If I start hanging out near gas pumps to point and laugh at anyone in a big truck with a MAGA hat or Trump sticker would that be wrong?
But on that note... going to the gas station sucks right now... I'm either buying diesel or 94 octane. First world problems.
In my corner of northern Virginia, 87 is $3.40/gal. Last week it was $2.55. At least I currently furloughed so I'm not driving the 75-80 round trip miles to my office in DC daily right now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Used to be only available on the local Indian reservation, but then a few petro-canada stations started carrying it. luckily i drive by one daily on the way to the dog’s daycare. 94 octane and a year long carwash membership and it’s damn convenient.
Got my colonoscopy done this morning and only one small polyp this time so now I’m good for five years instead of three. The nurses were great but because I was cold and dehydrated from the clean out, they had difficulty starting my IV. They got it on the 5th time, with my wife on deck to do it. Once I was in a I was more alert than last time ( pleasantly buzzed though ) so I lay there watching them root around in my ass, asking questions and cracking jokes. The doctor was great because I’d asked about the metal clips left behind and he took a minute to show me they were no longer there.we were out of there shortly after nine and now I have the day off to relax. My bad breakfast of choice was a McDonalds steak egg and cheese bagel which I haven’t had in years. Also one of the donuts that my in-laws sent down. Both tasted amazing. Back on the wagon tomorrow.
Been thinking about going electric since I rarely drive my truck out of town but need a panel upgrade (~$5000) and possibly new lines ran from the street if the current ones can't handle 200 amps. So...... looks like I'll be paying $6+ a gallon for a bit
Yeah, I opted for fun over frugal. Electric just wasn't it for me... and it seems like a lot of people feel the same way, seeing as Porsche is drastically reducing EV production and plans, and doubling down on internal combustion (hybrids for some models). As to the truck, it's to tow the Airstream... no way I'd ever go electric for that. I see some "told you it could be done" reports/stories every now and then, but yeah.... no... I'll stick to my diesel.
Until they get the charge time down to under 10 minutes. Electric vehicles are off the table for me. Or massive range 900+km. I want to be able to travel where i want to and not have to wait for an hour for charging.
