Propane... What a Pain.




Propane is a three-carbon alkane, normally a gas, but compressible to a transportable liquid. It is derived from other petroleum products during oil or natural gas processing. It is commonly used as a fuel for engines, oxy-gas torches, barbecues, portable stoves and residential central heating.


When used as vehicle fuel, it is commonly known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or LP-gas), which can be a mixture of propane along with small amounts of propylene, butane, and butylene. An odorant such as ethanethiol or thiophene is added so that people can easily smell the gas in case of a leak.

What a way to start a week back to work! To come home to find that we have no heat, no gas. How pi$$ED am I..... not at the fact that we have no heat but the fact that we had just spend $288 on gas on DECEMBEDR 19th! Not even a month ago....  What the heck???????

For years I have been telling Brett that we need to switch over from that god awful tank... but its eaiser said than done.
Besides the money involved........ the worst part is that they are telling us it could be Thursday until the gas comes.......

So last night we all snuggled in one queen sized bed, clothed in layers, with our electric blanket and a heater watching the Orange Bowl... with the TECH Quarter Back #9, being a ball hog... getting sacked ...doing "Flush and Run" plays until midnight and laughing thinking about poor Jeff who drove all the way to Florida to freeze on the metal bleachers watching the pitiful game. On the bright side he did get to see Cool and the Gang perform live....

Tonight I am going to the in-laws......


ps.... Where did the spell check go?
