Say what?
Our gas is 96 cents a liter right now. How could we be paying a buck a liter taxes?
Income tax of 50 per cent? You'd have to make a pretty good income to
pay that much. I've paid income tax all my life and never paid that.


Last trip to BC. Was $1.19 a liter. Add up your taxes, and see what the
percentage is. Sorry, meant a buck a gallon. 3.7 liters per gallon. So
close to $3.60 a gallon. Probably $2.40 a gallon for US average. Your
income is on the low end., so expect low tax rates on your income

Low end? What would you consider "low end" Swill?


Your income. You are a retired janitor. How much did you make a year?
How much is your pension? How much did you save? You only look at cheap
boats, not what you would really like. Impressed with a person you can
crew on with a 30' boat. I was a professional Silicon Valley engineer.
Most likely a 5x factor salary of a janitor at least. Stock options, not
granted to a janitor. They are easy to hire. A good engineer? Much
harder to hire. Companies compete on salary, benefits, options, and how
interesting the job is. I turned down a job at Sandisk, for a biomedical
engineering job, as it was more interesting, then doing the firmware for a
SCSI interface memory chip.



There isn't much room to store a decent size boat on a 4000sf lot
along with his house, a car, and a couple of out houses. You've
heard him complain about how difficult it is to place his little
boat in storage.


Well, mine is hard to back into it's garage at the storage yard. Thinking
of putting a front hitch on the truck. Hard to get a 45' long rig to turn
into an storage structure with a not real wide lane in front.

That would be almost $4US a gallon and we are paying less than $2 in
Ft Myers.


There dollar is only about .86 of our dollar last I looked.



"there dollar"??
Is that engineering talk Swill or just the booze talking again?


Autocorrect.

Hey, be nice...Swill is a *genuine* Silicon Valley software engineer, he
tells us. :)



Did not say software. Learn to comprehend.

I put a Curt hitch on the front of the Silverado. Works well, not too hard to install.

You really should stop commenting on the language skills of others, Mr.
Silicon Valley engineer.


Maybe you should have gotten something other than an English degree. Might
not have had to declare bankruptcy twice. When is the the third
declaration?



Krause won't get a third chance. He's tapped out. No one would
loan him a dime. Mrs. Moneybags is the only thing preventing him
from residing in a cardboard box. Sad but true.

"Donnie's car isn't capable of wearing a front hitch."


I don't have a car, Justine.
It's registered as a truck and the insurance company rates it as a truck.
