As long as it stays under 70 I'm okay.  :)  80 gives me a headache and 90 makes me nauseous. I don't even want to know what happens at over 100. My head might explode like the guy in the Scanners movie.

I had that scene on a loop as an avatar on another forum several years ago.

The special effect was done with a shotgun to the dummy's head. A real head isn't that bad when blasted with a shotgun. I've seen it as an avatar at another forum too. Mine's a picture of real shrunken head.  8)

No, it was a (now defunct) motorcycle forum.

I changed my other post. No use talking about that place.

"The recent snow and ice storms in the northeast left hundreds of thousands of residents without power. In Harvard, Massachusetts, however, one Prius owner found a way to keep the lights and electricity going by using his hybrid as a backup generator.

John Sweeney ran his fridge, freezer, wood stove fan and even his television and lights using his Prius for three days while the power was out in his town. By using an inverter to convert the car's DC power supply into household AC, Sweeney was able to generate 120 volts

The New York Times wrote about this a year ago. The battery in the Prius is able to provide an uninterrupted power supply as long as the engine turns on and off periodically to recharge it. Any car battery can be used this way, but only hybrids start automatically when they need to recharge their battery. As long as the Prius has enough fuel, it can produce three kilowatts of continuous power. That's enough to maintain the basic household electrical needs.

After three days, Mr. Sweeney's Prius used up a mere five gallons of gas to power the electricity in the Sweeney household - a bargain and a real smart grid solution."

A really expensive battery but pretty bright idea! 8)

New marketing genius. As well as being good for the environment, the Prius is a survival tool.

Works better as a back-up generator than it does as a car.

I'd need 5 Priuses (Prii??? lol) 4 for the 12kw heat pump, the other for everything else.

Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.
