TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I’ve got about 35% of my propane left. I usually fill up in the spring but this year I’m going to roll the dice and probably wait until late summer or fall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total incompetence. I've always done my taxes save for one year we paid H&R Block as a check. They came out just like I had so they must've been right. Going thru an accountant this time because I've got both regular and pension income (hopefully will understand how to handle pension thereby) plus a nasty bite from SSI. Was aware of the last but it's still odd that a 40% cut in income counts as a "windfall". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEastermass128 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 WTI crude around $92-94 equated to gas around $3.65-3.75. If we can keep prices down, maybe we’re back there by April 1? Summer driving and special blends will bump up prices too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s keep this up and then we can drop average gas prices back below $4/gallon. I filled up at Costco yesterday for $3.99/gallon which is the highest it’s been there.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Gas has been pinned at 4.39 at the station near my house for well over a week now., even with crude dropping over 30 dollars a barrel. You can bet if it rose 30 dollars a barrel they couldn’t get those price hikes out fast enough, but now we can’t even get a small decrease 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Oil down another 7.7% today to 95 a barrel. It had peaked over 120 a barrel. Gas prices should be coming down but they are always much faster to rise than fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Today the senate passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Now it goes to the house. Bad news for model watching in the winter. I'm old enough to remember this was tried once before when I was a kid. Everyone thought it was a great idea until people had to wake up and go to school and work in darkness. Sunrise would be after 8am in the winter. Even worse for the people in the northwest part of each time zone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares? you're at work anyway, or sleeping in on the weekend. The chickens don't care what type of time we're on so you can get up later now. Plus it's nice to have light at the end of the work day to do things. I'm loving it since the weekend change it's awesome. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s healthier for your circadian rhythm to be waking up with the light and going to bed with the dark. That’s one thing Kevin definitely gets correct. I like changing the clocks to adjust for the changing daylight. It’s 1 freaking hour twice per year. How hard is it to adjust? Most people don’t go to bed the same time every night anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get up between midnight and 2 AM to eat and have sex like they did in the Middle Ages, though? They say that's how we used to do things before electric lights. Two sleeps/segmented sleep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
