Greg G announced on "The Five" that Tom Shillue will be on the panel tonight (Mon), dashing rumors that he had forgotten to get back on the plane when it refueled in Omaha. 😉
“Great visit with new friends”
A wonderful time with two citizens of ‘Shillueville’, @CBMichael @JoeBlueHouse and Joes lovely wife Lisa.
Our next time through we will definitely plan a longer visit!
“Ensconsed on Lake Manawa”
Near Council Bluffs IA.
We are right on the lake.
I had an audience backing in our spot.
I usually do, I’ve been backing up trailers in general for 30+ years and The Big Blue Beast for almost 9, so I’ve had a little practice.
The hardest part of our spring move to Montana is backing out of our winter quarters. Which has a curvy driveway, with lots of trees.
A ‘Loves’ truckstop campsite, SW of Boonville MO.
Why anyone would live or buy anything in a ‘Blue State’ is beyond my comprehension.
Diesel was $5.68 p/gal in Illinois, here in MO it’s $4.83 p/gal. I of course didn’t buy any fuel in Ill.
I can’t think of a single thing that folks in Illinois have (other than Chicago) that Missourians and Kentuckians don’t have, that rates an .80 p/gal fuel tax, among all the other ridiculous taxes they pay.
By the way, I don’t take pictures of the pump in order to share my fuel purchases. I use them as a ‘fuel diary’. I take the picture to get the gallons purchased, and the amount of course. I then edit the picture, and add a ‘caption’, which is the mileage.
Therefore I can quickly work out my average mileage.
I also don’t pay the amount shown, I’ve a ‘fleet’ fuel card that gets me a discount. The amount varies, usually at least .10 p/gal, sometimes as much as .40 p/gal.
