Will get the pics tonight.

The hose line is quick release, then slow removeal. I just make sure the tank is somewhat empty before its removed and the neighbor is home to help.

They should be able to put together a loan for you where you can do this. It will then be converted to a traditional mortgage when construction is complete, and then likely sold off to a standard mortgage company.
Okay, cool. We'll check into that. Thanks Chris.

You do not want a house that has even a 6 inch icicle hanging off of it. The draft test will get your walls and doors and windows for you. But a long icicle costs lots of money to create.
I had no idea you could read into icicles so much. I remember the house we lived in when I was a kid used to get some MONSTER icicles, like 3' long.

Don't get too excited Brendan, I paid $1.99 on Sunday and it is still dropping. Hopefully it won't be too long and you will be seeing those prices also!!

Ahh I see. I have a Garmin I use for hunting. I have no idea what model it is, but its easy to use.

I thought about getting Randy one of those turn-by-turn GPS thingys you get for your car. Do you guys think that would be a cool present? Especially considering we now live in a state we are unfamiliar with.

Here is what I had in mind: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID=9160

If I see this, I'll be putting the transfer tank back in my truck. I filled up last night for 2.34 at 6 pm. This morning at 5 it had dropped to 2.32.

Well, if I am unemployed come the new year, I may be passing through your area! I'm not sure yet, but may take a road trip to Tucson to visit a buddy for about 2 weeks, go to Rocky Point, and generally just goof off. We'll see what shakes out!

Isn't that the way it always works.

I filled up for 2.42 the last time I was at a station. Can't really price shop here in Cedar Rapids. There are only a few stations that sell diesel.

He's extremely hard to buy for. If he wants something he just goes out and buys it. First year, I bought him an Ipod. Last year, a Browning 12 Gauge and a speaker system for his Ipod.

Did I mention he's EXPENSIVE too?
