So I am told. There was a really good NOVA on PBS recently about research on
psychedelics that was very interesting and insightful that I highly recommend:

Maybe $10K and it's worth the trouble. The pleather steering wheel cover

The coldest spot has to be in Winterpeg but Randy began hibernating last

The lowest we've recorded this week is 2°F. The geothermal unit is keeping
us nice and warm, it is cycling so it is not at capacity. I have the
cut-off board pulled for the aux heat strips - so they are not in play. We
keep the house at 73 in the day and 68 at night. We are very happy with

breaker. After a trip out to the cold 38F garage, my suspicion was

I’ve got no complaints about their service, for sure, but I would agree with

My gas bill at the Flagstaff house is laughable. I don’t know why, but I’m not
complaining. Gas furnace, range, demand hot water heater, dryer. Last month it
was $82. That’s with 2-1/2 adults (the person living in the casita uses the
dryer, but heat is a mini-split.)

I was having an intermittent fault on one of my mini-split outdoor units for a
bad thermistor which was shutting it down. I had ordered parts ages ago but
procrastination…. So it faulted yesterday after running for 3 or 4 days fine so
I figured it was time… thankfully it has run well since then
In typically winter weather here I don’t recall seeing a bill over 300 in one
month during the coldest part of the year. It has seemed cheaper to me with a
heat pump versus a regular AC and gas furnace. I would hate to see a gas bill
in the winter now with natural gas prices way up like they
I meant to mention that the mini-splits I had installed at the Flagstaff house

Right now it is finally up to 11. Supposed to get up to 25 today. Most of the
