Could it really be…?
The gas guy buzzed at 7:35 this morning, as promised. Crayton exchanged his tank for ours… and our tank was full. The dude managed to fill it up!
Now we just gotta try it out. No time for grilling this evening — I’ll be making Mexican chocolate tofu pudding and churros with the girls — but maybe tomorrow.
I really hope our house doesn’t blow up when we try to use this thing. Crayton swore over and over that he told the guy propane.
