Its nice to know you are interested enough to respond! I&#8217;ve created a new search category (see Categories at the right side of the page) called Land Hunt. Use the category feature to follow posts on a given topic, rather than looking at all posts. Of course, right now there are only 2 land search posts! \ud83d\ude42 There will be more, I&#8217;m sure.<\/p>\n<p>In the mean time, life goes on. Both of us are suffering from colds, not fun. Our out-door time has been curbed by snow(!) and hard freezes. We have been trying to cover most of our plants nightly, but don&#8217;t know, yet, what survived and what didn&#8217;t. Below-freezing temperatures are forcast for the next 3 nights, with a chance of snow or rain during the days. Such un-Spring like weather is hard to take!<\/p>\n<p>This weekend looks to be a &#8220;chores to do around-the-house&#8221; kind of weekend. Jer needs to change oil and filters in both cars and wash them, get the lawn weed-whacked and mowed if possible, and then there is the regular stuff like grocery shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Getting groceries is a bit of a chore for us, as our favorite place, and nearest full-line store, is about 30 miles away in Grand Junction. We typically run a few errands (including Wal-world), get groceries, and get gasoline all in the same trip. Getting gasoline consists of fillling up the car, and normally filling up Jer&#8217;s extra gas cans. On a bad day we purchase upwards of 30 &#8211; 34 gallons of fuel. The car that doesn&#8217;t make it to the gas station gets\u00a0fueled from the gas cans. Since our local station is generally 25 &#8211; 40 cents per gallon higher than &#8220;in town&#8221;\u00a0we can save arouund $8 &#8211; $15 per week\u00a0 by getting fuel in Grand Junction. Jer says his using the gas cans is his form of &#8220;couponing&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_121\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/groceries_a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-121\" class=\"size-full wp-image-121\" title=\"grocery run\" src=\"http:\/\/www.appleattic.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/groceries_a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Typical grocery run<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Thats about it for this entry.
