Why on God’s green earth is ethanol free fuel not readily available in several octanes by pump? That’s not freedom! $20 per gallon??
Because regulations/laws, gotta "help" the farmers man.
Yeah, free the water 😆.
With some sips too! Happy Independence Day bros! 🇺🇸

I figured you'd recognize my flag 😀.
Just put fresh batteries in all the optics. It's a good habit to do it annually whether they need them or not, and the 4th seems to be a day I remember to.
 
Happy 4th everyone.
Don't forget to wave your flags around today 😉.

Pouring rain again today, but here is a pic from the Flag Day.

The cast iron was good to me today.
Used to work on a lot of carburetors.
Now I eat a lot of carbs.l

That is the Libtard way, get used to it.

I haven't been on here in a few days. Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July.

I have been busy working in my garage installing new oilite bushings in the carriage rollers on my stump grinder. Those were lots of fun. The rollers are 4" long. They were made from bar stock and never trued up. I had to true up the bores before turning the od's. Then I bored out the old bushings, turned down the new oversize bushings, pressed them in place and bored them out to size. Now I am working on drilling 3/16" grease holes in the new grade 8 bolts to a depth of 2 1/2".

Yesterday was mow the fields and knock down a section of field that I haven't been able to mow since the Fall of 2022. It has been way too wet even for my JD mower to use. While I was doing this I had a nice big doe watching me for at least 30 minutes. I didn't see a fawn with her.

3 bucks would be "cheap" for me, since regular 87 has been running around 3.50. I fueled Wednesday knowing it would go up and gotnit for 3.32.
My dad gets mperks at Meijer we save a dollar per gallon. Usually when it gets under 4$ we will use the mperks to get it for a dollar less

Do your buy like 10gal at a time, I thought the mperks you had a choice of up to 10gal(more if you choose that benefit) at the discounted price.
I typically get mine at a station near the expressway that has a separate tank/pump for it, 90 oct. If there isn't a separate pump then you're still getting ethanol in your fuel.

Found me another load of wood. Separated the splitter stuff from the little stuff before loading this time. That made unloading it all way faster !! I also built two yellow stake pocket wood holder backer deals and I bet we loaded the trailer with easily twice as much wood. Now I just wish it’d all be like the stuff on the truck 😏
