good one

ok so I pay $2.20 right now for fuel (welcome to Nantucket)

I drive a P/U with a 30 gal tank. I go through 1.5-2 taks a week during fishing season. raise the price of fuel .25 or .50 c and that equates to $15-30 more per week in fuel costs. over the course of a normal fishing season that is $450 -900.

and we are crying about a beach pass going up $50 ?

it's all good. maybe I will start keeping 4-5 fish a week and stocking for the winter. keep my food cost down and rationalize the effort.

real happy i am not running boat........

good one weewee (give some lessons to striprman)
