Gas on the Rise, Again

I see gas took another 10 cent jump yesterday afternoon brining the price per gallon to $3.49. Diesel quickly followed suite and raised to $4.15 a gallon, a modest 4 cent jump compared to gas. I recently purchased an old Ford diesel pickup to replace my Chevy Duramax which I sold a few months ago. […]

It’s that time of year again

We are starting on the landscaping around the yard this week. Hopefully the weather will be nice as there are 2 semi loads of gravel being delivered on Friday for the new parking pad for the camper that I have to have the border ready for prior to delivery.

I’ve been playing around with twitter over the last week and have to say that it is quite interesting, although it really seems to be a lot of disjointed conversations happening at once.

I’m back!

Sorry for the quietness around here lately… I had to take a few days off to move, but now we are getting all settled in at the new place and things are starting to return to normal. BTW Brett Favre through in the towel this morning… Nothing like quitting a 17 year career after throwing […]

Looks like the ticket was turned in, but the winners chose to remain anonymous. A Bismarck man and woman stepped up to the counter at the North Dakota Lottery office on Friday to claim their Powerball prize. Finally. It had been nearly a month since they’d purchased the ticket at a local gas station.After taxes, […]

Giving Credit Where Credit is Due…

Sometimes with the amount of volume of “stuff” that crosses my desk I forget where I seen something when I post it and forget to give props back to the original author, or in this case the guy that showed me the content… At any rate, my friend Rob over at Stuffleufagus was the one […]
