Hi Dave, Remember me, Dion, your friend. Just to re-introduce myself. In your spare time,
I’d totally appreciate it if you’d come by our backyard (via the front door—it’s big of me, I
know…) and help me, an incompetent fem case, with my propane tank. I need to know how, or
be watched doing it, or have someone else do it for me (like you!), unhook (or “unscrew”?) the
hose from the valve—so I can take the tank to the gas station to be filled. Thanks if you can get
here before Saturday—lots of leeway, as usual—but if not, “no worries” as we say. love, Dion
