Another Christmas Miracle

I thought it was way past Christmas till yesterday.  Per usual i went for my exercise walk with Ray, Wayne and Linda.  We do a 2 mile loop around town and then sometimes grab lunch.
Ray, my neighbor from Marathon now at anchor Marsh Harbor.
Wayne and Linda, new friends.

When we were coming back to the dock to dinghy home on the boats I met a fellow cruiser carrying a bag of trash and an aluminum 10 gallon LP gas tank.  He threw away the bag of trash in the dumpster then set the tank down beside it.  I asked him if he was throwing it away?  (read: crazy)  He said yes that it was past its inspection date and he had already bought new ones... 
10 gallon aluminum tank - retail $140.

Well as fate would have it, MY ten gallon LP tank ran out when Cousin Rick was on the boat using the grill.  I had it on my short to-do list to get my tank refilled.  So here is this Christmas Miracle bottle.  I grabbed it up and rode my bike to the LP gas place and had it refilled for $12. 

Now when you come visit i can cook stuff on the grill.  I'll be using a new aluminum 10 gallon tank!
