Back then there was no such thing as Self Serve....An attendant would pump the gas, wash the windows, check oil and tires. That's why they called it a SERVICE STATION.

I worked at the last full-service station in town, during college. An older crowd...they'd come through, get $5 of gas and want the full-service-check oil/tires, clean windows, and of course sweep out the floor-boards.

Not even interested in living that long

You say that now. Wait till you’re 98 and still getting it

You say that now. Wait till you’re 98 and still getting it

Naw if I get to 70 it'll be to far.
But I'm not gonna do anything to accelerate it.

There’s a porch?

Getting what?

 

[SubGirl]

Agree but indoor growing has to be done right. I have watched dozens try and fail at indoor.

Yeah, all cause of that no 48 hours of darkness thing

 

[SubGirl]

That inspired me and I couldnt contain my self
and brought this forth

Beneath the neon, where questions glow,
Dogzster sits, a sage in the know.
"Guru," they ask, "this vaping craze,
Is it wisdom or just a smoky haze?"
With a paw to chin and a thoughtful wag,
Dogzster speaks, no need to brag:
"Balance is key, and health your guide;
In clouds of trends, let caution reside."
A knowing bark, then silence anew,
Dogzster, the wise, has spoken true

I stand in awe

Wow, just wow

Did you know that Doobz enjoys taking naps?

Getting what?

Getting anything at that age.

I know I’m not the only one here that remembers those numbers. The lowest I can remember is $.34 a gallon and that was in the 50s I believe…

I can remember in in the $0.20's day to day, growing up in a Kerr McGee refinery town.

In Kansas growing up it got below 20 cents a gal several times....17.9 is the lowest I can remember.

I've seen it lower than that in a gas war. Hard for other brands to compete with the Kerr McGee Deep Rock station price wise, when they were across the street from the refinery.

Getting anything at that age.

Getting anything is less than a problem than what to do with it.

I remember paying .15 a gallon during the price wars. Remember that?

 

[dogzter]

Wow, just wow

That's because you're an old fart

But it’s usually ice cream by then and we can still figure it out…

Dog I went to the pork store today. Got one of those beef briskets never have seen one except cooked. Looked like it needed a LOT of trimming up. It was giant but I put it in my cart anyway. They said whole brisket for 6.99/lb. Then I rolled a bit farther and saw these which appeared to be the same thing only already trimmed up (a bit more per pound tho but worth it to me) so I traded the one in my cart for it. I’m gonna try to smoke it on my gas grill like we talked about low and slow. The lady working there told me that this was a good rub for it.
I hope I don’t screw it up. I never made one so any additional tips would be helpful. I need to get some wood chips, what kind do I get?

I remember $0.28 and they pumped for you, cleaned the windshield and checked the oil.
