That's probably just as debatable as where to fuel up. Both have pros and cons. Too many factors involved for a concise answer, also individual results may (and often do) vary. That said, I prefer a larger carrier ;)

Good morning from sunny Elliot Lake, Ontario (pop. 11,500) where its a balmy 42F and the skeeters are still biting.

Didn't see a gas station for nearly 4 hours from the highway. I'm sure they were there :confused2: found one on google to take my fuel card an hour away...

Last 5 fill-ups (since leaving TX) we're ALL over $ 3 per. Next one in Washington State will probably be $4

I get what you thought I said :p maybe some more coffee? The fact that you had a gas station to go to, no matter what the price, instead of trees and moose lol

Didn't even see a live human in an industrial area here till 8 am. Thought that meant it was laid back. Nope, everybody just leaves themselves 3 minutes to get to work and drive like maniacs. I got honked at

Funny seeing atvs driving to work, wouldn't get away with that in suburbia back home

Oh, and they leave tens of thousands of $$ worth of equipment outside all over the place, no cameras. In fact they told me to leave their delivery on the ground outside o_O

Will they ever let you be a part time CEO?

Van should be done around 1pm :)

Most likely going to just stay home for the Holiday weekend.

After digging out my business check book, I was surprised to see that I had not wrote a physical check from it in over 4 years o_O Also, to see that my old address was still listed. Guess I never got around to getting new checks made after I moved. After over 4 years of no use, don't see the use in updating it now. Just to be sure there would not be a issue I contacted my bank. They said as long as the person doesn't have a problem with it, no problem on their end. She said they don't even look at that.

My how times have changed with so many payment options available now, almost making a checkbook obsolete.

Using my debit card would have been easier, but due to transaction fees put on the shop, they are now charging 4% more for debit/credit cards.

They will take a check, saving the 4% fee, so cash via check it is ;)
