We are in York today home of the famous medieval shambles street and the Minster.

We have had a wonderful meal.

Graham.

Recognise it well..

 

We were visiting relatives in Malton last weekend and had our usual visit to the York ( designer outlet )

 

Had the filled Yorkshire puddings for lunch right at the end of the market place although your fish looks good.

So, when you get an EV, will you be able to figure out how to plug it in?

 

 

LOL

 

You have to plug them in????????

 

Damn what is this world coming too.

 

😉

 

Besides we are finalizing plans for a motor home.

Have it down to 3 models.

Those things are huge.

I bet you could circumnavigate the US before you would ever have to fill it up.  

 

Hoping for good gas mileage and a healthy spouse for that purchase.

 

Stay safe

Tough choice , best pizza in the world is in Naples, we really enjoyed walking around there. We also spent a couple of days in Barcelona which was fantastic. I am so looking forward to sailing the Edge this week, we had a previous one canceled along with a couple of others. 

When you lived in Brooklyn did you ever eat pizza at Sorrento’s which was on Utica Ave north of Eastern Parkway ? I never did but many people told me that their pizza was the best they ever ate.

Congratulations George and Mrs.C. Have a wonderful time on the cruise.

A Jesey realtive who now lives in Florida, very produly displays that on her car. She has no choice but to pump her own gas in FL. 😁

I retired in 1999 but was very bored.I took a job that was walking distance from where I was living at the time.Two years later the company moved to NJ.The guys who drove from NYC to NJ were very happy to have their gas pumped.

A new gas tax goes into effect today.  $0.12 a gallon for gas and $0.20 for diesel.  We will see $5.00 a gallon before labor day.

 

That should almost make you feel like you’re back home in BC.😁

Just not in it’s “gas-hole”.

 

That’s a classic line we always used with a rental car as you’re pulling up to the pumps. “What side is the gas-hole” on?

That is the problem when renting cars from a manufacturer , and you are not familiar with how they do things. I was in a Toyota once that had a lever on the floor , lift to unlock the trunk, push to open gas cap.  A mystery lever with no instruction.

Lenny what does your contact at Port Authority say about Cape Liberty opening in September? Lot of speculation about Oasis starting out from there with the September 5 cruise.

Your "contact" not your crystal ball.☺️😁 Thanks.

In regards to pumping gas.

 

I made it to age 64  7months till I had to pump gas.

 

Yea, that was 3 weeks ago.

When I got my first car I lived at home and  my dad pumped my gas, and when I got married my dad would take time and when he visited me would pump the gas in my car.  

 

So it was something I never had to do till:

 

I was out and about coming home from Twinsburg in the GTO and this little light went on.

 

Not wanting to take chances I stopped at the gas station.

 

Well, the little icon on the gas pump on the dash says gas door on right.

 

So I go outside the car and the gas door on the car will not open.

So, I do what any blond would do.

Get in the car and leave and go to another gas station, did not want to look stupid.

 

So before I pull up to pump I pull out the car manual in the glove box.

OOOOHHHHH, there is a little button under the steering wheel you have to attack to open that little gas door.  I hit it, and heard a little click.

 

So I proceed outside, and the gas door does not open.  REALLY (preparing for my October live report with my favorite word).

Now I am frustrated (wanted to say P*****) but do not want to upset the censors.

 

So I now do what any women would do, I go upto the nice gentleman riding his Harley with tattoos that only a MOTHER could love and ask for help.

He kindly came over and said I had to push harder on the left of the little door to pop it.

He did, it worked I thanked MOTHER , never got to exchange names, (his backseat driver looked like they were a team, not going there).

 

So I program the pump, and put the nozzle in and just as I am ready to pump gas MOTHER comes back and says that is Premium you are putting in the tank.  He continues to say those LS2's like only the good stuff.

So now I do not know how to change the reading  on the pump.

So I go inside the store, when the man at the counter gets done looking at  me like I just arrived from another planet he goes, "Just turn the pump  off, and start again."

 

So I do the walk of shame out the store, pump my gas and head home.

That is the last time I will make an effort to pump gas, that takes too much time.

 

So I get home and the DH goes  "YOU ----------- PUMPED GAS!!!!!!!!!"

I responded  "Yea I did, it wasn't that painful"

Then he goes "did you get a receipt, I always save the receipts".  

He just got the look.

 

 

Here I should have invoked the house rule as to spouse duties.

 

I clean bathrooms, and he never has to touch cleaning them.

and

The DH takes out trash and pumps gas.

 

 

Oh and I paid around $3,79ish a gallon for the gas.

 

 

Just saying.

 

 

 

 

 

😲🤣

Top end of Coney Street.

Just around the corner from the York Minster.

Restaurant was called Ivy and was very nice.

We parked next to the Tower museum.

Saw this car today.  

 

Wondering what kid of glue you need to get these to stay on?   Asking for a friend.  
 

It probably impacts your gas mileage a little. 😁

If she's married,  can you let me know her maiden name ?  My sister might know her if I don't. I lived in the F building but knew lots of kids all over Grand St.  I moved away in 1969.

I have the same in my Sentra. Mine is on the floor also.  Both gas cap and trunk open together no matter if you push or pull on the lever.  Makes absolutely no sense at all.

Not that I can recall, most pizza in New York was anywhere from good to great.

And you could tour the Tesla factory there. Did that a couple years ago with my son.  Not sure if they still limit tours to Tesla owners.  It was definitely an interesting tour.  
 

Meanwhile, last night we cooked filet mignon, bacon ranch potatoes, corn and bread. 
 

 

Everything looks delicious, but ummm… Bacon Ranch Potatoes?! I’m drooling 🤤
