    Darn, I still can't tell what this is except it looks like it has a couple of BNC connectors for a coax cable on the bottom.

    Enjoy the books Bret.. Once you get back to the grind, there won't be any time to read Speaking of which I should engage in some recreational reading. You know you're going cuckoo if you're reading the codes in your spare time

    Thanks for the explanation. So, did you become a millionaire? I know it takes a lot of money to live in/around Vancouver.

    Wellllllll.....I've been developing DRSAs and working very long hours for DC for 11 years with $1.8M to date invested in DC with a trip every year to the AHR show taken out of DC.....THAT'S IT......Brenda and I have never been able to take a wage from it.
    And I live on Vancouver Island, not Vancouver...BIG difference....but everyone annoys us and 'calls us 'Vancouverites'.....

    So the short answer is no and my accountant says every friggin year, I hope your vision is true and I hope your DC customers appreciate this product because it is probably about the poorest investment I would advise you ever continue doing....you are quite frankly crazy Doug and Brenda...dump it.
    My HVAC/R company underwrites the DC product!

    was out in the heat fur about 15 mins today straight today (100 F) dam near went down for the count but made it back to the house stumbling BUT NO FALLING.

    The AC in the garage by far undersized but for $15 bucks it good and can keep it around 77ish on these 100* days. and allow me to be out there.

    I've seen some reports on these books/movies etc but am not sure what it's all about. More of 'Hardy Boys' (boy, now I'm dating myself eh?) type book ain't it?

    Yup all done the ocean loops for now.....got maybe another 100 ton one for a lady from San Fran that bought 5 waterfront properties and wants to heat/cool all of them plus pools and a couple of greenhouses........but she is converting a apartment block in Manhattan to condos right now so we may miss the 'legal window' for putting $hit in the ocean ..... then catch $hit 'cause from her for not doing it in the spawning season and suffering a $2M fine......go figger eh?

    The Hardy Boys they aren't.

    Basically, 2 children (11-18) from each district in the country are drawn to compete in The Hunger Games. These are, essentially, a televised fight to the death.

    A young girl volunteers to take her sister's place and the books follow her in the games, the second game she gets forced into and what follows. (Don't want to spoil anything for Bret) There's also a 'love triangle' story involved between the main character and 2 young men.

    I was initially hesitant to let my son read them. They're pretty violent in parts.
