The indicator that I have requires me to turn on a switch and an idiot light will give an approximation of how much propane I have remaining. Then if I'm even more curious I can go outside and look at a gauge indicator that also gives me an approximation of how much propane I have remaining.<br /><br />Perhaps you are thinking of something more like a smoke alarm that will screech until the tank is refilled or the battery is removed from the alarm?edlfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859730659143852274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-44217629237148934252015-01-04T20:49:24.366-06:002015-01-04T20:49:24.366-06:00Murphy's Law of propane is that the tank will ...Murphy's Law of propane is that the tank will empty at 3, but why is it always a.m. :-)<br /><br />Great shot of the bobcat.<br />Bob and Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128674200250063454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-41425257104167493442015-01-04T20:41:11.521-06:002015-01-04T20:41:11.521-06:00Hummer shots are great but the Bob Cats are just f...Hummer shots are great but the Bob Cats are just fantastic.

Then they turn and the sunlight hits them, and it's a whole new ballgame with the bright florescent colors. I never get tired of looking at those little guys. <br /><br />I ran out of propane, too, on Wednesday and powered through the holiday on Thursday with my generator and space heaters. Sure was happy the propane guy here was open on Friday, otherwise I would have driven to Yuma for more. Those holidays always surprise me! (The base up here had propane for $1.98 someone told me, and it's open to the public.)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-68481589046655577812015-01-04T15:00:34.576-06:002015-01-04T15:00:34.576-06:00Great SCORE!!!! on the Bobcat in the wild...We hav...Great SCORE!!!! on the Bobcat in the wild...We have heard they were at Falcon State Park in South Texas when we were there...and saw one scurry across the road..too fast for a photo...Love those hummers too.

Not fun. And it is definitely snow bird season wherever you go in the Southwest. Did you by any chance see the news story about the little bobcat up here? He got hit by a car but ended up between the grill and the radiator and lived. They rescued him and he doesn't have any cuts or broken bones. They are waiting for blood reports to make sure he doesn't have any internal bleeding and then they will take him back out into the wild (if he's okay). Absolutely amazing that he lived through this.Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-81815613633023458722015-01-04T09:44:52.637-06:002015-01-04T09:44:52.637-06:00Awesome photo of the bobcat.

I have Amazon Prime so I can get most of my stuff, including vitamins, speciality foods, and more with free shipping. I also get to read books for free, and listen to music, and watch movies. I just added an app to my ipad that lets me listen to all that free Amazon music off line. Yesterday I bought an AUX cord so now I can listen to my favorite music, podcasts, and audio books while I'm driving. I also have a bluetooth amplifier on the way so I can hear it when I'm moving around, cleaning or cooking. Finally I can get the music I like when living in the wild remote places I love.
