We have been at about 2.40 for many weeks. I think since no one is fueling they had stations are still full of more expensive fuel.

@aero3113 tried to fill up an 275g ibc tote at Costco but they only allow one 5 gallon can and your gas tank btw they looked at me like I was nuts when I asked for all that gas lol

Still 2.10 around here. On our river it was $4.99 for the last 5 years so not sure what it will be this year. I plan to fill up with ethanol free so guessing it's about $3.00 or so there. Need about 50 gallons or so to fill up (75 gallon tank)

aero3113

@javhav only 5 gallons after your car is full? I think I only put 8 gallons in my truck then filled 34 gallons in the cans.

PA is every 2 years. They all expire on March 31. The colors for even years are orange and red. The colors for odd years are green and blue. Makes it easy for the Fish and Boat cops to spot you from across the way if the stickers are the wrong color. Easy way to get pulled over and have a boat check if the color is wrong.

Aqua_Aura

Dream_Inn

@Dream_Inn is Kahuna man related to Jobu 

Dream_Inn

@raybo3 I think there could be a distant relation.  Kahuna lost his hair about 2 years ago. It's a beautiful day on the boat today!!  Even got to blue Angel's and Thunderbirds go right overhead on their way to Baltimore.  I think it was a salute to Annapolis hospital and Naval Academy.  Was pretty cool!

aero3113

Re-installed my cockpit fridge with new door and frame.

I put off my order. I should not have waited. Oh well...

I had to evict a family that had decided to live in my boat. Then spent the rest of the day washing and waxing.

Eviction during COVID is harsh...
