Fuel prices.

It's getting crazy! I don't feel like using any of my tractors!

Not really useless info. They are numbers those who run equipment need to look, at but don't want to see. Another reason I'm glad I sold my big drill, average 6 gal per hour, run it hard 12+/hr. $60/hr

Oh I know that any body running a business Tim needs to know the costs. And we all do. I was just rambling as normal. My son in law does, he operates his own dump trucks. A 15 cent a litre jump to him will be a big cost. When he uses 100’s of litres a day.

That's what I'm thinking Eugen! I was planning on digging a small pond in the back this summer with my 644 lbh and move the dirt with my 646 loader.
I can't imagine how many times I'll have to fill 5 gallon jugs to keep the tractors going. Plus to keep the grass cut.

Someone posted on the local Facebook groups that propane went up a lot. Lots of people around here heat their house with propane. Hopefully it will go back down by next winter.

OK, so there'a bad guy stirring the s**t out of Russia, prices go up on a lot of essential needs. People become upset everywhere, unrest. Smouldering fire in the world, what does it take to burst into flame? My point is, things will not get better before they get worse, and we're in this for the long run. Hope I'm wrong. There, here's my rambling for the day.

Propane went down here about two weeks ago. Only couple of cents, didn’t go up here today, but our normal price change day is tomorrow. So who knows. I use propane for heat.

Oh ya, great ramble Eugen.

My propane company only filled my tank to 80% and I'm on a prebuy program Still $300+ left out of the $2K or so I had prepaid last summer

Anyways I forgot to mention late last week while driving to work I passed a military convoy. Half dozen or so trucks towing artillery and a few other trucks. Saw a small convoy of 3 trucks the week before and just a single truck 3 weeks back.

It's absolutely crazy with all the price increases, I can't even try to give an estimate. The 6" schedule 40 pipe I buy has went up over $7.00/ft in the last 6 weeks, that's on top of the $10.00/ft it went up last year. Funny thing is it is not slowing work down at all.
short ramble, its been a long day

Jumpins, holy cats and all that stuff.!!
Fuel up again today. Gasoline up 5 cents, now $1.85 per litre. Diesel up 16 cents, now $2.50 per litre. Furnace oil up 16 cents, now $2.04 per litre.
Guess I’ll be staying home more again.
