Living Life Economically

Two weeks ago in my Economics class we talked about the Law of Diminishing Returns. This law basically states that for each extra unit of product that you consume, you gain less and less benefit each time. Eventually, the additional cost of consuming that last additional product is higher than your additional benefit, at which point you refrain from consuming the product.

With that in mind... I am very much the type of person that likes to be around people, but today I spent the whole day home alone, and didn't see a single soul until about 6pm. All day I only saw a total of seven people (four of which were my family members). AND I LOVED IT! So what made me suddenly enjoy being alone instead of being with people? Well, if the Law of Diminishing Returns is true, then I guess I've consumed to many people?

I don't know, just food for thought I guess.

Fun Off-Road

Last Friday I took my truck Off-Road for the first time! I was driving home down rte. 173 when I saw some farmers in the field harvesting corn. I recognized the opportunity I'd been waiting for, so I pulled off the road into the field to ask the farmer if I could drive around a bit. ;) He said "Sure no problem, just don't tare things up too badly!" :)

So for the first time I took her off road. YAY! I'd like to do it again sometime, where there's more mud and a need for skilled driving (or at-least 4x4). :)



Oh and I'm finally learning how to sew! Here's a picture of me sewing filters for my Waste Vegetable Oil. :)
An interesting fact that I discovered tonight, is that Waste Vegetable Oil users are protected in Texas, Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, and Rhode Island by tax exemption laws! :) GO VEGI OIL! :)
Alas, it's 4:50, I am still at school, and I should have left the area around 3:00pm!

Why am I still here? Well for one my piano lesson went 20 minutes over. And the more primary reason, my truck just blew a $1.99 injector return line fuel cap! This was a temporary cap (designed for vacuum lines) that was installed by my mechanic. It was supposed to be replaced with a new one long ago, but I haven't taken the time to do it, so... Now I am required to take the time sitting around doing nothing extremely productive, and in general, inconveniencing numerous people.

Anyway, stay tuned, and maybe I'll take the time to put up a new blog post soon. Before I start inconveniencing even more people.
