    That’s how it is with me from Roberts oxygen. It’s a little expensive to get it refilled but it’s fast, and the initial buy in wasn’t expensive in the slightest.

    Yeah, I guess the biggest issue for me is that the LWS carries 40's, 80's and 150's. 40's won't fit in the cart I purchased, so 80's it is for now. Again, pay to play. I'm a buy once, cry once type of guy and will likely just bite the bullet and do it.

    Where I get my gas from, Airgas here in HI, I chose to get the 120 because to refill the 60 was almost the same price. So the cost upfront was more, but I don't get ripped off with the small tank refill. I thought that was silly because people get the half size tank but pay almost the same as what the large tank refill costs.

    Then remember most walk ins are treated like a Jeep owner at a all Toyota event

    It comes down to just what works better in your area and for you

    Also just how well you know your distributor .

    I lease one 300 cuft tri mix I need now and then it costs me $60.00 a year All the rest of my Cylinders I own

    Back a few years it got really strict distributors would only fill not swap customer owned cylinders if you were lucky to have the fill plant where you dropped your cylinders a few days .

    If they needed to be sent to the fill plant could easy be a 3 week turn around

    I am guessing you just did not get around to rounding those sharp corners off yet .

    The legs they cut would most likely be yours .

    In my case it was lucky the Vet was at the barn that day

    Not yet, you wound have to be walking up against the vehicle to ketch those corners. And later on there will be a round tube sticking out and bending 180 up to a top bar.

    Hard to tell but it really doesn’t stick out at all

    Redid my shifter and I’m SO HAPPY WITH IT. Pics speak for themselves.

    I repurposed the closed end as a back up wedding ring. Turns out, 3/4” fits damn near perfectly.

    This is the best I have. I got it from https://www.speeddawg.com/

    This is my second one, and both have been great quality. They make good stuff.
