Bob Cordell has a new book out!

Since the new fave project is a Sony FM Tuner, I'll have to find the one that's in a box in the basement.

Where does one get decent metal work these days for less than the price of a new car?  Aside from those Hammond boxes...

[Gen. Dreedle]

Somehow, I don't think that Sony tuner will fit the bill.

Not sure your question has an answer. Especially since cars now cost $41K, and can only go 40 miles, of "pollution free" driving.

(And don't forget: electricity is also free!)

You guys have to pay for electricity?

You guys have to pay for electricity?

Yes. How much do you guys in the US pay per kWh?

[Gen. Dreedle]

Depends on the time of the year. In Texas, a lot more in the summer.

In the northeast United States, it's also a lot more in the summer.  It's a lot more in the winter, too.

[Gen. Dreedle]

Not here. Cheaper in "off peak" season. I forget the actual months, but basically a lot more, just in the summer.

Funny. Same price whole year here.
Only day/night price, at night KWh is a little bit cheaper 

[Gen. Dreedle]

I'm sure day/night pricing is on the way. As I have a cousin who works for a utility company, I do all my "heavy lifting" at night. I'm  sure he appreciates it.

Wish I would get a price break..............I can't sleep at night, so more reason for me to do stuff at night.

But, if O' Bow-Mao has his way...............

"Under my proposal of a cap and trade plan, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."

Friggin' Marxist.

Had to Google "Cap and Trade Plan" .......... http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/42869262.html

Oh my, great. Absolutely the right times to plan such attacks. What a cretino.

Here, we have day/night difference and also winter/summer. Cheaper in summer, because there is less water in winter....

Same email here.

[Gen. Dreedle]

Now, they say it will arrive earlier, than expected. Guess I shouldn't complain, but then I have already done one thing out of character.

[seagreen]

The poor guys at the photocopy machine discovered that since only two copies have been ordered (yours and mine), they'll be done sooner than expected.
