I live in the country but my parents live a couple hundred yards away. Their driveway kind of loops down past my house just past my woodburner. Yesterday morning the propane man (who I'm on the Vol. Fire Dept. with) was over there filling their tank. As he came out the drive I just happend to be down throwing a couple of chunks of wood in the OWB (what a ON TOP OF THE WORLD feeling that was) I waved and he waved. He goes down the road a bit and pulls in my drive and I'm thinking what is he doing??? I walk over to him say hello Eldon, he say's hi back and I ask him what's up? He politely asks if he can get a gallon of water for the truck. Of course I said so he handed me the gallon jug and I went over and filled it. Here's where it gets good, when I handed it back to him I said that will be $1.89 I started laughing and he didn't. Now I'm not typically a smart a$$ but I thought it was kind of funny. I'm on the Fire Dept. with him and figured I could get by with it. I don't think he really was mad, maybe he didn't get it, maybe he was in a bad mood from standing in the cold pumping LP :confused:

No BS and yes he wanted to burn the shop down but cooler heads prevailed .
It was -25c or colder ,other shops were closed and the air pumps at the gas station were froze .
He was so peeo'd he got up at 4 am 2196.17 miles away to call me at 7am so he could vent .
