Have to ask, what the **&&^%#% is with gas prices here. How can you be 1.25, then go down to 1.12, then next day back to 1.25, then back down again and so on. What kind of racket is that. Never seen the likes of it before. At least with Safeway points we fill at 1.08 when its low. Just have to watch the cycles. LOLOL

The gas prices magically seem to concide with busier weekends, mostly due to all the major highways passing through. So friday afternoon -- 1.25, and monday morning 1.12

BTW, welcome to kamloops, nice to have another reefer in town (just down the street acutally).

Doug, you snuck into town did ya...

actually this year it has been the opposite, cheaper on the long weekend prices go up Monday. it was normal to be pretty stable in gas prices here I found until costco opened there gas bar. now you never know when its going up. I just top up now when ever it goes below 1.15 which seams to happen every week. filled up a day early last week and missed out on the 1.09.

anyhow welcome to gods country, except I think this June must be close to setting some records for rain fall . I start my nights at work tomorrow, but we'll have to get together for a coffee pretty soon. I'll even buy since I don't have to buy for Brad anymore .

yes it will get brown here but ugly?? not a chance, I look out my window every day at the river valley hills and mountains, can't get to much of a better view for your front window...

you getting used to the trains over there yet?

Steve

I do the same at Safeway. Never paid over a $1.10 with my wifes Safeway points card yet.

Kool. Look forward to coffee. I still would like to go visit and buy Brad one some day... It is very nice here. The surrounding hills and scenery is something we never had in Manitoba. Although I still liked the bush/lakes in Manitoba,s north when we lived and worked there. Thats to isolated for us know though. Need better medical when ya age, unfortunately.

Yes and no. They are not really a bother. Except everyone now and then seems to vibrate the place. Must be the speed at which they go pass some times.

Well, be thankful you live in Kamloops...that's the only city in the Okanagan doing that. The rest of us just get the $1.25 price all the time!
