Spruced up front yard

I woke up early ( 9:30 a.m.) and decided to cut the grass and weeds growing in the front yard. Had to use my garden shears first so it would not be too much for my little electric weed eater.  It has been a long time since I have used it.  Did a lot of raking as I never got around to picking up the fall leaves after I got sick this past December and earlier this year.

It was hot, we reached 101 today.  Last night we were under tornado and severe thunder storm warnings that never materialized.  Uvalde, Texas 70 miles east of us got a tornado, hail and thunderstorms...we only got lighting :(

The news mentioned that gas prices were on the rise due to the events in Iraq, glad I filled up yesterday.

Regular gasoline was going for $3.349 a gallon at our local HEB.

Went ahead and reloaded my gift card so I could take advantage of the .11 cents per gallon discount they are currently offering.  Ended up paying $3.239 per gallon.

After gassing up, I was supposed to get us something to eat but I had a CRS moment and did not remember until I pulled into our gate...so we ended up eating sandwiches, lol!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Darn gas prices on the rise :-(

Last time I ventured out was last Wednesday, November 13th and only because I needed to buy Walter's pellets.  I was overdue for a trip into town and today was the day.  The first thing I noticed as I passed HEB was that the price of gasoline had gone up.  Last week it was going for $2.91 at this location.

The one thing I can not complain about, is the gas mileage I get from the Toyota.  Last time I filled it up was in Alpine on my way home from the cook-off.  I still had half a tank left.

Price at the local Exxon...

As much as I hate to have to buy gasoline cards to get a discount at the pump I had no choice today because the new Stripes had the best price in town...if you used their card that is.

$2.88 if you used their card

$2.91 if you didn't

My darn foot is still sore from the run in with the cacti...so I did not get to complete all my errands...maybe tomorrow?

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Gas prices on the way up :-(

Early morning run to HEB to beat the heat...lol, how ironic...if you follow basketball you would understand what I am talking about!

Noticed the price of gas has begun its summer climb.  Dad's old car was the vehicle that needed the gas but I could not start it this morning and ended up flooding it!   Not wanting to take a chance on gas going up even more tomorrow used the HEB card I had purchased previously in order to save .12 cents per gallon and filled up the Toyota instead.

Ended up paying 3.35 less .12 cents = $3.23 a gallon

If you have ever read my blogger profile you know I am a diehard San Antonio Spurs fans.  I am highly pissed off about Game 6 of the NBA Finals.  We had it in the bag but could not step up to the plate. Questionable coaching decisions, a player way past his prime sub par performance and non calls by referee's just makes me want to barf!!!

Now it all comes down to a game 7 and I hope the players have it in them to pull it off and put this game behind them.  If you don't see me posting for a while...it will be because I am sulking!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams....because I am going to be having Game 6 nightmares...grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
