Toilet paper hoarding

I keep coming back to this damn thread to see if V-Tail got his TP. Disappointment after disappointment. Where's all the damn TP in Florida?

Sweet -- we have one here (KEET) and hers is blue with white leather where yours is green.

Thanks for the pic -- old A&P's enjoy them.
Well, if you had looked in the shade hangar area north of the FBO building at KEET from 1995 through 1999, you would have seen my N8824M on weekdays.

I was doing software development work for BellSouth on contract, during that four year period. I would depart KEET on Friday afternoon each week, fly home to spend the weekend with my wife at home in the Orlando area, and return to Alabama Sunday evening or early Monday morning to work for the week.

Would have, but didn't start with them until 2009. Also, hers had tip tanks -- every annual had to replace leaking sump valves -- expensive Beech parts.

Went to Costco for early Geezer shopping. Sign at the door said they had some, so I got in line.

Half hour later, line had moved, I was almost in the door, they announced that they had run out.

So yer saying youse was Shit outta luck...

If you are down to the nub, tired of using palm fronds I could be persuaded to ride over an bring a few rolls from the private stash,

Payment should be in chic-fil-a sammiches, prefer hot with pickles... One per roll, 4 roll limit, no coupons or discounts.

Getting lower, but not yet critical. I will give you a shout if the situation becomes really shitty.

Don’t know if you’ve got Kroger in your neck of the woods, but up here in N. Indiana we’ve been able to add one 12-roll TP pack to our grocery order for pickup and get it for several weeks now. I’ve added about 36 rolls to the stash over the last month or so.

Is this a bad time to mention that I just cracked open my untouched case of Charmin Ultra Strong that I’ve had since December?
I have two teenage girls, I stack TP deep.

Far as I know, there isn't one within 100 miles.

There is plenty in most of FL, but there is a 100NM TP exclusion zone around V-tail, apparently.

Ultra Strong? Ugh. Heathen.

Charmin Ultra SOFT is where it's at.

My local Costco had plenty, in fact they had a lot, this morning at Geezer Time, which is the hour for us Seniors, the hour before the general population is allowed in.

I noticed they had the big huge institutional or gas station sized rolls in stock.

If Mr V-Tail would gas up his bug smasher plane and take a trip to OKC I’d have plenty to fill it up for him.

We took a trial run last night, out through Apopka past the Citrus processor and up 441 by the Aeropuerto de V-Tail. Looks to be an approximate 45 minute run, give or take 15 depending on traffic. Approximate payload capacity is a full pack of Charmin.

In case you get low, estimating a couple of hours time to haul the load to the Hangar....

Planning to be in line for early Geezer shopping hour at Costco mañana por la mañana.

So I thought this toilet paper hoarding thing was some kind of joke. Purposely went out today just to see if it was true. Visited Krogers, Safeway, Walmart, Bashas. Yep, the toilet paper aisles were all wiped out. You would think that this corona virus would have people hoarding over the counter cold and flu medicines but Nooo!!!! IT'S TOILET PAPER!!!! WTF!!!! YOU ALL THINK YOU ARE GOING TO SHIT YOURSELVES TO DEATH IF YOU GET THE CORONA CRUD???

Well, in a couple of European countries, as well as Iran, they didn't have toilet paper. A "pitcher" full of water to rinse it.

When I was on advisory duty in Iran, we finally got the embassy co-op store to stock the paper.

And there were virtually no commodes as such, either. Squat, aim and ….
