Re: Poor Al Gore, the hypocrite......
It's all good, I started buying boxers, so that cuts down on the binding...
. The Prez's Crawford place sounds great to me. The whole geothermal deal is being used more and more, and it just makes sense to me. You have the comfort without the expense, whats not to like. And the house isn't built out of haybails or tires or whatever.
I'm the last person to preach environmental stuff, I am an exterminator who applies chemicals to houses and such (yeah I did law enforcement for a little while but the ulcers started kickin in and you can only deal with the dirtbags so long, it takes a special breed). There isn't a single vehicle we have that has less than 8 cylinders except the boat. We just try to do the best we can with what we have, by planing trips to town better (not wasting a gallon of gas for a $1.29 item). We run our house as efficiently as we can. We have a wood stove, but that is a pain, and it puts more carbon in the atmosphere than the electricity we consume, and does not save us a cent, so the wood stove remains unused.
Sounds like you have a sweet setup OMR...
OldMercsRule said:Very Good Jason, (sorry I try to avoid replies to you but could not help this one as you were so right on as you many times are). Clear, crisp, (it does have the straw man for effect, [your rich neighbor n' all]), but it works for me because it is just plain: common sense. Ruby Ridge island, (that I own) is very similar in many ways that also strike me. I don't have shore power or shore water, (but the BIG FELLA up top side, [that's GOD sorry: Bro Haut] sends lotsa wet stuff that I can collect on the 150 foot high rock on RR Island, [a natural water tower]) and I have to used the ol' brain cell to figure out how to make things work. I am very eco friendly, (both on purpose, [by design], and out of necessity). There is enough trees, ferns, moss et al on ol' RR island ta offset my ol' Mercs n' the SUV, n' my n' Rubber's gas too! My rich Microsoftie or California immigrent neighbors have all the latest n' greatest toys n' things, but I probably have more fun with my ol' Mercs n' all. Sorry ta bug ya Jason but: good Job! Respectfully JR
