Heading out in a hour or so to test a boat.

Should be fun - repowered 23' Hydrasports CC - bolstered stern with
twin 250 Verados. A lot of work done on this boat - came from
Mississippi after Katrina.

Haven't really wrung out a pair of Verados yet - should be fun. It
will be interesting to see how they compare to ETECs.

I'm going into this with an "open" mind.

Hope you had a good time. Ours is sitting in my drive with the winter
cover
off and the batteries charging. Will take it to the marina tomorrow to
start working on it.

Used our Fuel Perks points (30 gallons max) and filled up my wife's
Highlander (16 gallons), put 10 gallons in the boat topping it off and
the
remaining 4 gallons in a gas can. All for the price of a little over
$5.

I paid $2.87 a gallon earlier today in Waldorf, MD, at a WaWa. As the
meter ran, I genuflected in the direction of Dicque Cheney.

Do you think the price of gas would fall if the Democrats took power? That
would sure make boating much cheaper!


The Democrats already took control of Congress on January 4th.

Average price of regular grade gas on January 8th: $2.258

Average price of regular grade gas on April 30th: $2.922

That's a nice 29.4% increase...in just under 4 months. Even Cheney's
gas-manipulation powers can't compare to that of the evil Demoncrats.



The Democratic Congress did not establish a secret energy policy with
the nation's drillers, importers, refiners, et cetera. Dick Cheney,
acting on behalf of the oil interests, did.
