Here's a fact Bud,.... the fuel is better in Canada. I use Chevron in the bike. In the car and truck I put whatever is cheap.....cheapest. Here on the "wet coast" reg. is now $1.41 ltr. Prem. is a tad over $1.60 ltr..
Hey ...if you're up near Langley,/Vancouver be sure to give me a call.

Funny thing about "speaking English" and not meant to offend any of you in the US........ I'm surprised you guys south of the border call what you speak, English, and not "American" and take the credit for the most used language on the planet. I believe "English" is used by every country when flying Internationally. Al/"a340driver" can maybe verify that. Why would that be?

I found this funny......
I was on a cruise ship recently and when we were lined up to enter the dinning room for dinner, the lady and gentleman ahead of us was asked if she wanted an "Engllish" menu. Her response?........
"Oh no ! American please"....she might have been from the U.S. of A.. Ya think??

Of course we take credit for it.

Ricky, Commercial aviation needs a universal language. Can you imagine the confusion and danger if air crews and air traffic control tried to converse in the mother tongue of the country they were landing in? It is much easier and less likely to cause confusion if all involved learn a second universal language than multiple languages, just happens that English is the most common.

Actually, I wanted to bring the Nomad but she would have none of it. She's meaner than I am so we took her car.

I'm telling you it works great!! You keep up the good work. Hopefully we can convince know it all politicians to get the hell out of the gasoline business in the US.

TC, you asked me somewhere ( I found it on my cell phone ) if my name is missing from the national rally by mistake. It is not. Right now I do not plan to attend.

Just wondering Bud.
Would have liked to shoot the breeze with you in person again.
Maybe down the road

Yes Sir it does.
We are not disarmed yet. Still have all my guns.
Although Cuomo and Bloomberg are doing their best to get them.
At this point I'm not sure how involved the NRA is in fighting for my rights either.
