Default It's not fuel prices that's going to kill the boat market

Gas may also do it. Took the boat out today, and filled up at $2.92 gallon
at Costco and put $99 in the boat. $3.19 for diesel and $75 for that this
evening.


You may want to look a bit further for the real problem:

as of yesterday, 87 octane at Sam's and Costco was $2.61

Anybody notice that as of today, the amount of oil coming out of Prudoe
Bay has been cut in half AGAIN? Sure seems a tad odd that when the
price per barrel starts coming down, a new problem arises to push it
back up!

Well, I wasn't going boating this week anyway. By next week it'll be fixed
and the price will be back to normal.

So, how come you're not out there fishing??


Spending too much time trying to learn how to hit a golf ball. I'll be
moving the boat down to the Rappahannock River in a couple weeks so the
kids can use it also.

I'm hauling to Lake Hartwell this weekend for some striper fishing.


When you get back, tell us how it went. Leave out the politics though!

And...good luck!
