Ethanol grade took another hit during the evening hours. Eastern Iowa on the river $1.15 gal.

$1.18 for ethanol grade 87. Midgrade 89 is $1.60. I needed some kerosene for my 120 year old lamps that I use on my patio during the summer months. $4.61 a gal.

Down a penny from yesterday. $1.27

Truer words were never spoken. Now, if only the politicians would own up to their failures instead of blaming it on everyone else that came before them.

I still have a lot of Sony 150 tape on 10" & 7" reels. The 700 series decks were factory set for this tape in the 70's when this series came on the market. What's remarkable about this tape is that is still in good condition. I haven't recorded on one of these reels in years but they play back...

This is a nice way to spend some time for us shut-ins. I must say, I never met a R2R I didn't enjoy. I've owned Teac's, Akai's, one Revox, a bunch of Pioneer's (still have one 707) and of course, my collection of Sony's. Most of the decks were set up for XL1. I had a Pioneer 1011L that ran XL1...

$1.37 this morning. It doesn't look like the oil futures are favorable for the producers.

$1.37 this morning in eastern Iowa.

The low is now $1.45 and the high is the three Shell stations holding at $1.56.

We're seeing a little up-tick in pricing over the weekend. Prices are between 1.64 and 1.68. Seeing a price increase on the weekends is common since people are out shopping on the weekend and filling up a head of the upcoming work week. Late Friday afternoon prices at some stations were at $1.61.

Gas is down to $1.64 on my end of town today.

$1.67 is the low on the SW edge of town in the shopping district. On the north side, a couple of stations are holding firm at $1.78.

Prices have risen a few cents in the past two days. Saturday afternoon the low was $1.71 a gal. Today low is $1.74, with a high of $1.78. BP and Shell stations always seem to hold their prices a little above the convivence stores, Kwik Star and Casey's.

Gas down to $1.71 yesterday afternoon. Trump says this is a good thing for the consumer. He also said, he was ordering the government to top off the reserve supply tanks. But he didn't offer any solution or compassion for the refineries or the guys in the field still drilling. A news article...

Thanks Nando, I hope its just a minor problem. I'm going to contact Sam and see if he can help me out. I'm going to Chicago in June or July, that way I can drop it off to him. I don't want to have to ship it to somebody. I'm also going to contact PS, and see if he has any thoughts regarding the...

Some times a person just can't win. A couple of days ago the SX-1080 developed a problem in the right channel. At first I thought it might be a cable, so yesterday I went through everything to possibly pinpoint the problem. I started with the speaker cables since there was static on the right...

I noticed Scorp wasn't around anymore. Macman was another one that's missing in action. I still read some of the post from the members (th's) but I rarely comment over there. In fact its probably been six months since my last post. I still have an interest in Pioneer gear so those are always of...

I've often wonder what happened to Slim and at least another dozen of the old timers that fell off the radar over at TH's. One of the members I had some behind the scenes was The Reeler. Not only did he have a great collection of gear but he was a great photographer. In fact I have a couple of...

Jim, This is the info from the service invoice; all parts and labor. This is direct from the invoice. Service Performed: Full inspection. Repaired bent tuning flywheel shaft. Replaced all electrolytic capacitors (except main filter capacitors) on all boards with high-frequency low ESR, high...
