Hey Steveo,
Is that heat back East as bad as everyone says it is?

Pretty hot, but the killer is the humidity...not quite as bad here in Memphis as it was in Pa and De, but still a lot higher than I'm accustomed to.

Gonna go visit Greywolf tomorrow

Right on.
Have a safe trip home.
Say 'Hey' to Gail, and give Max a pat on the head.

From: SoCal...LP to the LB
We've been looking into solar. A friend from school and his family got the panels and had everything wired but it took forever for them to get the "OK" to turn the stuff on. They finally have it on and they really like it, they just hated all the difficulties in the beginning in having someone from the city(LB) inspect it, and all those little factors.

We have a refrige in the house and an older one in the garage and I know that thing is affecting our bill. We are kinda sorta looking to see if there are any of those gov incentives/rebates out there that would kinda ease the cost to replace the 8 year old one in the house and move it to the garage and get rid of the old one out there.

Has anyone totally "unplugged" the so-called vampire accessories? such as sleeping laptops, cell chargers, tv's, etc? Has it made a difference? Out bigger electronics are on those special surge protector power strips so they could all turn off with one click but we've just never really done it.

Wow, now THERE's a term I haven't heard in a hundred years (or at least it feels like it)

Hey, I still have Dolly Parton on 8-track. Still get a kick out of track changes in the middle of 'Here you come again'...

‪Dolly parton here you come again‬‏ - YouTube

Edit, just listened to this recording... kinda 4-track quality!

Bought out by Sam Goody's (I think) sometime during the 80's.
