Welp, we have now reached the point where even my propane tank has outpaced me in its ability to communicate. I rather expected my television to best me technologically, and I begrudgingly accepted my cellphone becoming smarter than I am, but witnessing my propane tank whiz beyond me is shocking, to say the least.
Yesterday,
a propane company dude came to my house and affixed a transmitter to my propane
tank so the tank can communicate with the “mothership” via satellite. The tank
will now regularly report its fill status. There is no longer any need for me
to call for a refill if I fear the level of propane is a bit low. Meanwhile, I
need to locate my misplaced smartphone so I can make my next move, whatever
that is.
