I had put 54 liters of gas in this tank from gerry cans and was idling it quite a bit and only a couple trips around the block so can't imagine I burned that much fuel but put just over 80 liters in it today. $99.62 at the pump today..

That's used in the forest after they clear cut an area and before the tree planters replant or they do aerial seeding. Basically a big plow they drag behind a dozer to loosen the ground

They built a new town office building that includes the Fire hall, Library, museum ,day care and meeting hall. The old museum wasn't heated and over time the articles were starting to deteriorate so they moved it all. I've never been in to see the new building other than to pay the taxes and water bill..

They built a new museum here several years ago. They want so much for admission that I can't go.

I'm not sure if they charge anything here or not but if they did I'd just walk away because I don't think there is much that is all that interesting..
