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.
How do you know the Democrats in Congress did not establish a secret
energy policy with big oil to increase the price of oil?

How do you know they both didn't?

Makes sense - the oil companies got what they wanted and the enviros
(aka Democrats) got what they wanted. Eventually, oil use has to drop
becaues of price.

The real problem is the trading pits. The information flow is now
instant - somebody sneezes in Nigeria or Saudi Arabia and five seconds
later, it's headline news. There isn't enough time to adjust - you
have to instantly react to the news and "do something".



The real problem is that the White House has no compunction about
allowing Big Oil to perpetrate and perpetuate as big a ripoff of the
consumers as possible. President Idiot just doesn't give a damn.
Remember, he's the same guy who thinks it is a great idea to export as
many US manufacturing jobs as possible, and to allow in as many illegals
as possible, in order to drive down the wages of US workers.
