Made an appointment for an oil change yesterday. Had to make it for almost two weeks out--next Friday--because they were that backed up.
You might stock oil & filters and be ready to do it yourself.
I've been doubling up every time I buy it.

Illegals don't have to work anymore either. They are getting stimulus payments, too, and are out there partying it up in ThemeparkAmerica.I was speaking to a former LEO captain today that I have known most of my life. His in-laws own large chicken farms. They are killing most of their birds since the big meat processors can't get anyone to work for them. Even when they have an order, they cant schedule a truck because of the shortage of truckers. The workers are still at home on covid unemployment making more than the ever have before.
I mentioned this to a mutual friend, who owns a restaurant. He said there is a shortage of chicken wings in the restaurant industry and he is limited to two cases a week from his supplier. He told me that he is about to have to limit menu selections to pizza only, no more subs or wings because he is so short handed and can't get any one to work there. He told me that three competing businesses did not even open several days last week due to no one willing to work there. It put extra pressure on his business because the customers had less choices for this type of food.
I discussed all of the above with another friend who told me that his cousin just drove 250 miles from Miami to central FL to buy a truck load of drywall mud because there is none to be had in S. Florida at any price. He bought as much as his truck could hold and headed back south so he could finish the house he is working on.
When I got back to the shop my machinist was on the phone with a metal supplier trying to find out why our latest batch of billet aluminum, that was 45 minutes away this morning (And a week late) , ended up 110 miles away going the other direction. Once again, no trucks to deliver it from where it was, they will try to ship tomorrow from 3x farther away.
The above is just what I encountered TODAY. These commie demoncrats are deliberately trying to destroy this country so they can say "See, capitalism is a failure" and usher in communism.

Not with this new generation of cars, sadly. Used to be my dad did oil changes. Used to be. He can't even FIND the oil plug now.
Not only that, but cars don’t even have a transmission dipstick anymore!Not with this new generation of cars, sadly. Used to be my dad did oil changes. Used to be. He can't even FIND the oil plug now.
Most of them really believe that a crash can't happen here --- not in America. Besides, they believe that life is supposed to be fair and that by golly someone is responsible for taking care of them. Just listen to them and they'll tell you that you're crazy, the economy will come back after daddy government gets rid of this pestilence and joe really cares about them.Just received a note in the mail today from xieden's crew, more money is coming.
That folk would sit on their ass waiting for more free $$$ while witnessing our
economical destruction speaks to the character of fellow American's.
O.W.
I know! That is so f....ng annoying.Not only that, but cars don’t even have a transmission dipstick anymore!
We are in that position regardless. The economy is headed over a cliff, no matter what. Nothing can stop the crazy train.Well, either "they" need to let people go back to work and stop the dole or we're lying on our backs with all our bellies exposed.
You know what that means.
Don't wait 'til you can't find the oil & filters.
It won't go bad.

Don't matter if you are working or not.
The oil and filters aren't the problem. It's finding where the drain plug is and where the filters actually GO. Any more, you need a mechanic with specialized tools just to REACH them because they're butting up against something that makes them impossible to access manually.
My hermit friend says that this will be our last summer! He says farmers are culling their herds cuz can't feed them. Another friend says that they are gonna cull the Human herd and not just animals. He also said that there is a large Realter company that is buying up land in the country and building slum apts 20 stories high and renting to poor white trash people. I could look up the name. It's on his text.Wow....what an eye opener.
Thanks for sharing!! Interesting times ahead.
The friggen ship is sinking.

If you have sewer service and water mains to support slum apartments... that ain't land in the country.My hermit friend says that this will be our last summer!

The economy. Without a functional economy-a sound money system-nothing works. We are Venezuela walking.I disagree ... the bilges have been deliberately flooded, the boat is run aground and listing
giving the impression that she is no longer sea worthy, so wee the exceptional american peepses
are abandoning ship.
It wasn't busboys and burger flippers that made "Murka great ... but they played their part.
O.W.
And This is why I’m getting any and all surgeries that I may need to get done, Now.
And get any dental issues resolved if you can.
I’ve been warning my friends about this for the last three months now. V
Yeah, if you call bloodsucking tickling.
My son in Alberta Canada, gets offers of employment from USA every week, sometimes several a week. Mostly they are from Texas and Florida and Washington state, for advanced computer work - he has a lot of experience and is contracting for an International company out of Vancouver for a year or so. Mostly this is oil related work, and makes us wonder where did all the American employees go last two years, when he was looking to change jobs up here.
Our son in law is contracting Gas and Oil Wells and is very well regarded and has only shut down for the Road Bans right now - we hear Canadian oil patch is slow, but he had to turn down contracts to take time off - he is worn out. Two years ago he couldn't get much work and tried the USA, but Trump had shut down all foreign workers Visas.
So are all these oilpatch employees all getting money from the US .gov - not nearly enough to cover their incomes. It is a mystery who is needing all this computer and oil work done......
YouTube it... seriously.
I bet it ain't that difficult once you see it done.
At least have that knowledge filed away.
F O O DI'm just trying to read the chicken guts and divine what the killshot will be.
Something WILL cause a catastrophic and cascading collapse.
.... I'm already cringing in expectation that there's something I'll have forgotten
Along with replacement filters .filters are now built in with no way to change without doing a complete rebuild.Not only that, but cars don’t even have a transmission dipstick anymore!
Some suggestions:
tubemate is an android smartphone youtube downloader, if anyone is needing one and has a fast wifi connection.
'Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express' is a good firefox plugin youtube downloader.
Stocking up on how to videos is a really good idea right now.
Save those chicken guts. You can tan them and make fan belts out of them.I'm just trying to read the chicken guts and divine what the killshot will be.

This is how dh and I changed the timing belt on our Subaru. Youtube is your friend for DIY!
Looks like we have entered the glide path to a similar totalitarian system.
Many cars don't have them anymore. They vacuum the oil up from the dipstick. Weird, but true. Wife deals with it dailyNot with this new generation of cars, sadly. Used to be my dad did oil changes. Used to be. He can't even FIND the oil plug now.
We get tickled?
