<p>As you folks are heading for [zzz], I am up for a couple of hours already. I am having a hard time to find the amount of sleep I need.</p> <p>Janie - a mug of extra strong coffee for me, please!</p> <p>I am really worried about Galaxy. I had sent him a PM a few days ago, but did not get an answer. I don´t have his email address, so PMing is the only way we can try to reach him. I am sending a few [angel] his way!</p> <p>Ray - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fireengineering.com/articles/print/volume-162/issue-1/features/the-impact-of-solar-energy-on-firefighting.html"><b>here</b></a> is a bit of reading on the impact of solar energy on firefighting. Before you get those panels installed, do check with your local fire department and your insurance company. Insurance risk managers in Germany predict the home owner´s insurance premiums to double or even triple in the next years due to the hazards fire fighters encounter. While the panels do not increase the fire hazard, special care has to be undertaken when trying to extinguish a fire in a home equipped with photovoltaic panels. In most cases, fire departments are not prepared for this type of "electric" fire, so they just let the buildings burn down in a controlled way.</p> <p>Have a nice day!</p> <p>Edit: Ken - I am rooting for you to win the lottery! [swg] We need to work on that track plan, though. There is a serious reach issue on the lower left side, which needs to be addressed.</p>
