OT: Gas shortage

As you sit in the gas line or are looking for a station with gas, DON"T you wish your car was powered by on of the small nuclear reactor like those they have use to power satellites for decades?

Well why not, if you have an oil well in your back yard:-)

My wet or dry Shop vac, which I bought around 1975, and used for around

40 years until I decided it would never break, so I replaced it with a much quieter vac, still runs like brand new. I'll call it a shop vac because that's it's name and is what it actually is... and I'm not too sure how many $hundreds you have to over pay before it converts to a "dust extractor".

And check this out, all the old hoses and attachments fit perfectly in my new, Ridged vac. No need to dig another well if I want more hoses and attachments:-)

For the record, jeez, LOL. When I was in the automotive business and worked for a car dealer, the mirrors were all rear view mirrors. The differentiation was inside rear view, or drivers/left side rear view or passenger/right side rear view.

If you were looking for the part number in the catalog they were in the same place, under rear view mirror.

East of Raliegh: On Saturday many of the station were out of gas. This morning we went out to fill our Chevy and found gas at the first station we tried. There was one other customer for gas. It appears that in this area we are almost back to normal.

Don't forget all the speed-scrubbing contact points before the vehicle hit the tree.

The curb, the culvert, the raised manhole cover. All of those contacts could have slowed the vehicle down without damaging the front end.

I'm not saying 90 or 70 either, but the popo did use the words "high speed".

According to GasBuddy, it looks like about half the stations have gas around here (far SW Atlanta Metro). I haven't really been looking because my truck is good for probably two more weeks.

After about 30 minutes the rest is pure overkill.
