Heat Pump?

My wife of 42 years passed recently, so I am knee deep in her death cleaning and realized just last PM that I am also doing my own. Highly recommend "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning" by Margareta Magnusson. Very thin book, easy read, thought provoking.

I had a serious case of Shingles. Left side of my face. Could have cost me my sight, about that in a bit. Three weeks in a dark quiet room, 5 medications. Exhausting. Very painful, even with Gabapentin for the nerve pain. Get Vaccinated, Shingrix, series of 2 injections. Should protect for at...

Many years ago, when I first switched to Red Line for my 1984 Ford wagon (LTD, 3.8L v6) I noticed that after about two weeks with the new oil, it seemed to be changing color much sooner than I expected. With some thought, my conclusion was that the engine had some sludge built up. I did some...

I worked on that product line, power supplies. They were really complex because they were also responible for cooling air flow. Compounded by several hardware configurations. SGI's downfall was buying Cray Computers. fat biker
