NB>> You can keep that sort of weather...!! (or give it away, but not to NB>> me... [g]) Thankfully worst we've had is highs in the mid 80s... :) BM> Well the good news is the feels-like part is cooler: only upper 80's/ BM> lower 90's. And today we have a high of 69ø, just a bit on the cool side... but it's cooling down the house nicely, so when the temps go back to near 80 in the next few days, the house will still be nice... :) BM>> As for Halloween here, generally cool and sometimes cold enough one BM>> has to figure out how to get the costumes over the coats. NB>> Or turn the coats into part of the costume... ;) It's also often NB>> wet here... puts a bit of a damper on things... ;) BM> (Pun fest!) ...Autumn hasn't mentioned anything about Halloween - BM> that's a l-o-n-g time away! From her perspective, anyway... And she's likely less influenced by the displays already going up in the stores.... ;) NB>> And we often help it along with the window fan in that window NB>> blowing the air into the house... :) But mostly, yes, it's the NB>> idea that counts... ;) And fresh air does make a difference... :) BM> Downstairs (the first floor) we've never done window fan; couple of BM> the rooms have a ceiling fan but that doesn't pull air in from outside. BM> Do have a window fan up here. No ceiling fans here, and I don't think we've used window fans downstairs either... just the exhaust fan in the bath... ;) We've been here now for over 40 years... if we did use fans downstairs ever, it could have been in the early days here, so I don't remember any more... I know that at one time, we did open windows downstairs, but that was a while ago, too... :) BM>> Yes, generally taking care of the obvious problem first is best! BM>> Knock on wood no problems with the cars here lately. NB>> Likewise here... although my clutch is trying to go now... so far NB>> I've been able to baby it along, but just in case, I'm renting a car NB>> for my trip to NC next week...

That's what I figured... I pick up the car tonight, and leave tomorrow morning... ;) BM> I know nothing about manual transmissions other than push in and BM> move the lever around. I don't really know much more than that... ;) I've just driven a manual for many years now... :) ttyl neb ....
