Hell I am just going to start taking a jar of vaseline when I go fill up.
I would use a non petrolium product. Vaseline probably will cost $30 a jar!
I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here!

I can't explain to everyone how glad I am that I traded in my 2002 Ford F-250 that got 12 mpg and got a 2003 Dodge 3500 diesel that gets 18-19 mpg for the same driving. It's nice getting 600 miles out of a tank of fuel. We went to fill my wife's Trailblazer up last night and actually had to wait in line to get gas. That was a first for me. I've had to wait for the person in front of me to finish filling up at before, but this was crazy. The station had at least 12 pumps and there was a line of 4-5 cars sitting at each pump.

Even in Plano on 75 today after work Cosco and Sams were both out of gas all grades. There where long lines at Qwick Trip, the lady at the counter said there we people fighting about it.
My wifes uncle is sitting outside of Houston on 45, his truck is out of gas after 9 hours. I am wondering if that highway wont be Texas's own NO disaster. They better figure something out soon. God bless those people.

I just went down to the local store thinking I could get gas and not have to wait. WRONG!!!!!!! BassBUSTINTEXAN can tell you that I live off the beaten path and I can only wonder how all these people are finding this one store??????? I turned around, came back home put my 12 year old to marinating(sp) meat. (He is very good at it)So a little BBQ is in order this afternoon. I would fry fish, but we ate the last we had in the freezer. Despite all the chaos going on here, I am going to make light of the situation. What else can you do?????
