Miss LI Duck as most of that land now has McMansions.

Truth. When I was a lot younger I recall walking to the bay, past the duck farms. The smell was intense. Feathers were everywhere.

Now, it's mega-mansion ville.

Last guy to fill my tank at TSC said he didn’t care if tank is out of date. Kid at uhaul wouldn’t fill one once.
Hope I get same guy at TSC.

If you do an exchange .. you know longer own an "out of date" tank.

That's how it is here in Illinois during hunting seasons. You cannot (legally) have a shotgun in the field with greater than 3-shot capacity. Larger capacity tubes or magazines have to have a stopper in them.

And how effective has that been to reduce the illegal handgun thugs in Chicago? Rhetorical question.

Good Morning, It's been years since I was here. My computer crashed last week so I'm putting all my favorites back in and checking passwords. Well have a nice day everybody and I will now try to check in more frequent. Ron

Thanks for the check in Ron

We have a convenience store in Trenton that will swap tanks no questions asked. We also have a hardware store in Highland that will fill any tank, so long as it's functional.

I'll take the out of date tank to a store where they are quite busy and have teenagers for the staff. They are less likely to know or care about whether the tank is out of date or not. They will just do the exchange as fast as possible to get back to the cash register.

I do that quite often. I also check the dates on the exchange so I make sure I can go a few years filling up at the propane store at the cheaper price before having to swap a tank out again

I take care of my tanks, don’t really like to exchange them.

Kyle recently asked about good movies.

The Woman and I just finished watching this one (streamed on Tubi I think, but also available on Hulu and possibly others)

This Mountain Life Movie Trailer:

Fantastic cinematography, absolutely stunning visuals, captivating stories, themes that many on here probably can identify with, family friendly.

The opening scene is a knockout.

The awe that mountainous landscapes evoke is universal. Yet in a province that is 75% mountains, most of us seldom venture into true wilderness. Living amongst us is a special breed of people. They are undefined by age, gender, profession or background, but for them, the draw of the mountains is so strong that their lives must revolve around it. Martina Halik and her 60-year-old mother Tania attempt a bitterly cold 2300-kilometer ski trek from Canada to Alaska through the treacherous Coast Mountains; a journey that has been completed only once before, and never by a female duo.

Their adventure is interspersed with beautifully crafted portraits of high-altitude human endurance: the gripping story an avalanche burial; a group of nuns who inhabit a mountain retreat to be closer to God; an impassioned alpinist; a focused snow artist; a couple who has been living off grid in the mountains for nearly 50 years. Shot in cinematic detail, This Mountain Life is a riveting examination of human passion set high in the peaks of British Columbia, Canada.

They did it in winter ...

Highly recommend ... :thumbsup:
