Gas hasn't move much here for the last couple of weeks. Prices are holding around $3.08 to $3.19. Average in Iowa is $3.20 give or take depending on what day of the week it is. It probably won't move here in town this weekend since most people fill up during the weekend. Its been cold as hell...

Nando, When innovative opens, will they have techs on site and will they do gear repair for customers?

Our ADM plant here in Clinton is damn near a mile long and they own probably another 100 acres on the south side of the tracks located on the SE part of town. They also own the river municipal dock. Paid six million to the city for the dock about 5 years ago.

Nando, I just read this. This makes my day. I'm probably 250 miles plus but it's a straight run on interstate 80 across the state. When the doors are open I'll be there even if it's just for window-shopping. Ron

Gas prices have remained steady for the last couple days. 11 of the 13 stations reporting, Murphy's is $2.84, the rest are sitting at$2.99, including the BP station. Normally they are the highest in town. I heard on the CNBC stock channel this morning, that last week was the largest demand for...

Gas is $2.84 on the low side and our local BP station is holding at $3.20. Bp is in a good place sitting at the foot of the bridge connecting Iowa with Illinois since their gas tax is 38 cents. All the futures are down this morning except natural gas is up about 3 points. Our winter weather is...

Several of the stations got below $3.00 this past weekend despite a couple of stations were hugging the $3.25 selling price. Today 4 of the stations reporting are at $2.94. Its hard to figure out where prices are really heading when the futures are up & down almost hourly.

It finally happened; all 14 stations are up over $3.00 with the majority hugging $3.0999. How high it will go is anybody's guess. Yesterday, I was watching the futures and was surprised when it was projected that home heating oil will be 46% higher this year followed by natural gas at 30% and...

Thank you to all the members for the nice birthday wishes. Who would of thought I would make this far in life. I'm still healthy and occasionally enjoy a good glass of fine Kentucky bourbon and a cigar accompanied by some mellow jazz on the old vintage R2R. Thanks again, Ron

Giving some more thought to Facebook: Facebook isn't a monopoly. There are thousands of forums on the net. Facebook is only recognized because of their size and their hold on the social communities around the world. It would be up to each country to determine what is considered detrimental to...

I don't think congress has any idea where to even start. The last thing congress wants to do is to disrupt their lines of communication with the people who supports them. This isn't the era of John Rockefeller or the other big companies that support congress through lobbyists that dump millions...

Sam, You are correct, it did cost a lot. Shipping was around $175, round trip but it was worth it. I've had the receiver for over 20 years and I only paid $35.00 & a 6 pk of Bud. It was a garage find and when I got it back from P.S. it looked like it just came out of the audio store. I don't...

Gas is still bouncing around. Last weekend, the low was $2.82. Today, the low is $2.92 and several of the branded stations are selling at $2.999. Of course one political party is blaming the president for the inflation of gas as well as the cost of groceries going up. I wonder how many of these...

Sam, I was writing about my SX1080. P.S. rebuilt this receiver in 2011. The problem is distortion in the right channel. I spoke with P.S. and he offered to repair the unit but couldn't really give me a clear problem. I changed my cables, reversed my speaker and several ideas but nothing solved...

TH's & this one are the only audio forums I belong too. I was a member on AK years ago, but was never active except for my first post. I tried to log in to AK about a year ago but apparently I was purged from the site. I didn't lose any sleep over it. I still visit both of these forums daily...
