Hmmmm. The Justwait and Loogy families getting together to socialize, and
maybe even...breed. Imagine the results of *that* sort of
cross-pollinization...an entirely new breed of semi-human that spends its
days walking repeatedly into brick walls.

Herring lives in Virginia...I'm sure he'd welcome a few more trailers on
his front lawn for the "visit."


It's the least he could do for the enlisted men

LOL.. Bull****!

Well, it's a very nice car, to be sure, and very
fast, but you get into a schittload of trouble down here in Southern
Maryland if you exceed 150 mph on the highways! *:) I think he paid in
the low six figures for the car. For that, he could have bought my old
Jag, which is still sitting in a "hermetically sealed warehouse,"

Bull****!

and
had a *real* sport car.

Bull****, Bull****, Bull****..

Have you noticed that ANYTHING that is mentioned, Harry has it, does
it, much better and bigger than anybody else? I'd love to see a
picture that would prove the existence of that Jag in a "hermetically
sealed warehouse" along with his lobster boat, and some evidence of
his father's infamous trip across the Atlantic and back in a runabout
leading to a fireboat welcome in NYC!!!!

On another note, remember the before pics of the problem I had? I'll
be sending some updates soon.

Cool, glad to hear things are coming back to normal... *I will be
awaiting the pics. Hope CoolBreeze is doing better too. Is that clutch
hand out of the cast yet? If not, I have a bike that's one speed..
fun...;)- Hide quoted text -

Yep, she hasn't put the velcro cast for the clutch hand on in awhile,
it's still a little stiff. The throttle hand is coming along, she'll
need physical therapy on that, but it's a velcro cast now too. She got
in the pool yesterday evening, was good to see!- Hide quoted text -

That's awesome man.. Now we just need to find someone about half way
between our houses with some property.. Looks like Roanoak is about 8
hours for each of us;) Any of you wrecked boaters live in VA? Wanna'
have a wrecked boats block party;) ??

There used to be a big area just south of where I live that was full of
dirt bikers every weekend. Now it's called 'Kingstown'. Needless to say,
there's no room for the dirt bikers any more. I don't know where they ride
now. Hell, maybe they go to West Virginia someplace.

I think we are talking two different things here. I am not referring
to motor oil. I am talking about gasoline.
The point the chemist was making was that gas is gas when initially
refined from crude. What differentiates the different brands is the
type and amount of additives they use. Mobil claims to have twice the
amount required by EPA standards. Chevron touts it's "Techron" or
whatever. Shell uses their proprietary "V Power" in the high test.
Each of these additives are required to minimize deposits, but each is
a different formulation or amount.

So, gas may be gas. But the gas you buy at Mobil is different than
the gas you buy at Shell ... or Chevron. That was his point, and I
found it interesting that he recommended rotating the brand every 5k
miles to get the full benefit of each of these different additives.

Ok, so where do they take the Hess Gas the trucking contractor filled up
with at 6AM this morning on hsi way to the Shell stations to blend in
this amazing array of chemical magic? There is no Shell refinery within
a thousand miles of Charleston, so it didn't go there. I can tell
because it came from Hess, where everybody fills up their trucks, right
under the Mark Clark Expressway bridge at the Hess tank farm which comes
from the tankers on the dock. All the gas leaving the Hess dump is
exactly the same....and there's NO PLACE for each company to fill up on
additives in between the Hess dump and the local station!

So, knowing this, the gas at Mobil ISN'T any different than the gas at
Raceway because they came to town in the same nasty tanker floating on
top of a film of seawater ballast left over from the last trip.

Drop by, I'll get you aboard to peer into that tanker's tank. It's
nasty!

GAS is a commodity traded on the open market many times before it ends
up in your tank....from the lowest bidder through the jobber network.

It's not CHEVRON TECHRON. They don't sell that at the commodity
exchange. They sell GAS. I'm not even sure they sell different grades
any more! I don't see high test listed differently from GASoline.

Ok. You've made your points. I've made mine. It really doesn't matter
when the price is all within a few cents of each other.

BTW .... you are wrong.

And he says:

"Each company has its own additive and adds it to the base gasoline. So
while the base gasoline may be the same, the additive is different, and
hence the brand of gasoline you use is different because of the additive,
not the base gasoline."

Ok, so all I'm asking is WHERE do they take the Hess gas in the tractor
trailer to ADD in the TECHRON between the Hess oil dump in N Charleston, SC
and the TECHRON station on Ashley Phosphate Rd about 6 miles away? The
DRIVER doesn't have tanks of "additives" for 5000 gallons of regular.

The answer is quite simple....he doesn't. It's all BULL****...

.....I asked them! I asked the transport contractor driver filling up the
tanks with TEXACO PLUS at Ashley Marina. I watched him dump gas into the
underground tanks in the parking lot. He told me he gets it from Hess,
like everyone else, and delivers some here (TEXACO AT MARINA) and some
someplace else like Kangaroo across the bridge. When the truck is empty,
he goes back to the dump for another load. Hell, he showed me all the gas
tickets he delivered THAT DAY....tens of thousands of gallons...LOAD AFTER
LOAD!!

BULL****....ALL BULL****.

.......Just like AMSOIL!

Wouldn't be a big trick for the Hess depot to have additive dispensers
for the companies it's serving. Not saying they do. But if I cared
that much about it, I would find out. If not, you're right.
