    Albeit this administration has waged a total war on energy, after Covid, all the companies involved in energy have become greedy. Before I even get to price any fuel to customers, its gone up nearly $1.00. Then stations have been marking it up way more than they did a few years ago. In some cases stations will add .30 cents more.

    Still at it 4 in. of bees in the canister on for 30 mins then off for an hour when home. It's taking g longer for them to return so not as many out there and way fewer make it out.
    Should have most by tomorrow..It may force the queen to leave early.

    Sitting in the hotel restaurant this morning and there is a woman with 2 kids having breakfast. The woman is taking all kinds of pictures of herself and the way she is talking to her kids you can tell she sees herself as an influencer. She is wearing jeans where half the pant leg is a hole, just screams high maintenance pain in the azz. While she is busy posting and taking pictures her young son is under the table eating pieces of pancake off the floor. Those kids have zero chance.

    Daughters travel soccer team has gone to hell to start this season. A lot of money and travel, only to take A whippings. Starting goalie out til mid Oct with broken elbow. Staring center back out for season with torn meniscus. Starting center forward out until mid October with stress fractures. Nightmare season.

    Got a ticket for speeding in a construction zone on the way from the airport. My neighbor 4 doors down works for MN DOT forwarded and email declaring construction was done and contractor needs to remove barrels, no lane restrictions. County attorney does not want to negotiate I will go to court.

    We have that here in St Louis. Leave work lane signs up for weeks after work is done. Annoying. Hell I guess an agency can just put up whatever sign they want. "Gray wolf endangered area no chewing bubblegum"...in Florida.

    Some of the places I've hunted have left up "no hunting " signs years after they've expanded the hunting area. They are not enforceable....

    I am smart enough to shut up will video the route on the way to work in the AM. I will pay for going 79 in a 70 but not construction zone, I have documentation from MN DOT declaring construction done.

    The spirit vs the letter of the law. County attorney needs to think about that before continuing on being a jerk.

    SOB, last week I had a tooth ache babied it, gargled brushed like crazy. Finally today I could not take it so I went and got some tooth ache spray. I am putting the stuff and going where it hurts. You know that bone that is inside the bottom of your mouth, right where that heads down my throat I feel like there is a cluster of little tiny teeth coming out of that bone and rubbing on my tongue, hurts like hell to swallow. Luckily the dentist showed mercy and got me in Wednesday morning.

    I want to take a saws all to my lower jaw and remove it, that may be less pain. This hurts more than 2 broken ribs with post covid cough.

    That's a rough deal. Visit your nearest CBD shop. After I broke my ankle and required surgery to fix, I did a quick experiment of painkillers. The weed made the pain go away(mostly), and the prescribed narcotics made me forget I had a foot... not to mention the tummy troubles.

    I feel your pain Sota.
    Have battled a few bad teeth myself.
    Can't eat/ sleep.

    Sometimes I think it would just be best as a youngster to just get em all pulled, get fake ones and never have to worry about it again.

    "Dear Automotive Builders".

    I do not want my lights to come on unless I want them to.
    Yep, I can hear the seat belt chime. No need to remind me every fricken minute.
