You can ask the mods to reinstate your days, you know!

Have a nice week and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family! Thanks buddy! Ron

Hi, congratulations on having the perseverance to post for 600 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Your buddy, Warren :-)

A BIG CONGRATS on reaching 1.5M and your nice red pickup! Really awesome! Keep going another 2 or 3 million or more! : ) Most new GBs will never make it to 1M, but you made it to1.5M! Really awesome! Many of the GBs ahead of you have already retired! You're doing great, so keep going! Don't give up now, like so many of the GBs that reached 1M and 2M, then retired! Only 2,154 GBs have made it to 2M of more than 400,000 GBs to have accumulated at least 2,000,000 points, so there is room for you there also! Keep going like a PRO Lancaster GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Thanks buddy!

My prices in Lancaster were spot on. I was at the pump. There were 4 prices....regular, mid, premium and Ultra...there was no category for Ultra so I put it in the notes section. Ultra 93 was 10 cents more than premium.

OOPS! I ran out of space. It seems that our carriers had a slight bit of overlap. Later, Warren :D

Hi Joe, I was also a smoker. I started when I was 19 and quit about 15 years ago. My wife still hasn't been able to quit. When I graduated from college, I must have sent out 150 resumes and the only company that responded with an interview was Rohm and Haas. They flew me from Riverside, CA. to Philadelphia for two days to interview at three facilities near there. I didn't get hired and started working for a local electronics company in Riverside. Small world. My final 23 years were spent working for the Pima County Wastewater Management Dept. here in Tucson. I was in charge of sampling all of the industrial manufacturing companies in the area that fall under federal regulations. We had to make sure that they were not discharging 126 Priority Pollutants listed by the EPA. The two main county wastewater treatment plants discharge to a normally dry riverbed and are regulated by the state and the EPA for 13 Heavy Metals and 113 highly toxic organic compounds.

Thanks Joe! Hang in there buddy! I being retired also, makes it much easier being here each day on GB, but I do have to place limits on this activity because I do have other things I do enjoy also and actually have lots of other things to do everyday. I've almost recovered 100% from open heart surgery on 3/13/12, I don't know if I'll ever be out of the woods as far as relapses of bouts of pericarditis, I'm now on bout #3 and taking meds for that. I do try to do meaningful exercises 3-5 times each week, i.e., walking, biking, weights, easy jogging, and we live right near a rails to trail, a few blocks away, that makes it easier to get out to enjoy a nicely build 10.5 mile rails to trail. I'll be watching for your 1.5M achievement. Have a nice week! Ron

It is interesting that you were almost a chemist. I worked my way through college by working in labs. It took me 8 years, but I got a lot of practical experience. I was going to retire at 60, but my investments also went down then sideways. I went out at 62.5 years old after 30 years of local governmental service. I had always planned to buy a big bus RV and spend retirement traveling this great country of ours. However, my wife became disabled, is on supplemental oxygen and can't go over 5,000 ft . That severely limits travel back and forth across the U.S. even by air. Best laid plans of mice and men don't always work out. Good luck! Warren :D

Thanks for becoming my newest buddy. I hope that you have a great birthday, in case I don't get back to you before 11-24-2012. You are about 8 months older than I am. Retired is great isn't it? Your new buddy, Warren :o)
