...The gvt credits your EBT or FI debit card and you're good to go.

Yeah, and they make it look like a regular credit/debit card so you don't have to feel ashamed. Isn't that special?

That’s one reason I take my 6 gallon boat out only once or twice a season. And that’s with draining the last quart or so out of the two-stroke bikes and recycling it in the outboard. But I do make the most of the boat trip or two and really enjoy them. Many people just shut the motor off and float down the Columbia here after the trip upstream. I can always judge summer gas prices by seeing how many boats are drifting. Problem with boats is there’s really no way to economize much other than turning off the ignition or idling. Once that hull drops off plane you’re not saving any gas. Premium non-ethanol 4.29 here or was yesterday.

I’ve never had a fancy enough boat to call it a “cockpit”. But I do have a nice bronze prop.

Vandalizing private property with “bumper sticker stock” stickers for “freedom”.

What a concept! What part of “bumper sticker stock” implies in any way that these stickers are easily, and completely removable, like a Post-It? Bumper sticker stock implies semi-to-completely permanent.

DNC convention? Really? That’s a far leap from the topic we were on.

Bumper sticker stock is designed specifically to NOT mar the surface of your Precious Prius.

And yes, I personally tested it to verify that it peels off completely and cleanly before I first used it.

DNC convention ‘cuz I noticed it was in your home state, and since you responded so favorably to criticism of The Won, I naturally assumed...

1) I drive a Yukon XL

2) Bumper sticker stock implies permanance. That’s why you still see Dole/Kemp stickers on rusted bumpers. Window clings (static cling “stickers”) imply easy on, easy off. That’s why you don’t see any Michael Jackson memorial clings on anyone’s back window. Well, one reason why, anyway.

3) I live in Iowa. Thanks for reminding me to change my flag.

4) If you believe my criticizing your decision to possibly deface private property stretches so far as to support “the none (typo intentional)” then wow, I can’t help you.

2a) Magnets! Don’t forget the easy removal of magnets on metal. Unless you never wash your vehicle and finally remove your kid’s school magnet and find a dirty ring that doesn’t come off. But, I’ve said too much.

I just moved in to a lake home. I have more friends than I know what to do with all of the sudden. “You have a boat? lets go fishing! lets go skiing! lets go tubing!!”

So, it was fun the first weekend.. the second was alright..

This weekend when they showed up I said “boats down there, grab the tank, gas station is 1 mile that way, go to the unleaded pump that is 4.25 a gallon.”

They all changed their minds ;)

I have a small fleet of boats (I go to auctions and can’t say no to a 250 dollar complete boat) the best of the bunch has a 4 stroke EFI engine. It’s the best on gas but you can still watch the level go down in the tank when your using it hard.

Nice wheels!

You see Dole/Kemp stickers because they don’t want you to ever forget they didn’t vote for Clinton.

Quad cities?

An easily removed sticker that the station owners leave on and even clean is just about the lowest possible level of “vandalism”. I’d die to preserve my children’s freedom, what would you do? Anything? Anything at all?

Magnets don’t stick to most pumps, they are aluminum and plastic. I have an outline of a magnetic support the troops ribbon permanently outlined on my rear hatch...
