Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

GasBuddy is reporting all the stations in my area have fuel. What's up with up north?

 

I bought all of it now I'm hoarding it and selling for $5 per gallon

 

Wow. That has changed in the last hour....wonder if someone is fucking with it. At 10 no one had gas.

 

Going to ride this one out, came home with 3/4 of tank will go to work on Tuesday with 3/4 of a tank and see what it looks like at that point. Shouldn't need gas until Thursday evening or Friday morning.

 

Don't trust it if you don't use the tracker link

 

I have the app also but I go into news where it takes you to a new link then do a search. It's a little more trustworthy

 

I'm down south, and when I checked they were showing availability.

Unless I'm doing this wrong. Been known to happen. Fucking rarely.

 

The concrete work is done, water was hooked back up last night around 6pm. Forms will be removed on Tuesday then the fun begins, got to get a list of materials together so I can start the rebuild. Here are some pics of the stages.

 

Sigh

 

DAMN!!

 

That's an old pressure tank. Good job
My well house is falling apart but it's still standing. It's good to see you protect your well,your water source. It's supposed to be protected just no enforcement and lots of people don't know about it.

 

Just looked again...half the places that were green this morning are red. Ugh.

I'm down to half a tank. Might have to get up early tomorrow and refuel just for survival.

My wife's Prius will go another month before she'll fill it up.

 

I need to break loose the iron pipe connections so I can rework the water the way I want it to be in the new bldg but this is the second time I have gone after them and they will not come loose. I'm afraid to break something and then up with a new pressure tank. The well house was built originally about 28 years ago.

 

Not good bat man...

 

Try tightening first with pipe wrenches then loosen.

 

I will try that once I work on it again, have been spraying some PB on them to possibly help the situation. Had a leak this morning as one of the pvc couplers gave way, so went to town to pick up some minor things, water is flowing again.

 

Gas is scarce here but I also just went to the grocery store where there were 2 armed guards. So...I guess Kroger is real serious about that limit of 1 milk per person.

 

Milk is running low around here for certain ones. Whole milk shelves are all empty in my area.
