I've got a great idea...let's find a greedy little oil-rich billionare who doesn't have a CLUE how the other half lives and make him the president of the United States!!...he'll have command of the armed forces and he can go over there and teach those camel jockies a thing or two... ::) ...oh yeah...we already tried that one :P ...

[dragn3]

im in long beach, ms

[Stinky_Hooker]

Sweet! SO, are you a self ordained redneck or just a good Ol Southerner?

[dragn3]

i guess i would have to say that i am a good ol' southerner. i just know for sure that i love my wife and kids and to hunt and fish. i like my job pretty well to. i am in no way rascist (i say that cuz alot of people seem to have that opinion of southern people even though in my experiences its the other way around) and i would give a "friend" the shirt off my back so if thats what you would consider a good ol' southerner then thats what i am.

I have a friend that lives in Long Beach!! He is a transplant form Mass, been there for 10+ years now!

He is on S. Island View

$2.67 here, Cost me $64 to fill the truck last night!!

I am thinking of dragging the boat over and filling it. I will get at least one cheap fill before it goes thur the roof!

Going to be looking for close to home fish this year! Most fishing I do is about a 20 gal tank, I carry 65 gal.

[dragn3]

IM NOT SURE HOW MANY GALLONS MY BOAT HOLDS BEING THAT IT IS NEW TO ME AND ALL. I KNOW THE STREET THAT YOUR FRIEND LIVES ON. I HAVE LIVED HERE ALL OF MY LIFE SO I GUESS I SHOULD KNOW IT!

What year is your boat?? CC or Cuddy??

Early 70's cuddy had two 30 gal under the gunnel, I think CC & later Cuddys had like 40 or 45 gal tank under the dexck, then they all went to 60 gal in the 80's I belive.

Yep thats a 60 alright!! ;)

[76GMC1500]

[bigshrimpin]

GMC's closer to the bay than me . . . So he gets the typical bay area gouge on all good and services w/ an 8% sales tax.

Let me tell you though . . . I really enjoy riding my bicycle across campus :o It's the good morning thread x 100 everyday.

[msbhammer]

So SKOOL, you gonna post pics. of the goodies that you recently picked up or what. ;D

Can't drill for oil and can't build refineries but the demand has gone up.

[Warner_Foster]

With gas prices getting to the point of not being able to afford fish from the boat. Wounder how my 1965 Evinrude 9.5 which doesn't burn much gas would push the 20.

[TunaHead]

I was sure California was #1 in SOMETHING. Apparently we lag in this as well...

Hey Skools...whadja brang home ol' buddy :D ...

[tsubaki]

2.73 TODAY.

[sfprovyn]

Not only is it expensive but its really crap gas..A friend of mine works on all kinds of small motors and outboards down here and he told me that 80% of the motors he looks at are running crappy because of bad gas or water in the fuel some of which is only 60 days old. I have been lucky because I pickel everything with a light mixture of Sea Foam and so far everything keeps running ...Frank

Plus they're SKRUIN' us a new way...used to be 10 cents to upgrade (87 to 89...89 to 92)... now I'm seein' a 12 cent difference >:( ...

[parishht]

I just read an article about Hugo Chavez taking over the oil fields in Venezuela.

http://apnews1.iwon.com//article/20070413/D8OFKT0G0.html

Bet the price of gas will sky rocket, again.

[dragn3]

imagine that >:(

[reelapeelin]

Drop yer drawers and grab yer ankles :o ...



Guess ol' Hugo didn't catch the video of what happened to the last thug that tried holdin' up the world's oil market ... remember "Dope on a Rope" Hussein ::) ...

[dragn3]

let em swing till the sun goes down!

[dragn3]

the sh*t went up to 2.91 today. just filled up the fisherman for the weekend. if it goes up to 3.50 or 4 dollars like they say it looks like im go'n to have 2 choices 1. new job for more money 2. new hobby

[macojoe]

well I just going to take more people out and we all chip in, no more alone time.

But I do have commercial permits, so I can sell some to help.

[reelapeelin]

Guess I'll just have to revert back to my ol' job as Gigilo ;D ...



























That's a JOKE ya'll ;) ...

[macojoe]

$2.69

[Franco]

Here is how you can save gas!

[phatdaddy]

the funny part is there is a motor on the boat...

[phester]

3.03 where I usually go...., seen it for as little as 2.95 at the real cheap-o stations ::)

[turbinedoctor]

I didn't read the whole thread, but we fill up the rental van in the Bahamas at $3.85 a gallon. :o

That sucked.

[macojoe]

$2.94 today here!

[bobby2400]

2.89 here in Southeast PA.

[76GMC1500]

I want to go dirt biking tommorow. I figure I'll burn 5 gallons of gas in the bike alone if I ride all day. Premium is $3.77 a gallon right now. Oil is $10.95 a quart. I figure another 5 gallons for the truck. I don't have the money, but I have to ride tommorow because it rained today (no dust).

[reelapeelin]

From 2.65 to 2.85 here...





Let's urge our congressmen to call for special legislation to extend the term of presidency so W and friends can stay on for another 4 years ... they've all been SO good for this country...

[Pipe_Dream]

Do you think it matters who's in office? I believe the oil companies have us all by the short hairs and they know it. As long as we keep buying it they can do whatever they want.

I'll be doing a lot of floating this summer.

[macojoe]

I agree with pipe!

Maybe it was bush that got it started??

But no matter they never going down again!! The oil co. got a big taste for the money and they not going to give it up for anything!!

what we need now is a Hybrid Outboard!!

[reelapeelin]

Do you think it matters who's in office?




I think it does when it's someone who grew up in a oil-rich family with GLOBAL oil connections...have ya seen any other US Pres. walking HAND-IN-HAND w/ Prince Abdullah of the Saudi Royal Family?...holdin' hands, walkin' right up the front steps of the Royal Palace................ ::)...................naaa, nothin' goin' on there................... ::) ...............................

Reel, I'm not saying you're not right, you may be. But what will the next President do that will change things? I just don't see it.

Anyways . . . I just filled up today -- $2.82.

[randlemanboater]

It is a little strange that gas is 3 bucks a gallon when TWO oilmen are in the Whitehouse.


I heard a guy talking on "talk" radio the other day saying that we could tap into the oil fields located here and have enough to not buy Arab oil.

That would be a good idea, but who knows if he's right.

I am switching to solar power for my V.

[macojoe]

The problem with us pumping oil is that we can't make it as cheap as they do! Amercians make to much money!

[phester]

3.15 - 3.24 in N.Y. :(

[bradford]

The Vikings never had this problem.

$2.89 and rising in coastal Georgia.

[TunaHead]

Yeah.. prices suck but it's worse elsewhere.
Gas prices in Norway expected to hit 15 NK per liter. I did the math on that and it works out to $9.48 per gallon. (And Norway has HUGE northsea oil fields)

Be using oars here when that happens!! :'(

[reelapeelin]

Typically a 600.00 fill up :o ...time for REVOLUTION, Guys ;) ...might have to take a lesson from Hugo Chavez...go in w/guns and take over the refineries :-/ ...

[bassarama]

Gotta love this president ::)

Last time I filled up my Dodge truck it cost me..... uh a lot of friggin money, you know what? I don’t even look anymore, we need gas to go places, one good thing I have is a Gas Discover card.

I get 5% off by using it on any auto parts store and any gas station in the USA, we just write a BIG check at the end of each month and I can request my savings on line whenever I want.

[Airslot]

Got gas last night. Mide Grade was 2.89 here in VA. Got 2.35 gallons for the skiff, 5 gallons for the lawn mower, and filled up the truck for a grand total of 70 smackaroos. just hope I can burn some in the V here in the next few days. ;D
