The two propane tanks for my grill have been empty for about a month, and hardware stores can't sell me refills because there is a propane shortage in the state. Propane is only being sold to people who use it for heating.

:disgust1:

Having to use my stove and oven every day sucks.

there's gotta be some blue rhino distributor near you, no? they've already got the 20# cans filled, so they can't help the people who need their larger tanks filled.

got home, and it was about 7F outside...went outside to my grill (on a beautiful deck, btw), started it, and went inside.

5 min later, tossed the steak on the searing hot surface.

4 min later, flipped it.

4 min later, took it off.

after letting it rest for ~5 min and re-heating the sweet potato, i was digging into a delicious steak dinner.


try that w/ a charcoal grill. :P

I don't like the idea of a propane tank sitting in my car for 10 hours. It's probably harmless, but it just makes me feel uneasy.

Anyway, I have a charity bowling thing in Chicopee tomorrow morning. I'll bring a tank with me and hopefully find a propane dealer in the area.

Freedom is all about driving too fast and smoking with explosives in you car. Screaming the occasional yeehaaw is optional.

I'm no so much jealous that you are bowling but jealous that you have the opportunity to rent shoes.
