Yeah, we turned it on during the day a few times. It was always cooler outside at night than I set the t-stat, so I just put a fan in the window for awhile before I went to bed. Usually have turn it off during the night!

I love it!

Octane is held at Perimeter Mall the first Sunday of the month. The Mall is located in Dunwoody on Ashford Dunwoody Rd about half mile north of 285.

I was halfway between Nashville and Memphis. 330 miles from home.

Yes, that is an engine I was delivering to a friend after the GTG. I gave him the bad news about the delivery schedule and he immediately responded that now I need that engine more than he does.

Hey all,
Well today is the day I try to put the pool liner in. The daily rain helped me procrastinate long enough. I think the push mower finally died, looks like a trip to Lowes for a new one if I get this liner done in a timely manner. Battery in the motorhome is dead too. Looks like I am turning the office into a baby's room. Going to turn the basement into a man cave but that's low on the list right now.

A big welcome to Dean and jhead55, Sorry for waiting so long to approve your request as I am getting caught up on tons of Honey Do's.
