Friday, October 1, 2010 . . .

Had a close call this morning.  Gas prices have been down to $2.55 the last few days.  Crude was flirting with $80 per barrel yesterday, so I knew gas would be going up . . . So did I do anything about it ??? Like get in my truck and fill up yesterday??   Well, Noooooooo . . . This morning gas was up to $2.65 everywhere but Circle K.  Circle K saved me 70 cents by holding their price at $2.55 till I got there to fill up this AM.  I could say that I'm living on the edge is providing some much needed excitement, but I won't.

These garage sales are becoming the focal point of my week lately . . . that isn't good.  But I did come up with some good buys yesterday and today . . . two little league bats for a buck each--got 10 aluminum bats stockpiled for next spring . . . a Wagner aluminum round roaster for a buck . . . a 4 qt. pyrex mixing bowl in the green new dot pattern for only a quarter. I've only come across the new dot pattern once before and was out bid big time.  I also found a old aluminum 8 cup percolator coffee maker out of a "free box."  Now I gotta get motivated and start listing.  Haven't listed anything new for a long time.  

Now is the time to plant your spring bloomin bulbs!  The almanac recommends planting bulbs during the 'dark' of the moon which is now . . . so if ya have 'em, get busy planting them in the next couple days.
