Well, last week I posted that I ran the furnace through one cycle, just to make sure it was in good working order. It was. No problem. I changed the filter and thought we were ready for when we needed it.

This morning, DH got up and went to turn it on, nothing. Nothing at all. Deader than an doornail. He said we shouldn't be out of propane (although I don't think he actually went out and looked at the tank). All that we use on the propane is 2 furnaces and the water heater. We still have hot water. We need to see if the other furnace (for the upstairs of the house) works. So for now at least, we are burning wood in the livingroom fireplace. He is not feeling well (flu) so not sure when it will all get checked out.

Meanwhile, I came to town to bring the girls to the library. I noticed the lowest regular was 2.05 (plus it was at the coop, where we get a 3 cent a gallon discount for being on their electric, so 2.02 for us) and deisel is now 2.99. DH will be glad to see the deisel down. The ruby red deisel normally runs a dollar lower sooooooooo, I think the tractor will get filled up for the first time in a year. It will be happy. We can only put the ruby in the tractor, its not legal in the truck unless we are using the truck off highway, which we use both on and off highway. (ruby red deisel fuel is untaxed also.)

The kids who disappeared, had amber alerts issued over them and were found on Sunday were on the local news and local radio last night. Basically it seems they did it as a lark. I saw/heard really no remorse from either of them. He was 16, she was 14. I couldn't understand why a 14 year old was "dating" with her parents blessing (not my style) but apprently they had been for "several" years according to many sources?? The family seemed to have some issues as well. It seems these issues passed on to the kids. I hope the situations these kids are in improves. Let kids be kids while they are kids. Let the grown up activities wait until they are grown up...OK, I got that rant out of my system.
