    The current price here is $1.999/gallon. I contracted earlier in the year (in the Summer) for $1.649/gallon. My propane cost increased by 24% over what I contracted it at for the prior year (which was $1.329/gallon). FJB. Let's Go Brandon.

    But yes, I collect my own wood and use a wood stove to offset this cost. It truly is a nice feeling to come in from the bone cold to a warm blazing wood stove.

    Once more .
    Covid is characterised by certain basic elements.
    One is that it doesn't just "go away" by itself. Trump said it did.
    One is that it isn't dangerous. Trump said it wasn't.
    Another is that it has to be fought off with specific vaccines.
    Trump said it could be fought off with god knows what...too silly to repeat.
    He wasn't talking about COVID. If anything was talking about the common cold or flu. His own imaginary COVID. He used the NAME but wasn't talking about the real Covid.
    He didn't acknowledge COVID existed even though specialists had explained it. Instead he made up his own COVID.
    He said it didn't exist by rejecting attempts to deal with what he was being told.
    Frankly I don't really care. He didn't understand much of anything other than to create information for his own benefit. This was just another piece of fake news he hoped would persuade those of lesser understanding to be impressed.

    Clearly your view of the U.S. is skewed a bit.. Welfare and no opportunity is the DNC bag of tricks that keeps a great number of their voters chained to dependency. And unfortunately hunger is a byproduct of that tether..

    Does this figure change when Republicans have won elections?
    I understood that Republicans prefer LESS welfare and more personal effort.

    I am asking about Republican administrations in general. Not any part of it.
    ie not merely minorities.

    I asked in reply to your post:
    Clearly your view of the U.S. is skewed a bit.. Welfare and no opportunity is the DNC bag of tricks that keeps a great number of their voters chained to dependency. And unfortunately hunger is a byproduct of that tether..


    Which suggests to me that you are saying that general voter dependency is greater under Democratic administrations.
    If it is true that Republican voters prefer LESS state support, it stands to reason that there is MORE dependency unless Republican administrations find a way of opening up job markets across the country.
    Do they? Do you have stats to prove it?

    Filling small tanks is a skill I need to learn soon. I’m tired of paying the outrageous price for 1 lb. bottles for my torch I use to thaw frozen pipes etc. I’ve acquired a couple 20 lb. tanks I need to clean up and get hoses to fill out of my 500 gallon or 1000gal. tanks. Then I can fill my 1lb. cylinders from the 20 lb. tanks.

    I have a couple 1000 gallon tanks sitting out behind the grain dryer (that hasn’t been used for 20 years). They are both at about 40%. I just as well be using that propane instead of paying $4-6 per pound for new cylinders.

    Have any tricks of the trade to share?

    No dodge.
    I quoted your post and asked a question based on exactly what you wrote.
    You tried to add to it by mentioning minorities and some person referred to as "he".
    ISTM you can't answer it so I will give less credibility to your post as a result.
    Simple really.

    I’m gonna say it again; we have liberals saying there are no shortages, and we have liberals saying the shortages are worldwide. I think they just want to argue and at some point shortages/no shortages will become racist.

    On the large equipment that we fill tanks with, if you need to change fittings it's reverse thread.

    The consumer hardware fittings are regular threaded.

    You should be able to buy a fitting to do what you want to do for about 20 bucks

    Shortages of what?:mrgreen:

    Seriously, when someone says shortages are racist, I shall give up on the possibility of sensible exchange of opinion and do some wild swimming somewhere very isolated to regain any equilibrium I ever had.

    Of course he said it wasn't dangerous in the beginning. He had the world health organization in China lying to the world about human to human transmissibility. At the same time China was banning domestic travel within China but they were allowing their citizens to hop on jet airliners and travel all over the world.

    But instead of actually ask why the hell that happened you leftist would rather try to blame Trump.

    The initial information he got was only as good as what the authorities released.

    And he never denied it existed. he may have underestimated its effects in the beginning but that does not mean he denied it existed.


    I don't care how you wish to try to spend it that was a lie

    Good job contracting over the summer. I bought quite a bit of gasoline and diesel fuel cash over the summer to fill storage tanks but I really screwed up by not contracting more for future delivery. Costly mistake.

    You win some and lose some. On the plus side, the subject of this thread fascinates me, but thankfully it doesn’t affect me much. When I need a grocery item or toilet paper I just get it off MY shelves. We have at least a year supply of nearly everything we use, most things much more than a year. We buy when things are available and on sale and don’t when supplies are short or prices are high. And a great deal of food we grow ourselves, so retail and production problems in the supply chain are irrelevant.

    Covid has made me appreciate the preparedness lifestyle very much. One of the better decisions I’ve made. Dependence on others, especially government, really cuts into your freedom to make your own decisions and it severely curtails your peace and happiness.

    I’ve been perusing Amazon for hoses and fittings. I didn’t know consumer stuff was regular thread. I though it was all reverse, but all I’ve ever seen used was commercial stuff, mostly bulk tank truck deliveries. Good information. Thanks.

    Time to put together an Amazon order. :)

    I just explained how he redefined Covid/denied the ACTUAL covid existed.
    and I was not referring to the first couple of weeks of the existence of Covid. He was redefining it/denying its real nature right through the election campaign.

    Please don't call me a liar or I will be reporting your post.

    Some of us learn to build a supply while stocks are plentiful from watching the following as a small child. The Grasshopper of course represents the modern day liberal.

    If you would stop making dishonest post no one would call you such a thing.

    You've called me a liar and insulted me on multiple occasions so if you want to cry about things I guess I can go run and cry too two can Play that little game

    I did not call you a liar I said you told a lie. Remember telling me I need to brush up on English and reading skills?

    Parable of the speck and the plank comes to mind

    Sure you did. And then had the audacity to ask me to produce
    that you don't even have the common curtesy to do when bashing a political system that has nothing and little to do with you and your country..

    Exactly. It has to come from the ground.

    But it would be nice if Govts could help that along with some Tough Love.

    Oh yeah .. it'll be your fault for sure. Nothing to do with their choice to live as though there's no tommorow, then freak out when they can't even find a pack of pasta. It shows just how deeply they're invested in the idea that someone else will do all their dirty work. That someone else SHOULD do all their dirty work. They'll blame you in this case, because they can't blame Little Joey B.

    Well yeah, they're all handmaidens to the elites. But that's the point ... it doesn't matter who it is locally. The cabal of Western Govts is intent on building a massive permanent underclass.
