Six weeks on one tank - Week 1

Week one has not gone as well as expected. Well, technically I'm 10 days into this experiment, and I'm over my permitted usage for the week. My tank stands at 5/8 today. I had a business meeting in which I had to travel about 40 miles round trip, along with some other errands that ate up my tank. At this rate, I'm barely going to make it a month. It's important that I try to group all of my business and personal tasks into as few trips as possible, eliminating inefficient and/or redundant trips. Pimping out my routes using Eulerian circuits would help, too.

First Fire

Last night was the first fire of the fall season. It's pretty hard to beat sitting in front of a fireplace on a cold evening. I've been using fire logs from log jam, which are 100% natural hardwood logs made from compressed wood shavings. No creosote or wax buildup, and no petroleum binders. They burn hotter than cord wood, and are cleaner.

They are made by Log Jam, a company in Michigan. Every time I buy them, I think of Jackie Treehorn, which makes me happy.
