Reading old blog posts / Propane delivery

Can you believe it is the last day of January 2022?  I have not gone anywhere since my last outing to HEB and I am very happy to be able to stay home.

I went back to the early days of my blog and started reading it since I am back to being an insomniac.  I am so glad I started this blog as there were things I had completely forgotten about and it brought back many pleasant memories.

I had hoped that Pico would have gotten their act together after one year since their merger but they are just as bad as before. The same silly girl manning the phones and them not calling to let you know they are on the way even though I requested it. Glad I did not have anywhere to go as it took them three days to make the delivery.

The last time I placed a propane order was on March 2021 a month after the Texas freeze. The price has gone up...$3.05 a gallon if you bought more than 75 gallons...$3.15 if you bought less.

We have had two sunny days and unlike San Antonio and Houston lucked out as the rain bypassed us.  However, we are expecting a cold front to hit us late Wednesday night and it could bring winter precipitation.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Propane delivery / Electric bill

I called last Thursday to schedule a propane delivery but was told they were running behind and would probably not be able to get to me until Friday or sometime this week. I requested that they call me when they were on their way so I could open the gate.

She asked me how much propane I had in the tank which I thought odd but I told her. I suppose to prioritize deliveries? They never made it Friday or Monday so I called this morning and she promised delivery but could not pinpoint a time as again she mentioned they were very busy.

Before

Went to open the gate and finally at 4:27 p.m. he made it to the house. I had come inside to write a check when the telephone rang and it was the Pico girl I had spoken to this morning calling to say that the guy could not find my house and if I could give her instructions on how to get here...WTH informed her he had already made the delivery and I was writing him a check as we spoke!

After

It has been a year since I ordered some and it certainly has gone up...I wonder if the arctic front had anything to do with it?

If you ordered 75 gallons or more you were given a lower price that being $2.85 per gallon for a total of $213.75.

Monday at 1:20 a.m. I got an email from CPL (our electric provider) with the heading Your CPL Retail Energy Bill is Available.  I have to admit I did not want to open it and I didn't until yesterday afternoon. I was relieved that it was reasonable but the news is saying we won't see increases in our bills until next month.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
