Whether you have already started or you have a few hours to go. Enjoy it my friends in one way or another you earned it.

Please share on this post the way you earned it with us.

For me waiting in one gas line and maintaining my composure was well worth the wait to be able to enjoy the weekend. Brought back memories of the 70's with odd and even days of when we could get gas.

Sorry to here you had to wait in line Plum, here in my part of Tennessee the pumps are open no lines. I had to mow the grass yesterday and was out of gas so I loaded the can and drove to the local one stop, pulled right up and pumped the can full. I only got what I needed for the mower so maybe others won't have a hard time finding gas. The stations here on the other hand are taking full advantage of the self induced shortage, prices went up $0.20 over night.

The Juice's boys never got into sports until one finally picked up golf. I used to watch local kids at the parks and easy to spot the go getters and the others because dad made them. As for me at that age i ate, drank, played, and slept with sports on my mind.

Somewhere along the line life happen and watching is a fun as playing. Besides i don't miss the raspberries.

$ 2.99 here and out of gas is our local station Ivey. I wasn't going to go scouting yesterday but heard the line was back up and running so filled up in hopes that within a week things will be normal again.

" NORMAL " Over $ 3.00 for gas is not normal though.

That was one concern I didn't have to deal with. I had commercial plates on my truck since I used it for my landscaping business that I did before and after school every day.

Plum for awhile gas was 30 cents cheaper in Md. Now it's 10 cents. No lines here or across the line. For now. Fredrick Costco n Sam's always had a line. Costco being the worse. Just a reason to raise prices. πŸ‘πŸ‘

That's a good channel. Also like Y2K and the other country channels. For mee, it's worth the cost to have Sirius so I don't have to have a list of stations for road trips. No commercials either.

Got my DL in 1973. Gas went from 0.55/gal to 0.75/gal...speed limit went from 75 to 55πŸ˜¨πŸ˜‚. 1969 there was a gas war. Dad was USAF and we were moving from Miami to Eastern Washington. Gas was 0.11/gal. WOW how things have changed.

Good post pb.

They are going to goug us every way they can.

Corporations anyway.

Greed and making up for lost revenue in 2020, even if they did get a boat load of money from the taxpayers already.

Everyone exercise your right in 2022.
