I want one and Bob won't get one.

26531. iiibbb - 9/1/2011 9:01:56 PM

We just got one. I went that uses liquid propane because I figure propane will always be available... even when there's a run on gasoline.

26532. iiibbb - 9/1/2011 9:02:53 PM

a 20 lb tank lasts 12 hours. If you already have a propane tank at your house... even better.

26533. iiibbb - 9/1/2011 9:03:24 PM

We got our power back the day before yesterday, but half our neighborhood is still out.

26534. arkymalarky - 9/2/2011 3:34:03 AM

Hey, Bob might go for that.

26535. arkymalarky - 9/2/2011 3:37:11 AM

We have a 500 gal tank. Bob didn't know they had propane ones, or so he says

26536. iiibbb - 9/2/2011 9:41:50 PM

They are not common in the retail stores, but I figured they had to exist and did a google search. I don't like messing with small gas engines, so the fewer I can have in my life the better.

I wasted an hour on a stupid weed-whacker last week for instance... propane should be a lot more reliable.

Just read the posts from Arky and MsNo in Teaching...made me tired just reading what all they have planned for the coming year.

My main goal in life for the next few months is to be able to leave the house with Keoni without spending $300 shopping...since this guy retired, he has become quite the shopaholic!

26539. arkymalarky - 9/4/2011 11:52:53 PM

haha! msno made me tired. my year is very easy. if my schedule stayed like this i might not retire.

I just have to keep reminding myself to be calm, relax and remember that if I'm not super-teacher every day, nobody is going to die.

26542. arkymalarky - 9/5/2011 7:08:57 AM

that's right. and if you see it's temporary that makes it easier. one thing about teaching is the job has a start and end every year and no two years are the same. i never feel trapped in a bad or hectic situation on the job.

26543. Ms. No - 9/6/2011 5:50:56 AM

I'm just thrilled with my schedule this year. I teach 1st, have prep 2nd, teach 3rd & 4th, go to lunch, and then have 5th & 6th. My day is broken up enough that it should help me manage my stress levels.

26544. arkymalarky - 9/6/2011 6:00:30 PM

at work, but will post mine later. that is a good schedule.

26545. thoughtful - 9/7/2011 12:36:57 AM

Well we finally got power back...after 6 days. Power is nice. Generator was good...we have it hooked up to 330 tank of LP. Great stuff. All the schools were delayed for a week due to the hurricane.

Let's hope we don't get any more!

A day late, but happy birthday to the Mote - 12 years old now.

26547. PsychProf - 9/14/2011 12:50:36 PM

Thanks for all your work here, Wabbit.

26548. RickNelson - 9/15/2011 2:51:29 AM

Wow, it'll be a teen next year. Those teen years--


Oh, oh...

26549. Ms. No - 9/15/2011 3:58:11 AM

I can't beleive I forgot? It was sort of eclipsed by the other anniversay.
