When I got to the gas station , all these guys were there showing off their cars. It seems there's a lot of money in Phoenix.

I need to fill an empty propane tank, and I've always had problems finding a place to refill my propane tanks while staying at Ben Avery gun range. There are at least two places that I'm familiar with, but they are like seven or eight miles from Ben Avery, and I have no reason to go in that direction other than to get a propane tank filled. I looked on the Internet, and the propane information is so full of advertising that I couldn't find anything useful. So off I go on a physical search of the area to see what I can find.

There's a gas station that I always stop at because it usually has the cheapest diesel fuel, and it's just down the street from Walmart. And I bypass a couple of gas stations because their diesel fuel is too expensive. But, this time, I didn't want to drive to Walmart, so I stopped at the first gas station to top up my diesel tank, and wouldn't you know it, hiding in a corner in the back of the gas station, where I couldn't see it just driving by, was a big, beautiful, propane refill tank.

This gas station is a very short distance from Ben Avery's gun range. I can't count the times I've driven six or seven miles past this gas station to fill up a propane tank. And yet, here is a nice, normally priced, five-minute drive place to fill up my propane tanks. It takes me longer to drive out of the campground and out of the gate at Ben Avery's than to drive from Ben Avery to this gas station.

Oh well, a valuable lesson learned, and it only took me 20 years.

Ford cobras used to be my favorite cars when I was a teen, but they were very expensive then, and even more expensive now. But I'm pretty sure these are not the originals, these are probably fiberglass bodied copies, since the originals  start at One million dollars, and go up from there.
