Propane Tank is Installed

The SKP Ranch Lakewood, NM - Monday, October 14, 2019
Morning 57 Degrees, Wind W at 1 to 3 Mph, Humidity 72%, partly sunny.


Propane Tank, they brought the propane tank and placed it on our lot. Then they ran a plastic pipe in the trench and used different types of end pieces to complete the installation with a shutoff valve at the back and flex hose to connect to Buster. We have a thirty-five percent (full) in the tank and they will be out to service and refill tanks the first Wednesday in November. We should have enough gas until then or they will come out for an emergency propane gas fill.

Cover pipe, now it is fill in the trench covering the propane pipe. It is easier pulling the dirt into the trench and raking it out compared to digging.

Waste basked and brick on the water 

Windy in the afternoon, but this morning “we” men in the park and the water committee place insulation and a waste basket with a brick for weight over our water pedestals to prevent them from freezing in the winter. With the man power and help it only took a half an hour to “get er done”. We did this last year for the first time (park wide) and it worked well.  I our our winter hose (blue cover with electric heat) on yesterday.

Roswell shopping day, only three stops today but it is still sixty miles one way. On our shopping trip September twenty-seventh we both went to the local Eye-Mart in Roswell to get our eyes examined (new prescription needed) and new glasses. My wife got her’s but I did not. I was having trouble with the “machine” and when the doctor examined me said I needed cataract surgery and to come back after that is done. They made the soonest appointment and that will be tomorrow another trip to Roswell. We did the shopping today as the appointment is for nine fifteen in the morning and we have a one hour drive to get there. So we do have to be moving at eight to be there on time. I do not know as I write this what condition I will be in. I think it will only be a pre op look see but there might also be eye drops and what else I do not know.   

The propane tank system is doing he job and there are no problems. Gas use has been good as of this writing at about thirty-one percent, that is good.
