Still - no gas at $4.00+

So far so good - STILL have not purchased gas at >3.99 per gallon.    I have an APP for my iPhone called GasBuddy which tells me all the gas prices in the area.  There is a Cenex in Sun Prairie that is still at 3.999.  Cheapest in Madison is 4.05 on Park Street.  
-------------------------------------

Had golf league last night and I was having the round of my life up to the par 5 4th hole.   I was driving the ball long and straight all night, straight down the middle normally in the 230 range but you know . . . . 4 shots cost me 8 strokes!   MAN that is so sad.  When I hit a bad shot it was REALLY bad. 

After the wheels fell off on 4,5 & 6 I got it back together for 7 and 8 and then feeling ultra confidant I step up to the final 9th hole.  As I said I was gold off the tee and I took a mighty and confidant swing and the ball hits the toe of the club perfectly and zooms at a 45 degree angle and lands under a pine tree. 

I take a drop and with even greater confidence I take out my new used 4 wood which I have been swinging with authority and smash the ball which never got more then 2 inches off the ground. But my luck was still with me as it stopped 120 yards short of my target but in the middle of the fairway!

As I near the ball I tell myself "You got this Rod, easy 130 to the green".  I then proceed to chunk the ball a good 50 yards.

Not a problem, this is an opportunity as I am in perfect distance for my  pitch and run ( I use this shot when I start to lack confidence that I can actually hit the ball).  The ball pitches and runs past the hole to the right giving me a tricky downhill side roll and I two putt it for something like an 8.

Then to top off the evening the course no longer has Emils Pizza but now makes their own pizza which totally sucked and now my back hurts!

Bin Laden - who cares if we don't SEE his dead and lifeless body!   Anybody that thinks he is not dead will not believe it's actually no matter what they show!  Move on.

HEY - we're having a garage sale Friday and Saturday - anybody in need of a single stage snow blower for $50 we got one.   Seriously - it has sat for over a year with the same gas in it (I have a new BIG ASS snow blower) and for giggles I did a quick pull and ZOOM!!!!!!!   

WOW - in 3 years it has ALWAYS started my the 2nd pull but this was amazing.   Jenny is selling a broken digital camera for $1  It's a deal!  got a REAL (push) lawn mower  for $15 and I'm thinking of putting all my grass clippings in a bag and selling it for $2 (mulch).   So come on down to Vista Circle Columbus.

It's all I got at the moment!  Cheers!
