Colonial Pipeline halted operations after reporting that a ransomware cyberattack had affected some of its systems.

This.

Its affecting airlines, too. Some are already tankering fuel into the east coast hubs to avoid more severe shortages.

Good Lord. I'm about to find out if the madness has hit here yet. Gas was 2.89 for regular unleaded this morning and I'm down to my last LED segment. Oh well, at least I get 46 mpg.

46? That’s all?

Just got he's here at the Safeway. They had a tanker truck offloading gas. It was a little busier than usual, but was able to pull in right behind another car without any issues. We'll see how long that holds up. Full tank for now.

Just saw a quick report that they expect to have the pipeline back into full capacity by the end of the week. It was on the weather channel and haven't found anything online yet to confirm the report.

Just saw Energy Secy Granholm state the same thing on tv.

Saw some really bright dude filling up 5 gallon buckets of gas in the back of his SUV today

Isnt that illegal, i know in texas it is. All gas has to be put in an approved receptacle such as a gas can.

It shouldn’t need to be illegal due to the inherent stupidity of the act.

TIL the Colonial Pipeline runs just a few miles from my house, maybe even walking distance.

A good piece of advice I received years ago. Before you put the lawn mower up for the winter,run it out of gas. If you have extra gas in a can, add a fuel stabilizer. It will be good the following season. The best places to find these is at auto parts stores

Where do you live? In New Orleans we use the lawnmower year around.

I guess I’ll just put some gas in ziplocks and garbage bags.

Do you see a switch, or maybe lever of of some sort? Help us out.

Pass me a few plastic bags and I'll see about filling them for you.

South Ms. and we do get a break from mowing from mid Nov. to late March most years. we do get minimal season changes,but I look forward to them. I had a great uncle who lived in Homestead Fla. When I was a kid,we visited him on Christmas day. He had just finished mowing his lawn the morning before. South Fla. is where year round mower use is needed.


My brother in law served 20 years in the Navy. He was stationed 4 years on Hawaii. He told me the weather was boring. The temps were the same on July 4th as they were on New Years day. I know many people would love that,but not me.

Yup. I could decorate me a palm tree for Christmas. I don’t care if I’m never cold another day in my life.
