KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN!


MORE PROPANE FOR MADELINE ISLAND
TRANSFERRING PROPANE FROM TANKER TRUCK TO SMALLER DELIVERY TRUCK
Sunday, 9:00 AM.  Wind W, calm with stronger gusts.  The sky is mostly clear.  The humidity is 75% and the barometer is trending higher, now at 30.53".  It looks like a repeat of yesterday.
   It has been only a week  since the last tanker truck of propane arrived at the ferry landing destined for Madeline Island, and I find it rather amazing that another shipment was needed already.  It certainly has been unseasonably cold.
   There was a discussion as to whether the big tanker could safely cross to the Island on the Ice Road, but it was all theoretical and the transfer was made to the smaller truck, which itself is rated at 23,000 pounds fully loaded, certainly no lightweight vehicle. If I were the diver I would keep the door open during the trip across the ice.
