial production next year. They estimate a cost of about 30 dollars a barrel.

M/C The worst thing about that place is that they don't have the usual signs on at the road to tell you what the prices are. You have to go to the pump to see it. They're right across the street from a couple of the major rental car places, so... they blantantly prey on those who are returning rental cars. The City of Orlando has been fighting with them about their business practices for a long time. Drive just a quarter mile north and you'll find normally priced gas. ;-)

The local gas station in town, that I never go to, just hit $3.81 9/10 a gallon for regular. Premium is over $4.00. I was too afraid to see how much.
