2 Cent Drop

The price of gasoline on Saturday was 2.31 9/10 per gallon, which is a 2 cent drop in the last 10 days. Here's hoping it drops more, though I have my doubts.

Also, I would like to wish everyone a happy and wonderful New Year in 2007!! May all your resolutions come true.

Christmas Feast

This delicious spiral ham was part of a wonderful holiday meal a few of us enjoyed at Murphy's on Christmas night. There was also turkey breast from the rotisserie, sweet potatoes, rice, veggies, stuffing and gravy. Great job Murph!!

My brother Jon was there, along with Doc, Chris (Murph's nephew), Josh (Murph's son) and one of his buddies. Family, friends, football and food, a very good Christmas!

Two More Increases

The price of gas today is 2.33 9/10. It was 2.29 9/10 last night and has gone up 10 cents per gallon in the last 8 days (4 cents in 1 day). Gas cost 2.09 9/10 on election day. That makes a 24 cent increase in the last 6 weeks and 2 days.

Happy Birthday Jon

Today is my brother Jon's 52nd birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! The picture was taken on 12/8 at our buddy Murphy's place.

Jon is back to work recently after neck surgery and got more good news from the doctor today. His restrictions on lifting, etc. are geting less and less. Now that is a good birthday present.

Gas Price Update

Here's the update for today, no change ($2.23 9/10).

Happy Birthday Ed & Jane

Last night we had a barbeque at Sean’s to celebrate Ed and Jane’s 50th birthday. Yes, they were born on the same day in the same year. And they are husband and wife, pretty cool. They’re good people and good friends. The cake looks tasty, doesn’t it?

Manny did the grilling, nothing like a December cookout. It was actually quite pleasant weather-wise and the company was fabulous, so were the burgers! BTW: Happy 12/12 to Jal and the MD gang!!

My Plan May Be Working

Here's my first post with a picture from the new camera. I'm doing laundry!! Exciting Friday evening, huh? This may work, I was actually looking forward to posting this. Not so sure the blog is any less boring yet, but I'll work on it.

There may be some fun activities this weekend that will hopefully produce a decent picture or two. Stay tuned.

Do Blogs Get Boring?

Only if it's mine. I recently realized that all I ever post lately is the price of gasoline. Quick and easy to do. I like the idea of blogging, even though I can't get used to the name "blogging". But I am an IT guy and have grown weary of using my computer at home. I spend all day fixing, setting up, installing and generally being around computers. Right now in my work area there are 9 PC's/laptops I'm working on. Deployed a couple others and worked on a few more today. It never ends! I actually do like the work. Some of it is quite mundane, but there are new challenges each day.

So.... I've come up with a possible solution. Got myself a new small profile digital camera. I have one I like already, but it's kind of big. The new one can be taken everywhere. I love taking pictures. Used to develop my own film back in the day. We had a darkroom and did the film and print work. Even rolled our own film (nod to Lewis Spencer in NY who taught me all). Hope to get inspired to blog more with the help of the pictures yet to be taken. My fellow blogger Jal does a great job with all her pictures, though I'll never write as well as she does. Anyway, keep checking back and we'll see what happens. And by the way, gas was still 2.23 9/10 today!!

Upward

Today at the Wawa, gas was 2.23 9/10. Yet another 4 cents. Anyone else get the feeling there are a lot more increases coming?

Friday - 2.19 9/10

This past Friday the gas price was 2.19 9/10, up 4 more cents per gallon.
