Hmmmmm... My lawn needs mowing, but I have to wait for the last snowfall
to melt off first. And this is the middle of April. ,The farmers are
getting pretty bitchy about not being able to get in the fields too.
The Truckers are crabby because the companies are applying lower speed
limits to lower gas consumption per mile. Which cuts their paid for
miles salaries about 30%. I wonder how heated golf balls will work? I
think its time to secede from the Union. ;-p Any of you guys get invites
to Janna Bush's wedding?

What ever happened to global cooling predicted in the 70's ?
I guess we fixed it with greenhouse gases.

No, it just proves that the majority of these systems were installed by the
lowest bidder and rather than spend a few extra pennies for a proper trap,
they were either just too cheap, or too lazy to do it right.

The new systems won't last for 30 - 35 yearl like the old ones, but properly
installed and cared for, will last 20+ years. Nothing lasts forever.

Yes that is a problem with the ones in a plastic can, but I have not had any
problem with the ones in metal cans is standard resi type units.

Nothing to do with the heat, just the lessor manufacturers trying to use
cheaper quality parts to keep their costs down....same as any other
manufacturers. All those product recalls are not because they used the best
quality materials or parts.
