    Virginia Diesel fuel tax refund

    Here in Az you just take your pump receipt into the cashier and they give it to you on the spot. I don't bother unless i buy a lot. Although, on the pumps that sell the class 2 diesel with a tax of 21c it can add up.

    Sidearm choice- for the wife.

    Cyclone 3800 2nd AC Install - Need Help ASAP
