Non-ethanol Unleaded (87) gas at my work is $2.90/gallon. The e10 crap around the area is about $2.60/gallon. Low sulfur Diesel (on-road diesel) is $3.14/gallon.

Most definitely better built. The carcass (skeleton) of it is just basic construction grade 2x4s. The top is made out of hardwood (in this case Elm) from a local sawmill. The back and shelves are made out of cabinet grade plywood. If I made that out of all locally sourced hardwood instead of...

If this type of post exists, please merge, I looked without the search and didn't find. Anyway, wife wanted to go for a drive. Ended up at the local trail at the Pensacola Dam in Disney, Oklahoma. Not many pictures and wife didn't bring her camera so these are from my phone. We didn't go too...

My most recent furniture build. I work for an oil and gas distribution company, but woodworking is my passion. I can make almost anything out of wood. Popular sellers are Cornhole boards (trying to get away from them since that market is saturated), and smalls that sell. But I love the big...

My glass is $500 deductible. I love my rates for 2 vehicles. The jeep is a 100/300/100 with $500 deductible, not really complaining. Plus it is bundled with the house and boat.May see what the cost would be to lower it to $0, or even if they offer that for the glass. I think I am going to...

Sitting at the glass shop wishing I could have used the deductible money for something other than a windshield. Not even 3 months of owning the Jeep and replacement windshield #1 going in today.

Disappointed no one has done one of Pecos Bill.

I wish.

Have a few tales I could share, but don't really want to take away from this thread and its meaning. You can always look up the unheard of tornadoes of May 3rd, 1999, particularly the Mulhall, OK tornado. Me and a few college friends were on it. It will be engrained in my brain until I pass from...

When I am not working, or when I have free time, my twin and I are out with a buddy or two chasing storms in the Spring. Have seen some beautiful clouds, and some terrifying destruction. To me, tornadoes are fascinating, from a safe distance. The sound and the destruction can be horrifying...

Found some interesting sky pics. And they are from some time back. So not recent. But thought I would share. Watercolor painted skies over Kaw Lake, Oklahoma. Nothing terrible, but from a dying storm. The prequel to the pictures that follow from 4-1-2012, near Cherokee, Oklahoma. And sadly...

This is from over the summer. This storm ended up producing a tornado about 15 miles east of this location. Taken at work. May have to pull out the SSD drive to get more images of some storms my twin and I have chased over the years.

Sweet sunsets!

In 2019, 2020, and 2021 we had ice storms. 2019 was the worst one. Had over an inch of freezing rain and it downed large mature oak and elm trees, power lines (out for weeks in some areas), and was just a mess.

Here in Oklahoma, according to my wife. They are calling for 8-12 inches of snow. Something that rarely happen here. A few weeks ago we had about 4 or 5 inches of snow and it was amazing how many people were in the ditch. Wife had me go get fuel for the generator, make sure it still works. She...

Why in the world would we want to do that?

Starting to love this group around here. Lots of smart asses! My type of place! :p

Very nice.

So, who is the furthest traveler to join you all on this wheeling trip?

Right on. There is a lot of BS and idiots in every state that I have been to. Oklahoma is loaded with them. But also loaded with some of the nicest people (to strangers anyway). We tend to keep to ourselves for the most part. We will ask locals about what there is to do around the area. Wife...
