Moderators dtel Posted August 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2016 Good news, at the rate I drink coffee I should never have a problem. Cigarettes are another subject I don't want to talk about trying to quit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2016 It's a little rare to find a good online company, usually I am happy if they ship and what arrives is what I ordered. Just wanted to say the online company Sweetwater operates as I would want it if I owned it. It's a company out of Indiana who sells about anything you could want as a musician or DJ or anything to do with sound. I had to order something and they had the same price as everybody plus a better warranty and free shipping, 2 year warranty on almost everything they sell. They ship fast and even sent an email a few day's later and even called after that to make sure everything was shipped without damage and we were happy with what we ordered. I have never see a company do all of this to make sure the customer is happy, it's a nice change. http://www.sweetwater.com/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, both my BIL and SIL quit smoking after smoking for 30 years by using Chantix. My SIL had some freaky weird dreams but my BIL had no ill effects. Both have now been smoke free for about eight years. Might be worth a try! Tim 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that it works, but have heard some horror stories that made smoking sound like an easy choice. One story was from someone I completely trust, he also said it gave him bad dreams and even worse mad him think crazy things while awake, like wanting to cause serious harm to people close to him, really bad............but he did quit smoking and did not have to go to prison. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Cooling as I type. 90 degrees electronic dry bulb temp 3' from outside unit with 67 degrees at bedroom register. Tech not satisfied with return line temp and will return in a couple of days to see how it equalizes. I can't speak highly enough about how these guys went about their business for 7 hours in the attic and in spotty showers; they cleaned up a lot of original builder's contractor junk, hours sealing air leaks. Hint I was given: turn off outside unit (pull the disconnect) while weed eating / mowing nearby so debris is not sucked into condenser coil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete H Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 17 hours ago, Tigerman said: Hey there Pete, and since you asked, YES, Chris and I have been to Biltmore! We go down to N.C. every year about this time, and in fact, are leaving Monday, on the road at 4am, and drive straight through (about 13.5 hours if no construction). Did you note the wine tasting at the estate ?? OR, the performance stage? We STILL have some wines from the boutique and Bruce Hornsby was the performing artist. What a scene.. Hope you have a great trip! Denise doesn't really drink but we did the wine tasting while we were there and there was a nice Riesling and one other one that I really liked, but there's no evidence left that I purchased a bottle. The day that we were there, Rick Springfield was performing that night with Night Ranger and the Romantics, but I had no desire to see it, now Bruce Hornsby, I would have for sure. Planning another trip down around Christmas and would like to spend a couple of days on the property to explore things a lot more in depth. Time for the next 20 oz cup of DD 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 The Biltmore is a treat at Christmas. Julia and I went there many years back. We stayed at a b&b in Asheville.....actually had the room Sandra Bullock had stayed in while filming 28 days 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
