Well the warm weather continues in good old Portland. Seems rotten, since even Florida has them iceskating in the streets. I WANT snow, and get 45 degrees. The darned oil prices continue to rise. This must stop if I am to order oil next month!

Well, it would appear I have been having trouble getting into the swing of things again. Sorry about that. Or perhaps it is that I can’t stand to report the high prices. I will try to do better. It seems as if the prices should be dropping but they are not. Hopefully that trend will change, SOON.

Well good golly Miss Molly we got snow yesterday. It was gorgeous. It snarled traffic, it stranded folks on their way home, and it thrilled me to no end. We took photos, enjoyed it while it lasted and we are now hoping for more. The price of heating oil is up again. Way up, darn it.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.44 400g 2.39 up .08 Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.47 400g 2.45 up .11 ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/29/09 Close 78.87 Crude 12/30/09 Close 79.28 up .41 12/29/09 Close 2.1028 Heating Oil 12/30/09 Close 2.1099 up .0071 So lets see what the close today brings. It would sure be nice to start the New Year with a nice LOW oil price. Too bad, up again. One more chance, tomorrow, to end on a downward trend. That is my hope for the new year, cheaper, more affordable heating oil.

Today would have been my parents 62nd wedding anniversary.
OIl prices have been up and down, up and down. I have been so busy with Christmas cleaning, wrapping, cooking, visiting and having my computer tied up with Christmas projects that I have not been able to pay attention to the daily ups and downs. Sorry about that and I am now back on the job. One question though, Where the heck is our snow?
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.36 400g 2.31 up .10 Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.36 400g 2.34 up .12 ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/17/09 Close 72,59 Crude 12/28/09 Close 78.60 up 6.10 12/17/09 Close 1.9741 Heating Oil 12/28/09 Close 2.0736 up .0995
The oil prices are definitely heading in the wrong direction. Up a lot in the past week. My vote is for a reversal of that, and for the prices to fall further than they rose in the next week. Lets see what the coming days bring. Weather is nice, no storms forecast, why are the prices rising? Seems odd.

Well, darn it. In very un-Christmaslike fashion the temperatures just keep rising. Late last night as I was working around here it was so warm I had to raise the windows on the back door to cool things down a bit in here. I liked it so much better when it was cold. Yesterdays high was 44 and the cool temp not that much different about 39.
I was surprised that Larsen raised the price for home heating oil only 2 cents, and that Pulliam did not raise the price at all. Goes to show how little I know. 🙂

Yesterday, our high was 39, today as I write this it is 48. According to the weatherman, the rat, there is zero chance of a white Christmas. I am not giving up hope. We have a week, I think it is possible for Santa to intervene. I am dreaming of a White Christmas.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.24 400g 2.21 no change Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.20 400g 2.18 no change ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/15/09 Close 70.72 Crude 12/16/09 Close 72.59 up 1.87 12/15/09 Close 1.9048 Heating Oil 12/16/09 Close 1.9741 up .0653 So up it went today. Crude went up 1.87 and Heating Oil went up almost 7 cents. If you are thinking of buying oil for your home, order it today to lock in the cheaper price. It will go up tomorrow, of that I am confident.

Yesterday’s high temperature 41. It was 37 this morning. It was 35 when I went to bed. Strangely, with the market making almost no move yesterday, Larsen’s price for home heating oil rose 3 cents and Pulliam did what I thought SHOULD happen and has no change.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.24 400g 2.21 up .03 Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.20 400g 2.18 no change ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/14/09 Close 69.60 Crude 12/15/09 Close 70.72 up 1.12 12/14/09 Close 1.9066 Heating Oil 12/15/09 Close 1.9048 up .0018 Shoot! Crude and heating oil climbed today. Not alot, but, if you ask me any rise in price is not good. Crude rose 1.18 and heating oil rose less than a cent, so I suppose we will see a rise in local home heating oil prices tomorrow, at least a penny.

Oh my goodness, our cold weather is gone, the blue skies are gone, and the more usual ,dreary, damp, 40 degrees and rainy weather is back in the Pacific Northwest. Our temp this morning was 39 at the airport, and at our house. Fridays market close was very little different than its open, but Larsen oil dropped 2 cents per gallon. Lets see what today brings.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.21 400g 2.18 down .02 Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.20 400g 2.18 no change ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/11/09 Close 69.64 Crude 12/14/09 Close 69.60 down 0.04 12/11/09 Close 1.9077 Heating Oil 12/14/09 Close 1.9066 up .0011 Too bad for us, the price at days end today was barely down. It was down though since that is better than up, even a little bit. Crude dropped 4 cents per barrel, and heating oil dropped .0011 per gallon. If I am correct, and that is far from a given, tomorrow’s price will be the same as today. More tomorrow.

Today we broke another record. 15 degrees this morning at the airport. About 12 on our back porck. Supposed to snow tonight, then freezing rain, then rain and warmer temps. Personally, I am sorry the cold is going. I LOVE the cold clear days. It is so beautiful.
I was surprised that Larsen price did not change, and Pulliam dropped the 200 gallon price 4 cents per gallon, and 400 by 1 cent. It is cheaper than when we bought in October.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.23 400g 2.20 no change Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.20 400g 2.18 down .04 + .01 ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/10/09 Close 70.44 Crude 12/11/09 Close 69.64 down 0.80 12/10/09 Close 1.9008 Heating Oil 12/11/09 Close 1.9077 up .0069 Well not much change today, darn it. but crude dropped almost a dollar. and home heating oil went up less than 1 cent. Prices SHOULD stay the same for Monday. We shall see. Today’s prices are cheaper than when we bought our fuel the first week of October. We paid 2.25 per gallon for 225 gallons. I want the prices to DROP so I can buy some more after the first of the year. I did manage to wait until Thanksgiving day to turn on the furnace though, that was a good thing.
