I paid $4.17 last week at Costco and it is $3.88 right now.  

I did go by the motorcycle shop and pick up an oil filter and oil for the bike. It is $20 more expensive than it was back in November.

$4.699 today.... Keeps going up around here. Picked this up:


because, between the 1998 Mazda B4000, the 2004 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.3, and my 1989 Jeep Wagoneer, none of our vehicles get over 15mpg in our typical driving (lot of short trips). This gets 53 (so far, we only have about 200 miles on it, still have more than 3/4 of a tank of gas, from the first tank). 

Sold the wife's 2011 Ford Escape for a profit over what we paid for it a year ago, even account for taxes and all that.

#3.71 at CostCo yesterday.  Also doing an oil change on the bike as it is going to be 75 on Monday, and more importantly, upper '40s at night.  Riding weather, time for the 50+ MPG it gets.  Another storm middle of next week though...

2-3 Years ago it was said we would see $10 gas prices.  The belief is not only will we get there but we might see $11-12 and a vast amount of people removed from vehicle ownership already.  We posted on several forums and our blog an article about the crackdown of EPA agency to remove as much infrastructure in aftermarket vehicle tuning and procreate a "fear" of bringing any attention to oneself of having the ability or capacities of any engine management abilities.

Add in the fact that even with such abilities, the ability to profit from it without bringing attention to yourself and literally being fined out of business or shut down.

We're sold out of Jerry Cans, amazed at the measurable interest and purchases of extended fuel tanks right now.  Like on a level of unexpected sales even by projections.  And anything else related to roughing it, we need to hire someone just to adjust stock/out of stock filters alone!

All we can say is, things were already rather screwy with the previous administration, and then the new one has walked this country backwards 40 years and as we watch from many industry and economic perspectives trying to not make an exact political statement..

This circus is just getting started, We haven't seen anything yet.

Can't.. Good ole US has in many states made wood burning anything just about illegal.


The EPA has banned the production and sale of the types of stoves used by about 80 percent of those with such stoves. The regulations limit the amount of “airborne fine-particle matter” to 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The current EPA regulations allow for 15 micrograms in the same amount of air space.


  • https://www.energyjustice.net/content/epa-bans-most-wood-burning-stoves
  • https://www.epa.gov/burnwise/ordinances-and-regulations-wood-burning-appliances


There is clearly more going on over the years knowing that whats happening today was basically planned "fuel" obsolescence in the works from at least 2 decades ago all in regards and transition from "Global Warming" to a ruse for now "Climate Change".

There is no doubt in my mind or experience that Solar, Wind, even all the weird bio-fuels have a purposeful presence and need but to me are what they've always been called - Alternative fuels, not replacement fuels.  Not as of yet anyway.  Even almost everyones favorite man on a mission for everything, Elon musk has literlly Tweeted'




According to, I know, but its surprisingly accurate... NBC News, Russian crude oil and petroleum product exports to the U.S. represent 8 percent of all its imported oil and less than 2 percent of the U.S. supply, an NBC News analysis of U.S. and European oil data found.  The mass majority of oil comes from ourselves, or did, and Canada.  We know people in the Canadian Oil Industry all to well.






In 2020, the 10 largest oil producers in the world were the US (18.61 mbpd), Saudi Arabia (10.81 mbpd), Russia (10.5 mbpd), Canada (5.23 mbpd) and China (4.86 mbpd).  Dated:: Mar 10, 2022


So, someone explain why, other than purposely trying to cripple ourselves from within our own Misgoverning resources why we are dealing with what we are dealing with.  First pandemic shuts down as many small business owners as possible for as long as possible with threats of coercion, fines, being put in a cage, as well as the personal losses that accompanied many.


Then all of the taxes, on top of the taxes that were allegedly meant to "punish the evil 10% and above" which when you wipe away the dandruff dust from Sleepy Joe there, you really find out that the ones who actually offset all of that is by the middle and worse, lower income classes, not the rich and super wealthy.  Here's what most people dont understand or get.  Wealthy people are Millions if not Billions of dollars in debt.  But their debt is not only liquid debt, property, businesses, rentals, etc.. but its also debt that can be leveraged because despite being negative debt, they are assets that pay for themselves AND create write offs and or losses.  You are far better off leveraging $50M in debt, than owing absolutely NO ONE, and having $2M in the bank account.  All Currency, yes including the extension of "cash" from credit, is debt.  You cannot bring a $1 dollar to the table, borrow it for whatever reason, and pay it back with an interest factor (lets face it No one loans money without interest attached - No one), without borrowing into existence [Fed go Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr] another $1. It's not fiscally possible and certainly not how our monetary system works. 


SIDE NOTE::
This further implies that certain people financed and restructured the school curriculum's to provide "workers".  We make fun of the Flintstones, the Bird influenced whistle that ends the day of work at the rock quarry, remember? In the early industrial revolution days it also signified the start of the shifts, breaks, lunches, and days end.  Same with the school bells for class swapping, lunches - whether a single time or multiple lunch times, and the end of the day.. Its called pre-programming.  No different than training a childs behavior or a capable pet to be honest.


Now, the newest fear or part of the Plan is the Ukraine war which has morphed into the new threat of World War (III), leading into global fuel shortages, contributing to higher prices and inflation compounding the above losses and taxation, dissolving the US dollar as a world currency, seemingly destroy evidence of BIO-labs on Russia's doorstep, wheat production destroyed and manipulated of pricing as so much is made from wheat flour, food shortages worldwide along with transportation cost hikes despite claims of "reserves"..






Someone explain that if I control the monetary supply, the food supply, the supply/distribution chains, then manipulated the masses of people on a global level of "hegelian dialectic" will surely help push resistances into conforming or root them out altogether for re-learning/punishment examples.


What would I have in my possession..?   Anyone?


And I've personally left open plenty for further deeper discussion.

Well, sadly they haven't for their food yet, so I would have to say not as of yet.  Even the rats and Flies don't touch their stuff.

The times of getting cooking oil for free died like 10+ years ago.  Instead of paying people to take it away, now they charge for it.

thanks. I did that super off the cuff. I'll do a more serious "1 month update" video with better production quality. but now part of the car gets written off as business expense and I've earned a whole $.68 towards paying it off early. I would pull the cash to pay it off today, but all of my investments are at least double what the interest on the loan is.... so going to hold off paying it off right now.

None of the "green" energy push is for going "green". it's all about money and control. If they actually wanted green energy, they would invest in Nuclear. it is by far the most green, clean, reliable, safe, and efficient source of energy possible. and by killing investments in it on purpose, the government has put us at least 30 years behind where we should be, so it should be even cleaner, greener, and safer than where we currently have it. Your whole life's energy consumption waste would barely fill a teacup. and that amount is highly recyclable. 

Nobody who can do anything about it is questioning our president's involvement in Ukraine for the last two decades, nobody is questioning the bio labs in china/ukraine. Nobody is questioning the narrative that the media is shoving down our throats after years of lying to us about covid, russian collusion, etc. 

There is a new world order coming. They are no longer hiding it. they are no longer pretending. They want the vast majority of humans to die off, with two classes, the elites, and the slaves. They see themselves as a superior being to the rest of us. prepare for it to get a lot worse. 

truly a world of secret combinations.

Well.... Russia has thrown the gauntlet, To buy their gas and oil, you must do it through a Russian bank, and they are pegging the ruble to gold. sanctions are worthless, so lets see those higher gas prices. My truck hasn't moved in a week. I will never get rid of it, but it saw less use when I started working from home full time, and now it's going to see even less.

They are not just worthless. Putin is literally using them to prop up his economy. They are having the exact opposite effect they are supposed to be having.

Gas has dropped 63 cents a gallon in the past two weeks. It is now $3.53 at Costco. 

Since I had Kung Flu last fall I have not ridden my motorcycle except for a test ride in the neighborhood. My since of balance was affected by the Kung Flu so I stayed off the bike until last month when I took the neighborhood test ride. I struggled with a U turn in the street last month almost dropping the bike. I was able to do figure 8's in both directions today. I had picked up an oil change kit at the motorcycle shop last month so I took a ride to get it up to temperature so I could change the oil. My records showed I had changed the oil last July and I had 4800 miles on it. When I checked the oil level I had fresh oil on the dipstick.  I checked my Amazon records where I had purchased an oil filter when I had covid and 4 quarts of Amsoil from the dealer I use. I didn't document it in my service manual but I apparently did an oil change last fall. I have no memory of it.

Costco was $3.35 and QT was $3.33 yesterday. That is the first time QT has been less than Costco that I can remember. QT is usually 15 cents higher. The wife's car needed fuel and I needed real gas for the lawnmower. I took my truck back to get the real gas ($3.96 a gallon for 89 octane) and also topped off the truck.
