…so coffee and reading followed by lunch and naps. Chilly and damp, thus a slow fire in the stove all day.

Afternoon devoted to getting the griddle cleaned and operational. Blew out the spider webs with the compressor. Then discovered that the propane tank was out of gas. Quick trip to Mindemoya for a refill, but when back home discovered that the tank had been over filled. On first start-up the regulator froze and started leaking—which impeded progress. I had to bleed the tank (which was a first) and replace the regulator (a spare hanging in the garage, of course), and then, presto, onion rings, hash browns, and smash burgers.
