I blame it on the drugs. :)

I was fine on in the car section. Slightly below average.
No problem at all on the flight section since I haven't flown anywhere
in about 3 years.

The house section blew it all to smithereens though. Guess I'll have
to make out a check, payable to AGORE.

How many furnaces and AC units does that monster house have?


Just one furnace with 12 zones. Three large A/C units plus a smaller, ton
and a half unit for the barn garage. I put that in to control humidity
more than to cool it.

Surprisingly, it's really not bad expense-wise to heat or cool considering
the square footage unless you have an unusually cold or hot month. The
house is very well insulated.

The meter starts to spin when we start using the pool heater though. It's
also electric and is rated at something like 140,000 BTU/hr. We'll back
it off a bit this year, I think.

My pool heater was gas, and when you ran that sucker, the 2cubic ft. needle
on the meter looked like the front of a Cessna. I use Solar, and works well
for the pool.
