Is it really over $5/gal now still?

"unless" I don't know????

what whiskey?

unleaded gas is less than $3 per gal las

the whiskey is worth it btw

Give him a break. He's still learning that damn phone!

God I love autocorrect!

I typed in unlead.. Actually it pisses me off no end!

Thought the quote I got from Crowley was outrageous. $279 for the gas, 114 for the drum itself - dang near Kotzebue price! Plus 150 delivery to Nenana. Plus barge fee. I'd rather move it in smaller containers anyway if I move it myself., and it looks like I will. Believe I can buy it cheaper in Manley for that matter. And a lot less trouble.. 40 years ago going the Nenana and the barge people was the way to do it. No more I guess.

Fogger either misquoted or tried to slip it to me - either way he's off the island!

[quote=ironbender]Give him a break. He's still learning that damn phone! [/quote/]

No I'm not. I quit! Not the phone, just the learning the phone.

How big a barrel at that price? Can you get or borrow 15 or 30 gal plastic fuel drums? You could just about raft them to your site! <grin>

You called Crowley and now you wonder if they quoted you 'high'? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Is there any other answer to that? Good grief, get a grip, man.

(BTW, and throw a 'couple' drums in the U-haul when you haul the stuff up that way. )

If you think phones are bad, try using Windows 8 on a laptop.

I've never wished a slow agonizing death to anyone, but I nominate the Windows 8 development team.

That's what I have here. I'd rather run a snowblower into the wind!

may not help las

but I use Alaska Petroleum for unleaded fuel delivery

488-0575

On further consideration, I may have gone off half crocked......

I'll check again, but it's likely that $279 quote included the drum - which still aint worth $115!

And yeah, I have a couple 16 gal plastic drums, an 18 gallon fuel tank from a previous motor-life, some 5's, a 6 for the 4-stroke, and will likely buy at least one 12 for it before leaving. Smaller containers are easier to handle and trim boat with, but I'm not sure the bulk plant will allow that. We'll see.

Looking more and more like trailering myself from Fbks to Manley, either with my way-over-built boat trailer or a u-haul (still to be checked on).

Bender, I'd love to raft the stuff down, but I'm not old enough yet to retire to where I have the time. I'm taking the checks tho.

Put the number in the phone for reference and thanks, but right now I'm short! 48 hours and it's cervasas in Mazatlan (finally learned how to spell that- I just don't know which of the 4 we are going to.... and I don't care!)

If we get out of here. Went from 26 below and calm 4 hours ago to 20 knots and still -20. 'sposed to be blowing in some warm air. and snow. OAN claims its -4! Ha!

bastid! somebody oughta hose you on fuel, wish it was me


ouch but that salt in the wound

momma and the sprout are headed to Kauai in a few days, me? oh no I had to start a new biz, despite momma telling me "don't do it, we've plenty of money and the time to enjoy it"

have a great time in ole Mexico las


as for the pool boys and lifeguards on Kauai, better watch out lads momma will be on the loose there in a few days, guard your junk!

I'll stay here and check out the latest in parka fashions

No point in calling Crowley for anything unless you have no other option. Inland Barge or Ruby Marine are ALWAYS the better choice. Where are you shipping fuel to? I usually just have drums filled by Nenana Heating right in Inlands yard. No delivery fee. Looked into having it delivered from Fai to save some $$, but unless I'm able to haul it myself it's cheaper to go with Nenana Heating. I've done this a bunch and for many years so feel free to pm me if you have specific questions.

dang las, hit the zero instead of the two

sorry pard, 488-2575

Randy has been telling me about all of his retirement plans and the starts a new business......too busy for lunch with Old Vern.....sends wife off to HI....???????

Mean while Old Vern is planning another hunt.

am thinkin Randy is whacky on the junk

WTF was I thinking Vern? been averaging over 70 hours a week


gonna miss seeing the daughter and granddaughter in Hawaii, momma got a wild hair and booked them tickets last night

was fine not going to HI, btdt

but gonna miss seeing those girls big time


and I do sorely miss our lunches, momma was planning on you steering me towards being a gentleman!

The good news is that it'll be legal soon.

It really troubles me to hear of Randy working 70 hour weeks but it's guys like him that keep Social Security solvent. For that I'll thank him on the third Wednesday of each month.

I also worry about Randy keeping his freezer full so if he draws a bison tag, I may have to volunteer my efforts.

I'll be PM'ing you when I get mine, if that's OK.

Randy has a steak (or 10) out of it for sure!

Sure thing IB!

Randy's going to work way into his senior years so we better run his steak through the grinder to save on his dentures.

You are now on the steak list too!

This would have been the year with an open winter and warm. No hunters for last six weeks and I can go anywhere with the pickup.

don't drown in the tears you're shedding for me Vern!

dang a freezer full of bison sounds delish!
