Default Re: New Propane cilinders

KY, Just think, all this new government regulation came about because of single parent families, bicycle helmets, and all the other crap that meant stupid kids that normally would not have survived ordinary childhood , BECAUSE they never had Dad's around that taught them early in life that OXYGEN and other inert gases have RIGHT HANDED threads and any GAS, acetylene, propane, WHATEVER had LEFT HANDED threads....so you could tell them apart and NOT blow yourself up...

I once had 5 extra tanks to back up my grill and torch, then after adaptors for $10 each, at first, which THEN were outlawed, then the complete conversion, I am down to only ONE extra tank....and am forever bitching when I run out in the middle of a steak about the stupid people that couldn't figure out LEFT HAND THREADS....

About all I have gained in all this besides junking all my old tanks is I can now change tanks without channellocks...
