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!

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.

26550. iiibbb - 9/21/2011 3:06:42 PM

Arky-- we got the propane generator and I tried it out. I'm pretty happy with it, but I won't be able to tell you more until the next disaster. I have a feeling it's going to be pretty easy to operate, and I like the fact that there won't be any to get old in the carburetor. I think all I have to do is change the oil and run it every so often.

26551. arkymalarky - 9/21/2011 11:20:59 PM

thanks! bob wants to get one that runs off the tractor, but i think propane is a better idea. he really doesn't want to get one at all and has been dragging his feet for the last 30 years. ;/

26552. iiibbb - 9/22/2011 2:21:06 AM

Seems like a no-brainer if you have propane at the house already.

26553. iiibbb - 9/22/2011 2:21:42 AM

Assuming you even want/need one. I'm ambivalent, but it could come in handy one more week in my life.
