Make that $453.22 to fill the tank of a big white Cobalt 34'er equipped with two outdrive engines.
While stopping for gas this morning at the Route 25, Meredith Irving, I walked over to take a peek at the pump as it was getting gassed up.
"Twenty is the new five," says the marina employee who was gass'n it up. It took me a couple seconds to figure out what he meant, meaning that a 20 dollar bill is now the new five......oh yeah.....
So, lets see...453.22/3.85=about 125gal.....my..my..my...and I asked the counter person if they gave any discounts for cash as I went and purchased a big five dollars gasoline for my car.
Lots to see at the gas station this morning.
Down at the last pump, a small pickup towing a trailer with two kayaks and what looked like two, gas powered, surfboards was gassing up. Never having seen these before, I says "I've never seen this before, what are they?"
Something new....a gas powered surfboard called an X-board, powered by a small engine, holds two gallons gasoline, and can go 45mph.
How about that... and, I thought the old stand-up, jet skis were a little extreme. I suppose an X-board can be used in either a prone or stand-up position just like a surfboard..so it's a new motorized type of a boat.
