We had the fortitude to wander out into the world today, our own microcosm world that is.
Our event’s center, just over the bridge had its annual or bi-annual home and garden show, and our fishville, down the way from said center, had its ecological display show, combined they were both intoxicating enough to keep us entertained for over four whole hours!
Doesn’t take much I hear you all yelling!
I have one word to say to you, and it is …HA!
Hubby was primarily hoping to get a few more ideas on how to repair our leaky solar panels, since our usual method has stopped doing the trick, and a fine temporary trick it was, using E6000 adhesive.
But alas it no longer appears to work.
I have no idea if it’s just too many holes or the quality of them, but Hubby says we need to replace them, and boy that is not a cheap procedure!
But at the Eco Show over at Fishville today we may just have the right company for the job who just might be able to make our whole heating/air-conditioning, water heater and pool pay for themselves and pay us back too in the process with a federally funded solar system! To me, the skeptic it sounds too good to be true, but Hubby feels otherwise. And so he may have them come over to crunch the numbers on site, long as that’s a freebie its OK I suspect. The company is out of Sarasota and they are called Florida Solar Power: www.fspg.com, how original, now I ask you? If nothing else that makes them not difficult to remember. The absolute idea is to make enough power to sell back to the power company and receive a check back at the end of the year! The reality is though that we will not be taxed on the additional value this will increase our home to or even see higher utility bills. They could be as much as half of what we have now; see that’s why I said sounds too good to be true. They laughed when I mentioned when would we see it pay for itself…I kiddingly said that our sons will see it after we were long gone from this earth, and they did not disagree…well, we will see what we will see.
No harm to crunch the possibilities, since we have been told that there will be no out of pocket expenses either.
We did eat lunch at the fish market there at Fishville and again had a delicious meal with me having the crab salad and Hubby having a blackened Grouper sandwich with onion rings, iced tea with lemon for me and coffee for him.
So diner was simple back at home with just leftovers for sandwiches that hit the spot.
All in all the day was pleasant, who could complain, who would listen anyway! LOL
Good night to all and to all count those blessings and we will too!
