Grilling is sort of okay when there's a group for socialing but not for just the two of us. Actually I no longer enjoy cooking for a crowd of peasants who don't return the favor. We no longer treat friends and family to dinner, especially since there's no reciprocity. Now we only treat a handful who live locally, amd they treat us. We tired of hearing how they had to travel for two hours to get here and yet they never invited us. These days we only bother with locals. we don't waste our energies with one way friends/relatives who are really just aquaintences, Since our parents passed we have altered our allegences, We got along famously with our mother/father inlaws but since they are gone the other inlaws can rot. |

I used to have an electric hot water heater. When I switched over to high efficiency natural gas I got a gas hot water heater too. It heats up water much faster than the electric heater did. At the time I switched, my oil bill equal billing was $300 a month for 10 months of the year. I don't bother with equal billing now because heating costs are a fraction of what the oil bill was. My highest gas bill was just under $160, and that includes the hot water. My brother has a gas clothes dryer. He says that clothes dry faster and there is less lint, which translates to less wear and tear on the fabric in the dryer. |

Until generated by renewable > resources, natural gas is a much better choice. Clean and economical. Well, John, aside from having mental health issues, is a bit of a misinformed idiot. He can't see the pollution from his coal fired generators so he thinks it is completely clean. FWIW, most of my electricity is clean. I am about 15 miles from Niagara Falls, a major source of clean electrical generation. A couple miles in the opposite direction is a major wind power farm. > In this area, there can be extended power outages too, but gas will give > me hot water and cooking ability. I'm considering a generator before > any hurricanes pop up. I can get by without lights and television for a while. My big problem with the power is out is loss of water. I am on a well and cistern. When the power is out the water pressure system is kaput. |

Tankless on-demand uses gas, the only electric is for the LED temperature indicator, milliwatts. We love the tankless on-demand hot water, there's no water tank to maintian and hold at temperature... takes 30 seconds for hot water. We can regulate the water temperature up to 120ºF but we keep it set at 115ºF which is more than enough for bathing, still need to add some cold. It's impossible to maintain utility bills with tenants, which is why I always had full house rentals, tenants were totally responsible for their own utilities.

Yes, for yours. He wants to put in an electric one. Lots of power needed. 100A for hot water plus all the other heaters he want to put in.

I don't mind cold weather, though I do get fed up with extended periods of cold weather. OTOH, my countrymen and I tend to melt when the temperature rises over 80 F. |

Thank you so much for asking, Nellie! I'm fine, trying to get all the spring chores done, don't remember it being this hard but it's almost all done. We did manage to get something done today that I say I will every spring but never do, went strawberry picking. That was fun. Think we'll make it a regular thing. Thanks again for the shout out, really made my day. nancy I'm so glad to hear this, Nancy. I don't check In that often, but often enough that I noticed your absence. Wow, I'm impressed, strawberry picking Is tough. We went to a cherry orchard not too far from here and picked 25 lbs of cherries. It was the opening day of cherry season so the trees were laden with fruit even at the lower branches so my 21/2 year old granddaughter had a blast picking Nancy, check in occasionally please 😊 I always enjoy your posts.

The new > batteries will change how we view electric power and the way we > live. Another one of your great guesses? Don't bet on it happening any time soon. They have been doing research on electric cars for a long time and battery life and range have been a major problem. Don't forget that the bigger the battery the heavier it will be, and the heavier it is, the more energy it will take to move it. Think about the fuel logistics for airplanes and space craft. My friend is a retired airline pilot. He has told be about situations where he was flying into an area with weather problems. He was concerned about being stuck in a holding pattern and being low on fuel. One one flight He had to insist on carrying extra fuel. They had to do a number of calculations to consider how much extra fuel would be consumed and the extra cost just to transport that fuel. He stuck to his guns and got the extra fuel. As it turned out, they did get stuck in a holding pattern. When things opened up he had to get prioritized due to low fuel, landed and taxied to the gate and arrived with little more than fumes in the tanks. |

Funny you should mention bees ... I just posted this to another group : Some here may recall me lamenting (I think I whined here too) about losing 4 of our 6 beehives over the winter . Well , they're doing their level best to recoup their losses . A few weeks ago I split one hive , giving me 3 . Well yesterday one of them swarmed . Right into equipment I had on standby for my next split , which makes 4 . Saved me the work ... so today I feel the need to inspect the hives . The split from weeks back is good , both boxes queen-right . The swarm doesn't need inspection yet , let 'em settle in . All that's left is The Tall Stack . Lot of boxes and a lot of bees . Mad , pissed off bees . I was looking for queen cells since I'm pretty sure it mothered the swarm . Too mean for me to really look , so I stole a full medium box of brood to start another hive . Pulled a frame with a nice patch of eggs from another hive to be sure the new split had some to make queen dells . If all goes well and the new split takes I'll be back up to 5 , right about where I want to be . It IS a hobby after all ... ----------------- Needless to say my bees are doing just fine . I should never have let that colony get so big , meanness is related to colony size . The plan is to split off another colony as soon as I can determine the status of the "tall stack" hive . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |
