Heritage Propane Delivers....finally

A quiet, hot day here at Tanglewood today. I think I am still recovering from mild dehydration after yesterday's pickleball matches. I played this morning again but went pretty easy. Another 80F day here today, but thankfully there is a breeze as well. Swimming tomorrow morning instead of pickleball. Nothing wrong with a little variety now and then.

Spent the day cleaning up around the RV today. Have to have everything ship shape for Chris's arrival on Jan 10th. I also worked a bit in Lightroom using a colour desaturation technique I learned on the internet. I dropped all the green in the leaves in the above photo before pumping up the orange just a bit. I thought it came out pretty well. Almost good enough to eat.

The propane delivery truck came by yesterday afternoon ... finally. Apparently, they were just too busy to come by last Friday as scheduled. The delivery truck has a huge propane tank on the back and a high volume hose that filled up our RV propane tank in about 30 seconds. I thought that was pretty impressive, given that past fill ups at campgrounds and service stations usually take 5 minutes or more, and that is after you have waited in line for up to 30 minutes on occasion as well. Total cost was $41, which I thought pretty reasonable given our tank was less than one third full. This was the first time we had used a delivery truck and I would definitely do so again. Sure saves packing up the rig and having to drive to the propane supplier.
