Really? I don't travel much, but I always thought PA had some of the highest gas prices in the country.

One of my kids was in SC and the gas prices were 30% lower than PA.

Diesel is about eighty cents cheaper in Illannoy. Gasoline in the Illannoy collar counties, those that surround Chicago, is sixty to eighty cents higher than in PA.

I topped off the half tank diesel I had in Easton, PA @ $4.09 (Cheap place) so I wouldn't need to refill in PA. I saw it as high as $4.79. I filled up again in western OH for $3.87. Diesel, in Indiana, along the tollway, was almost as bad as PA.

Pulled the trigger on some adjustable clutch and brake levers. Will report back once I've got them and installed them.

8 round bales of hay,cows have to eat.

A drawing tablet screen. Been wanting one since I first saw one but they tend to be cost prohibitive for just fiddling around with graphics and not making a living off them. Scored this jewel as an "open box" item from a local auction for $90. It works great and I'm very tickled to have it. But have zero desktop room for it. Have to figure that out.

These are a "no-go". They are nice, but do not fit. The brake lever has way too much material to be able to fit the perch where the lever pivots.
I'll need to get a complete set up, not just levers.

Bought a Dewalt battery powered string trimmer. I have been trimming all around my house, garage, two phone poles, and a couple of other things with a hand-held pair of grass clippers. I finally snapped and decided this was just too much of a PITA.

According to the Project Farm YT channel, where they test all sorts of tools, this is the best cordless trimmer.

EDIT: I have this 20V version, not the 60V one tested in the Project Farm video. So residential grade vs commercial grade. But it's great for me.

Went to Tractor Supply, needed 4 bolts, lock washers and nuts. Gave the lady a dollar and got 23 cents back. Not often you get exactly what you need and 23 cents n change from a dollar.

The five greatest human inventions:
fire (how to create and use)
the wheel
language
printing press/moveable type
cordless string trimmers

Did all around my house and separate garage, plus some other brush, in about 15 minutes. And no bending over! Afterwards, the charge-status LEDs on the battery still showed all three LEDs. Shoulda bought this thing three years ago, when I moved here.

I have had a Ryobi battery-operated string trimmer for 10 years now, and really like it. I also have one of THESE. He isn't battery-operated, he runs on Popeye's Spicy Chicken sandwiches and GatorAde...:lmao:

My son is cutting weeds and putting them into the trash can with me in the back yard today. His favorite fuel is burritos

Trying to buy airline tickets to get my youngest granddaughter back home to her folks in Maine but Mrs. C stuck her nose in and made a mess of it.>:(

Might be time for Mrs. C to get that one way ticket to Siberia she has been bucking for !

Tempting, but I got it done despite her help. Two one way tickets to Bangor for a whole lotta money and a solitary one way ticket back to O'hare for miles and some cash. I no longer have 'status' with American and do not want to sit in the back of the bus.
