It is always a guessing game when to comes to purchasing gasoline for our vehicles. There are 3 gas stations in town that have had a price war going on for several years, so they are always offering their gas at very competitive prices which is a plus to us all. We had heard that gas would be at $4 a gallon at this point when in reality the prices are dropping, not by much mind you, but just a bit. I just paid $2.83 and if I had not bought it there and waiting for a few more miles I would have paid $3.02. That is a big difference!
Last night we finally got our first snow of this year’s winter season. Only a few inches, but enough to close the schools for the day. It doesn’t take much for the schools to close down these days. I’m glad that I don’t have to deal with schools and child care issues. Old man winter keeps me busy enough.
My siblings and I have finally decided on all going in on a trip to Myrtle Beach for this year’s Christmas present to the folks. We are going to find them one of the new Myrtle Beach best hotels that is right on the beach and one that has good golf packages that we know that they will appreciate and enjoy. The Horizon Resort at 77th gets my vote. I’ve done some research on these Myrtle Beach hotel packages and I think The Horizon is top notch, while still affordable, if we all pitch in as promised.
The Horizon has indoor and outdoor pools, hut tubs, over 80 golf courses to offer. It only opened two years ago, in 2008 and is doing well for itself right in the heart of Myrtle Beach. They have a user friendly website, http://www.horizonmyrtlebeach.com that can fill the other siblings in on what I’m voting for.We don’t have much time left, so doing all of this online is going to be a time saver all the way around. My parents will certainly be happy with this year’s Christmas gift, I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to play a few rounds of golf in the Myrtle Beach South Carolina area.
There are some TV Commercials that just really hit the spot. The first time I saw this one from Subaru it caught me off guard and I found myself getting some what emotional. I know, guys are not supposed to admit those type of feelings but hey I’m only human and I have my moments just like most of us do.
Anyway I just saw the commercial again while I was typing away on my laptop and I decided to see if I could find the commercial online. Just a few moments later – here it is.
Any father who has a daughter just has to think hard about this one.
Today was the perfect day for a motorcycle ride, so I made a few calls and rounded up a few friends that have some nice looking and nice sounding Harley’s. We spent the day getting some decent wind in our faces and then stopped for some spicy Mexican Food along with a few cold beers. Couldn’t have been a better day.
