    Run a gas line off the separator. We get 500k cu ft allowance for our farm and if we go over we pay market well head price at the end of the year.

    Do they have the option to buy the well? There are plenty of guys who contract well service and could keep the well producing enough for a single home and or shop.

    Yes they talked Friday to the company and were given the opportunity to buy for an incredibly low price. I just found out today.

    As part of lease agreement the company gave gas to one house after we helped them get a swamped dozer out of the mud company owner actually hooked up a second house that belongs to an aunt. They were a small drilling company and they were very fair to the land owners.

    Had my eyes opened on mix prices when I checked out the current price on Echo Red Armour from Amazon. I purchased a case of 6.4 oz bottles last April for just under $100. Now same oil is $160, ouch. Glad I stocked up.

    Seems like the cheapest way there is by the gallon @ 71.99 ( .56 cents an ounce )
    I might have to bite the bullet and just order it and get it over with.

    Over 200 for an 8 pound jug of Varget and then the Haz Mat charge. Like chicken, used to be $1.59 per pound for drumsticks and thighs, now it's over 2 bucks a pound on sale. I laugh at thr sale prices, not a sale, a screw job.

    I stumbled across their site when I was looking for Link sledge hammer handles and they were 10 bucks a handle cheaper than anywhere else on those, and had free shipping.

    Looks like I need to buy some oil from them too.

    so at 40:1 ratio wich is what I run normally I breaks down to a cost of $1.66 a gallon and in a perfect world will do 40 gallons.
    That should keep me busy for a while.

    I just had 7#s of Power Pistol given to me. I've never used it, but I will be now. Powder prices are ridiculous at the moment. So are primers.

    2 items I NEVER cheap out on is pre mix and bar oil. Never have, never will and I only use Carleton replaceable roller nose bars too. Not cheap but quality is never cheap. Baileys always has a nice selection in stock.

    A buddy just sold me 4 unopened pounds of Varget, 1000 once fired 5.56 lake city brass, 500 unfired Lapua 223 brass and a new Sierra loading manual for $200. Varget is $50 a pound currently if you can find it.
