Re: Cancel Search and Rescue! We are still alive and doing well.
The mention of electric bills reminded me. Here you can select from three different rates based on “your” desired power source. One is all green power. The highest. Another is a mix of green and regular power. Medium priced. The third and lowest is regular power. Now if you know anything about elect...

Around the house, just tinkering with stuff. Or napping
Outdoors fishing. Or napping. Though I often combine the two.
I’ve tried to combine tinkering and napping but that’s never ended well. And the wife complains about the blood stains.

I’ve heard lots of complaining by folks who have no heat of power. In one case a fellow said his generator had been broken, he didn’t know how to fix it and hadn’t bothered to have it fixed. He also had no backup heat or even good blankets. Many commiserated with him. Then you read Jim’s post and it...
