Yes, I admit that I'm starting to feel the pinch. I think I will cut back on my fishing.

I am glad I filled up a couple of days ago at $2.60 full tank and ready to go for the wekend! Will it slow me down nope! I will eat spam, cat food, or anything else but miss a night of fall fishing? No way!
Steve and I are considering car pooling now instead of bringing those two thirsty V8s all the time.......

No Lookin Back
Filled up my truck this morning, $72.00. My boat is fairly economical with a 115 HP Yammy. The only thing that gets me through the week is thinking about fishing on the weekend. Maybe 2 months left, best fishing of the season is ahead, I'm biting the bullet.
I do miss my tin boat. With the 30 HP Honda I would maybe burn 2 gallons of gas, some days only 1. It only weighed 500# so you did not even know you were towing it. Clammer bought it from me. What a visionary!
