Recycling has been working its way into being a buzz word for the last two generations, but I want you to know that cats have been recycling for thousands of years. Nothing on the planet can recycle loose pelt hair into hair balls faster than a feline! Coming in at a close second to me…

Veteran. An experienced soldier or former member of the armed forces. When I hear the word, I think of an older gentleman who has seen combat (and, knowing how I can be during my doctor visits, I’m wondering if the word “veterinarian” wasn’t coined based on what I put the doctor through). All joking aside,…

I’m like most people – maybe even just like you (except I’m better looking). I hate going to the doctor. I realize that this feeling does not make me unique – on the contrary, this bandwagon is squatting under the weight (literally) of those who have hopped on. But I believe I may have a…

The Pacific Northwest has a lot to offer – ocean beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes and a climate that’s perfectly suited to maximizing the performance of a heat pump. While there are many types of heat pump units, the two most common types are ducted and ductless. Ducted heat pumps have been around for over 60…

It’s with mixed emotions that I say goodbye to Jenny – sad because Jenny has been my Mamma since I arrived at Day Heating four years ago. She cooked for me (okay, she opened the can and fed me), she cleaned up after me and she entertained me (nobody can toss a kitty treat onto…

I think it’s definitely time to share some more feline wisdom. If I go too long, you may go into withdrawal, and we wouldn’t want that to happen! As I was taking a bath the other day (I guess I’m kind of like Timex – I take a “licking” and keep on ticking), I was…

Last time my excuse was holiday over-eating. This time I’m going with “I couldn’t get to the computer because of the flooding”. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. But now that we’re dry(er), I’m out of excuses (well, I do have “The dog ate my keyboard”, but I was saving that one for…

I gotta say that Christmas was worse on my expanding fur pelt than Thanksgiving was, but it was a good time for the family to get together and pay attention to me. During the holiday I heard a lot of stories told – some of them quite nostalgic. I thought I would share a few…

Just a quick reminder that many incentives change or are eliminated at the end of the year. If you are waiting on having a project installed, make sure you check and see if there are changes in the incentives. Federal geothermal tax credits are not supposed to be changing until after next year, but with…
