As I write this, all I can focus on is the pain in my right shoulder and the discomfort from numerous bruises all over my body and sore muscles. No, I'm not related to
MLK but I did wake up with a dream a few days back. I visualised three things in my sleep. Termites in our crawl space, flood lights in the front yard and an electrical outlet in the garage. Not just an ordinary electrical outlet but a 50 amp outlet that would support the AC in a motor home. What do all of these things have in common? Crawling on hands and knees the entire length of our house (multiple times) (in the crawl space) (did I mention how low, dark and close it was?). Was it worth it? The good news is
that a thorough inspection revealed no termites, we now have flood lights in the front yard and any of our motor homing friends (one in particular...you know who you are) that decide to visit and stay in our driveway will now have electric service and can't complain any more.

Study this photo carefully. Do you notice anything different about the bulbs? They're
LED's that are rated at only 5 watts each but produce light the equivalent of 90 watts of incandescent bulbs. While they're not inexpensive to buy, the cost of operating them dusk to dawn is only about 40 cents per month. They have a 40,000 hour life expectancy which is almost ten years of dusk to dawn use. Amazing!!
