Good morning all....

7:16 am

mael

good morning

7:22 am

crosshair

Good morning, Babblers. :)

7:27 am

mael

hey crossy

7:29 am

crosshair

How is mael this fine spring morning?

7:30 am

mael

great! it's wet and cool here but tis the season

7:30 am

mael

and I'm in the grid so I feel super sparkly

7:30 am

crosshair

Ugh, just checked gas prices in town. Sitting at $1.60 a litre!! Ouch.

7:31 am

crosshair

When you are in the grid, you get an all day pass on the oenalty box. :)

7:31 am

crosshair

Penalty.

7:35 am

mael

excellent! I should put that to good use haha

7:36 am

crosshair

Oh, multiply that litre price by 4.54 to get the old Canadian gallon, and you are talking northnof $6/gallon!! I put $25 in the Jeep yesterday and got a quarter of a tank. :(

7:36 am

hokie carla

I paid $4.75/gal the other day

7:38 am

crosshair

Now I know why I avoid converting the measurements these days. :(

7:42 am

hokie carla

yeah, I have no idea how that compares but it was way higher than usual for me.

7:43 am

hokie carla

oh, just saw a post where you did do that

7:44 am

crosshair

Gets confusing sometimes. The American gallon is smaller at 3.78 litres.

7:52 am

crosshair

Reminds of a particular customer I had in the mid 1990's at my gas station. Keep in mind we are about a two hour drive north of the border. I am sitting there as this bright pink B.M.W comes roaring in, then proceeds to drive very slowly past each of our pumps one at a time. Then the driver pulls up to the building, rolls down the window and says "Hey, boy, where are the pumps that sell in gallons?" I look at the driver for a moment, point to the south, and say "About a two hour drive that way." She look at me like I was crazy, then said, and I kid you not, she said "What a backwards little country you are!" She then peeled off in a cloud of dust. Converting measurements always reminds me of her to this day.

8:00 am

crosshair

That is not to say that I do not use any imperial measurements. Canada switched to metric in the mid-seventies so both units of measurement roll around in my mind at times. It will be the generation that follows that will need only the one., but for me, there are still serveral things that must be in imperial measure like pints of beer, and measuring a freshly caught game fish in inches/feet.

8:04 am

mael

I feel very fortunate that i've had an electric car and solar panels for years now

I was very productive yesterday. Laundry and grocery shopping. Had a homecooked meal.

8:36 am

BzznBea

There is a front moving though. My left ankle is very tender. The first night in a hotel, I stepped into the shower and fell. Broke a couple toes on my right foot. Walking is a bit problematic at this time.

8:36 am

hokie carla

8:37 am

rururocks

9:06 am

crosshair

If you are still here, mael, which electric vehicle did you buy?

9:10 am

crosshair

It was always the idea of having to replace a $10,000.00 EV battery down the road that gave us pause when buying an EV but now that Trumps war has gasoline selling here at over $160/litre, $10k is only 100 fill ups for my Jeep. :/

9:30 am

mael

just came back for a sec, I have an audi etron, I'm on my second one and I love it

9:31 am

wingding

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

9:36 am

wingding

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

$4.99 here

9:40 am

montreal13

i saw it yesterday at $1,90 a litre @ 3,78 litres to a US gallon comes to over $7 a us gallon - but that is in canadian dollars

9:46 am

montreal13

1st pass done - bbl for last 18 - have a great day all - "poof"

9:46 am

rururocks

9:47 am

montreal13

9:48 am

montreal13

9:51 am

marksdolly

tada! any clues needed?

9:52 am

marksdolly

have a good day all!

9:58 am

crosshair

Correction for those who need it: $1.60/litre. :)

10:02 am

crosshair

Costing me just about $110 to fill the tank on my Jeep now. :(

10:19 am

wingding

to help w/ mileage, install new air filter and get rid of extra weight in car, keep tires inflated to 32lb and ease into the pedal, don't mash it ... esso and sunoco plus+ are the best for mileage

10:23 am

crosshair

I prefer Sunoco (Suncor) fuel as well.

10:24 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:24 am

wingding

my commute to work was a full tank ... did it for 6 1/2 yrs ... the cheap gas is cheap for a reason, no additives that extend mileage

10:25 am

crosshair

Sadly, my Jeep is basically a brick on wheels. Best I can get is 15Mpg, going downill, with a tailwind. :/

10:25 am

crosshair

Howdy, mool. :)

10:25 am

moolingwa

hey crossy, happy Thursday

10:26 am

wingding

if you've a roof rack you do not use, remove it ... things that catch wind will decrease mpg

10:26 am

crosshair

On the bright side it is paid off now. :)

10:27 am

wingding

paid off is a bene

10:37 am

Soodle

I can confirm. Gas, or petrol as we call it here, is now over €2.35 a litre.

mmajor improvement in the weather conditions here : rain instead of snow !

4:25 pm

moolingwa

oh, it's been like summer here in Colorado

4:26 pm

moolingwa

on the down side, we had a very dry and mild winter, so fires will be a problem if we don't get something soon

4:27 pm

montreal13

officially, it's springtime here but ...only astronomically ...sigh

4:27 pm

montreal13

officially, it's springtime here but ...only astronomically ...sigh

4:31 pm

moolingwa

We seemed to have skipped spring and gone straight to summer, been close to 30 C a couple of days already

4:31 pm

montreal13

wow !

4:32 pm

montreal13

we'll probably hit it in july !

4:36 pm

montreal13

found a weird ME4/5

4:36 pm

moolingwa

Actually, I just checked. We've hit 30C 4 times already

4:36 pm

moolingwa

4:36 pm

5:12 pm

hokie carla

howdy?

5:12 pm

hokie carla

still have my two S's left

5:14 pm

hokie carla

found 1!

5:14 pm

hokie carla

at this rate I can surely finish by 1am

5:17 pm

moolingwa

nice

5:17 pm

moolingwa

I still have 3 left a 5, a 6 and a 7

5:17 pm

hokie carla

S?

5:17 pm

moolingwa

R V and S

5:18 pm

moolingwa

found my s

5:18 pm

moolingwa

was a 6

5:18 pm

hokie carla

I am down to S6 and looks like a 24 based on monty's total points clue.

5:18 pm

moolingwa

yep, that's what I just found

5:18 pm

hokie carla

the V is a real word

5:18 pm

moolingwa

nice to know

5:18 pm

hokie carla

okay, I'm probably going to need a clue

5:18 pm

moolingwa

yiddish word, common in new york

5:19 pm

hokie carla

the R is not one I know but we have it here occasionally

5:19 pm

moolingwa

found the v, was misspelling it :)

5:19 pm

moolingwa

because I forgot that I could indeed use the S

5:19 pm

moolingwa

r5 remaining

5:19 pm

hokie carla

yep, it was not dead in the corner

5:20 pm

hokie carla

got the S, thanks

5:20 pm

moolingwa

fw

5:20 pm

hokie carla

I always want that to be SCH

5:20 pm

moolingwa

yeah

5:20 pm

hokie carla

wow, we finished at the same time

5:20 pm

moolingwa

that's uncommon :)

5:21 pm

moolingwa

except for you v-vague clue, unassisted today

5:21 pm

hokie carla

yeah, stating it's a real word is about as vague a clue as one could give

5:22 pm

hokie carla

I wouldn't even call it a clue.

5:22 pm

moolingwa

Well I don't want to dismiss it :)

5:22 pm

hokie carla

I invited a neighbor friend here but I don't think she's made it. We played a couple of games of boggle with friends today and she kicked my butt.

5:23 pm

moolingwa

ooh

5:23 pm

hokie carla

I'm much better at taking 24 hours to look at one grid

5:23 pm

moolingwa

live boggle and the feeling of the time pressure makes it a bit different than online

5:23 pm

hokie carla

yep

5:23 pm

hokie carla

I should practice more at serpentine

5:23 pm

moolingwa

I like the speed aspect myself of course

5:24 pm

moolingwa

but there are players who are way better than me

5:24 pm

hokie carla

yes, I'm sure you would

5:24 pm

moolingwa

faster typists too :)

5:25 pm

moolingwa

I can probably get up around 120wpm, but I wouldn't be able to sustain it

5:25 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I think I'm faster typing at serpentine than swiping on ipad in boggle with friends

5:25 pm

moolingwa

swiping is so slow for me

5:25 pm

hokie carla

but I do get like dyslexic when I'm typing fast and will look and have letters all mixed up.

5:26 pm

moolingwa

oh, interesting

5:28 pm

hokie carla

so I kinda have to keep my eyes on the box in serpentine instead of just blindly typing while I look for words.

5:29 pm

moolingwa

ah, yeah I still have a habit of trying to find the words instead of just typing them

5:31 pm

hokie carla

think I will play a few rounds right now. I can't believe the time either. Thought it was like 2 hours earlier.

5:33 pm

hokie carla

good day, sir

5:34 pm

moolingwa

ciao

5:39 pm

hokie carla

I said good day, sir! (I don't why, but that makes me laugh)
