High gas bill arn't anything new.
Back in the 60's we used one of my pals boats to hone our waterskiing skills. And possibly our social skills.
We skied that old two stroke 55 from sunrise to sunset. (Keep'en an eye out for NHMP). Yup, just cutting a wake all day for the month of July. Low on fuel? No Prob.....Just pull up to Trexlers fill E'r up, a couple of pints of oil and head on out.
Yes Problem...On the first week of August the owner of said boat received an invoice from the marina. Yessireeebob. In 1969 we managed to work up a $100 gas bill!!!!
For the next week the three of us were, as usual, up at the crack of dawn but we passed up the Marvin Gardens combos, the Northland slalom and the wrap around the waste ski belt and picked up our paint pots and painted the cottage.
We did manage to slip in an evening ski (Keep'en an eye out for the NHMP, of course).
