   If'n it was just me, I could see it sometimes.  But, it is always good   
   to just get back home.  The problem with home is that there is always   
   something to do to maintain things.  I guess you just have to find that   
   sweet spot.

   We have a convection oven and convection cooking top, as well as the   
   microwave.  Then there is also a set of gas burners over the oven.  If   
   at all possible, we use the electric stuff.  Not sure we've even used   
   the gas grill inside yet.  Better to save the gas for hot water when   
   needed.  You gotta pick up to get that refilled unless you have a system   
   for using additional bottles.
