I dealt with Amerigas some time back and then switched to a local propane dealer. Now that little guy has been bought out by Ferrell Gas which has a rep just as bad as Ameirgas. OTOH, I have 4 or 5 local oil companies I can deal with that undercut each other at every chance. This alone makes me hesitant to jump on the propane bandwagon. Plus, you run out of propane you are done. I can always get diesel to run in the furnace if I stick to oil. Where propane shines is long term storage. Outside of that it's a wash IMO.
Oh good, more rain. People are getting a bit stressed here with the rain. The Gubermints of the US and Canada came out with some new plan a few years back for regulating water levels on the St Lawrence and Lake Ontario. 2 out of 3 years the new plan has resulted in flooding. So all the lake shore and riverside people are screaming bloody murder. Meanwhile the farmers are dropping like flies around here. The tourists aren't touring in the rain and fuel prices are going up. Happy, happy, joy, joy....
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my wife is getting set to retire and wants to move south to be near her sisters. I was dreading this, but going with her is lots cheaper than a divorce. Moving south means 200 miles, not Fla or Georgia. So I got thinking that where she wants to go is 15 minutes or less from the Vermont border. If I gotta live in a blue state, why not live in a blue state with good gun laws and lower taxes?! So I opened up that option and she says, "You said we couldn't move to Vermont because they didn't need NYS Troopers there!" I pointed out I've been retired for 10 years and that that discussion as 25 years ago! Sheesh!
