Fall 2016 General BS Thread
Yep. It's Fall. Time for the leaves and temps to start dropping.
Was unable to make the lunch and car show last weekend. We went down east to visit my wife's folks. Spent the day with them Saturday. I spent two miserable hours in the woods before the bugs drove me nuts. It was so hot and humid. Nothing was moving. Also got in some fishing and had much better luck. Caught drum, croaker, spot and mullet. Got back Sunday evening and started tearing down the trail bike.
Hope everyone has a good week.

Gas shortage seems real around here. Coming back yesterday we probably passed two out of ten stations that had any gas the rest had the pumps closed. The sheetz down the road from us has all it's pumps closed this morning.

You can definitely expect price gouging to continue. On the way to the Car show on saturday I notice fuel at 2.09 and on the way back it had jumped to 2.20 something a gallon.
I'm wondering how long it will last.

Heading out in the next 90 minutes or so for my second Physical Therapy visit, and truthfully I don't think it helps.
I've got better then half a tank in the truck, but i think I'll see if I can find a station that does have gas, and top the tank off.
Y'all have a good day

I made it through Physical Therapy alright. A little sore, but hoping to avoid surgery.
The truck and Shari's Escape we each down to 1/2 tank, and the Walmart here in town has started selling fuel recently. So after grabbing a few things for dinner, I checked out the gas situation and they are out of everything except for regular unleaded. So I topped off the truck, and Shari's Escape.
Then feed the neck some, and grabbed a 12 string that I snagged off of Craigslist a few day's ago. Hey, nothing wrong with a super clean Washburn 12 string guitar for $60

You seem to find the CL deals for sure!
So as an update to the fuel situation, Line 1 which carries gasoline had the rupture\spill. Line 2 which carries oil or diesel typically has been switched to line gasoline, though, a smaller line it is flowing. Also trucks are rolling with fuel. Only reason I looked in to it, is because I was curious since I thought ambulances and fire trucks were typically diesel, and McCrory talked about emergency vehicle fuel situation.

Yep sure feels like we're catching up on all that rain we didn't get now. It's been steadily coming down all morning. Bob, you could use a canopy on that deck out back! It'd help with smoking in the rain.
