Is fuel going to keep anyone home this year?

Jason,

If David Merriman has summoned

Jason,

If David Merriman has summoned you to defend your remarks, you'd better dam# well "step up to the plate" and see what he has to say. You owe that much out of respect as David IS the Master when it comes to Model Submarines.

So, nut up and see what Dave has to say about you!

Safrole is natural rootbeer flavor,

Safrole is natural rootbeer flavor, which has now been sadly replaced by artificial flavoring, which is just not the same. I always loved natural rootbeer, but now they decided it will kill you, so life got a bit duller. Why are you buzzing about my little screen name? I've had that for years. I am 'safrole' on ebay as well.

You know my phone number is on the website. You can call me and talk to me. I'm a real person. You can call me up and chew me out if you want. This "if you are man enough" and "step up to the plate" and "nut up and see" talk reminds me of some double-dog-dare-you schoolyard banter. Why don't you guys just start clucking at me? (just kidding)

Matt, I like the "look it up" reference! That's never gonna die. I do apologize about that remark; it was snippy and premature.

I already shot Dave an email.

I have to say that

I have to say that it is no surprise to me I am anex amoco manager of more than 5 years experiance so I have an inside track first of all we are damned lucky it has not gone this high in the past dont get me wrong 2+ bucks agallon is a real hard thing to swallow but if you want to get to work and get around then bite the bullet or try public transprortation
I whole heartedly agree with our uk friends they pay more than we do and get less so we are still lucky
now for the part most of you dont know and will find it hart to beleive
its not all the oil companys a good portion of it is the stantion franchise owners yes price changes come tru from corporate headquarters and you are expected to raise in accordance with the regulations but there are those owners who go a few pennies more that is the real hard thing to swallow but it happens and I can say I blame them its sucks but here is the bad news for them
after paying all the bills vendors and contractors and maintance contracts blah blah blah and payroll the owners are lucky to make 3 to 4 cents a gallon YES THIS IS THE TRUTH
I just returned from vacation in florida and I drove prices varied from 1.69 to 2.19 big jump there but the highest price in the country is right here in my home state
WISCONSIN 2.15 to 2.19 a gallon it was just on the news
and we have the second highest state tax 26 cents per gallon then add the federal taxe and we are at 45 cents per gallon
what does all this mean .................................................
not much but we have no choice so stop wining and cring about it america is sich a buch of sissy's sometimes
I want what I want reguardless and more of it and right now
WAKE UP PEOPLE WE ARE IN THE 21 CENTURY
we need to start thinking about a global econemy and a global government we are all people of the same race human
and childeren og god

Good idea, Jeff please put this thread out of it's misery.

On track it is.

On track it is.
I won't be making it this year, in large part, due to gas prices. I also have to skip the USS Amberjack reunion (first one since she was decommissioned in 73) for the same reasons.
I hope this helps. Or, at least, satisfies your curiosity.
