Getting cool. Cold weather is just around the corner. Hope Benita has enough fat on her to make it another winter.
You more than deserve a day of leisure. One of the things I love most about Terlingua is basking in the silence of it all.
I'd seem one of the evacuated tube systems being installed a couple of years ago and decided to try something along the line. I bought a bunch of the poly carbonate florescent light tube covers and used them to cover 1/2 inch black pipe. I had quiet a few lengths setup in the back yard and used a 12 volt pump to circulate the water through them and through a radiator I made out of CPVC in one of the bedrooms. With the heat vent sealed off in that room it kept that room about 8 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. (when it was a nice sunny day) Problem was that in the DFW area there just wasn't enough days that weren't partly cloudy to cloudy to make it work out. I wound up scrapping it, but wish I'd have saved it for down here now.
