Dang, you're a bunch of old suckers.

OK, I worked at a Shell station and a couple more. I was the night shift. Six nights a week, 10 hours per night for $60.00 per week. Fill tanks, clean windshields, do lube jobs, repair flats and some occasional light mechanic work like tune ups and carbs. Not much of a social life at 19 YOA. I don't remember the gas price there but do remember 17.9 cents in Waco. Vagrants would sometimes come by and I would give them free coffee and buy them a candy bar. We kept a pistol around but never had a problem that called for using it.

A buck an hour was considerably more than I had made on farms and ranches.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
