I'm performing an experiment tonight, I lowered the digital thermostat to 74F, the current temp at the thermostat is 76F, for months it was set at 79F, two times it turned on when the window a/c was on and set to 77F, it could be there is nothing wrong, beyond Me not being used to more than an analog thermostat, push the level back and the furnace gas valve would go click with the old thermostat which was discarded when the new digital thermostat was installed months ago.

I have good news, the gas furnace works, so any effort at repair is hereby canceled and I called the place and left a message that they don't need to come out to My place and that if I do need them I'll be sure to call. I just had the wrong settings due to Me not being used to the newer digital thermostat. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Chill morning win. Do you play golf Carlos? Found a interesting golf course caption picture. |

I do play golf from time to time. Far from good at it, but enjoy fund raisers. Are you talking about the fox hole in one? |

I could do a lot with $200,000, but $970 million? Probably $650 Million after federal taxes, which is ok with Me, or at least it should be, I'm not greedy. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

You could get a really nice furnace with that, Vic. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I could do a lot with $200,000, but $970 million? Sorry to disappoint you Vic. It's closer to $345.6 million after taxes. Oh and you could buy over 1.5 million homes in Adelanto. Median price is only $220,000. Bigger problem. There are not that many home in Adelanto. |

I could do a lot with $200,000, but $970 million? So not many live in Adelanto, less live here than there and I would not buy 1.5 million homes. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Just realized that the lottery prize after taxes is almost as much as a certain political leader was given by his farther. With a little effort the winner could be a future president... or retire to Costa Rica. |

If I won it, I'd pick a lump sum, taxed one time, it's 39.6%, at least according to this website, taxes would have been less in 2017. The calculator there only goes up to 10 Million. What a shame. $1,000,000,000.00-39.6%($396,000,000)=$604,000,000.00 Since I don't know what the exact amount is, this will have to do, the current led signs of course can't go beyond $999 Million. FDIC won't insure any money above I think $200,000.00, I'm not rich and never have been, so above that I have very few ideas. Buy an existing company or two or three? I don't know. Have a paid off condo or several condos and credit cards, pay off relatives mortgages, fix friends cars, help friends, establish a trust for the condos, have some plastic surgery done on Me, replace Seti's servers. Oh and I'd get a new car, a Tesla Model 3, continue work on the Escort zx2 and give that to some friends who need a car, and install a 75A level2 charger in a condo garage for Me.
