    Correct!  He mentioned the model designation but I didn’t catch it.  Cruises at 194 knots and burns 10 gallon/hour with 40 gallon capacity.  Tandem that the owners fly all around the west.  Owners built it themselves over the course of many years and moves.

    Ozzie, you’ve put so much money/time/work into your beautiful current residence, but looked at other opportunities to the north, and other properties local.  Do you just have permanent wanderlust?

    Saw a pretty cool property today.  Private 2800’ runway and hangar.


    Me thinks you’re simply looking for a space to host epic parties that rival the likes of Carey’s.

    Always looking for opportunities.  Still have Morgan on my mind, now that prices in the valley have settled a bit, might be time to look again.

    Getting ready to travel to Germany - flight leaves tomorrow.  RDU to ATL to Frankfurt.

    I was set to take a train from Frankfurt to the place I'll be working next week, but apparently the train workers are set to go on strike.  The cost was about a wash anyway so I rented a car for the week.  Glad I know how to drive a stick  - it's pretty much their default and they charge more for an automatic.  

    I shall report back as to whether or not Germans are better about driving slowly in the left lane...

    Unthinkable that I used to defrost with hairdryer, duh  :)
    Hot water and towel is way safer and faster. For example, the shelf that has the hot water pan on it as shown took just over 10 minutes to clear up. The ceiling coil is still a PITA though.
    Question for anyone that still has manual defrost dinosaur, how do you defrost? Wondering if a steamer would work better.

    Set a fan (oscillating, box) in front of it blowing air at it.

    A hammer and a pry bar is a bad idea. Don’t ask me how I know.

    I'm assuming in this scenario that time is of the essence?

    @JohnInCarolina -  Along with the driving adventures I'm quite sure you will enjoy fine German beers during your stay.  Safe travels!
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    @JohnInCarolina my coworker once went to Italy where they give your car reservation away if you get delayed quickly. He had reserved an automatic. He got there and all they had were manuals. After mentioning the reservation and that he couldn't drive a manual he said he guessed he could learn. They found an automatic.

    A manual fiat panda in Italy was really fun to drive.

    You mean for the whole thing or just the ceiling? If former, how long will that take? I have 100% full contents holding in multiple cooler boxes, time is of the essence.

    Edit: From my past experience even a hair dryer on max heat and speed took forever compared to hot water + towel. Each shelf had about an inch of ice above and below. After I posted I used a garden blower to clear the loose ice trapped between the top coil and ceiling.

    Haha, matter of fact our walk in fridge (enclosed porch) was 'broken' for over a week or so, mother nature just fixed it few days ago  =)

    Replaced the furnace power supply switch with a switched outlet and a pig tail.

    ^^^ 110V gas furnace, plug makes it generator extension cord ready. Easy middle ground solution between doing nothing and messing with main electrical panel/circuit, not sure why I started worrying since we never had a prolonged outage since the Blackout of August 2003  :)

    Is this in reference to Texas A&M and their partnership with Qatar and nuclear proliferation?
