    Electricity usage

    I live alone with my dog now, so I can run or not run what I want. It takes a long time to fill the washer with dirty clothes when your single. Lights don't get left on for no reason, and air conditioning is not a necessity this time of year. I will have to service the coal stove soon, cause...

    Electricity usage

    My usage was 34kwh per day in western NY. I was able to drop is to 7kwh per day. Those air conditioning units are hogs. Last bill was $366 highest I have ever saw it.

    Electricity usage

    I thought I saw a hummingbird on the butterfly bush, but it turned out to be a Hummingbird hawk-moth. 1/4000th of a second to get the pic. I should have went faster.

    Went for a walk by the pond but it started to get real humid so I cut it short. I was able to get one shot of this Monarch butterfly.

    Water filter operation.

    I wound up turning the main off and releasing the pressure by the red button on top. I changed the filter that way. Still can't get the handle to move.
