    Do you buy the premix or make your own?

    A little of both. I mix fuel for my saws since the gas gets used before it gets stale. In my weedwhacker and leaf blower I run expensive premix since they sit for a large part of the year.

    Went to Rural King to see what bar oil was in stock. Got distracted and didn’t get any.

    The guy brings this turkey everywhere he goes. The turkey was purchased from this Rural King 3 1/2 years ago.

    Are you *sure you're not in ohio?? We have a 'turkey man' in my town as well. LOL! My first sighting was of him driving a little red pickup around with a big ol Tom sitting shot gun. Have seen him at Rural King and Lowes also.

    It’s gotta be the same guy, South Zanesville Rural King. The guy kept gobbling and the turkey would reply back. RK staff definitely knew who he was. Lol.

    I just picked up 6 gallons of bar oil at Blane’s farm and fleet for 7.99/gallon. Seems like that’s what it cost last time I bought some, so that was good enough for me.

    How do you see a sale before it begins? I looked at the Menards website and can't see any flyers that are not current dates.

    I can drive 8 miles up the road to a certain Sunoco station and buy whatever octane race gas they have, but I haven’t done that in 20+ years. The VP/Trufuel is convenient enough since I’m in Home Depot or TSC fairly regularly anyway.
