I'll leave the production of gasoline to the crackers* but when I was
a kid in Connecticut, you could get a refund on road taxes for gas
used in your boat. My dad gave specially printed receipt books to his
customers...they filled them out and sent them in for the refund. I
sorta recall the gas station operator had to sign and stamp the
receipts, but maybe not.

This was when gasoline was 20 cents a gallon at the local gas
station, and a nickel more at the marina.

Too bad his dearly departed daddy wasn't around to advise him when he
decided to hang a perfectly good storm door in a manner that trashed the
entire deck project. He needs to go back to playing with Lincoln logs.

Why does the door open out?



You're asking why the storm/screen door opens "out"?

Hehehe.

No wonder you went into the marines.

The storm/screen door opens out. The "house" door, as it were, opens in.
Was there a reality perception test to get into the marines? Did someone
else take it for you?

I dont' think that for recreational boating, Illinois has such a
provision. though. unless you've got some type of commercial license.

* crackers...those who know how to "crack" petroleum.

i knew what you meant.. "Catylist" or "Cat cracker"

I don't know that Connecticut still refunds road taxes for gas used in
boats. I know it did in the 1950s and at least part of the 1960s.

We used to have the 'marked' (dyed) gas here for commercial fishermen.
I
haven't heard about that in years.

Don't you mean Dyed Diesel? Most Tugs here use Diesel.

In those days a lot of the smaller inshore fishermen ran Cape Islander type
boats (lobster boats for our 'merican friends) with gasoline engines.

Apparently at BertieBirther's house, the screen/storm door is on the
inside of the house and the regular exterior door is outside of it. Must
be one of those jarhead things.
