Sorry if it seemed I was bashing you, was just trying to make the points about what I was saying clear. Sometimes I don't sound as polite and friendly in these typings as I mean it. Hard to tell a persons attitude when reading text, the spoken word is much easier.

My apologies!
The part about the 220v and 3 phase was meant to be joking, not insaulting, so were a couple other things, again my apologies.

Yes I know Vegas is expensive on lots of things! Been there, done that!
Lauflin,NV (however it's spelt) is somewhat cheaper and only about 90 miles away

Ya, if your to close to VEGAS I suppose I could see your power problems!
With all those casino's and the strip eating power like that I wouldn't be too suprised if a toaster had problems at times
But that is not a normal or average case in general.

I like the desert and the colorado river is pretty nice too, and close!
I don't mind a 100 mile drive. Been thinking about getting a desert place myself, but not too close to a big city.

I was reffering to the WHOLE USA in general, whereas you were replying about just Las Vegas I geuss.

As far as seaming to be a know it all, perhaps I can come acrossed that way at times unintintionally. If I could learn to spell and type better it would help
For about the last 20 years or so, while everyone I know is sitting in front of a TV rotting thier brain 5-6 hours at night I have been actively engaged in various projects. To each thier own, everyone likes thier own thing!

I read books and surf the net getting information on other hobbies and projects I would enjoy also.
From building my own windmills, making my own charcoal, blacksmithing, producing methane gas to run a small engine, I know alot more than many people. But I do not claim to know it all, ever.
My last batch of home brewed desiel fuel came out milkey and I don't know why It did burn ok though, but not right.

Nothing wrong with watching TV, that's what most people do!
Personally I watch a movie on tape or DVD once in awhile and that is good enough for me. I don't even have a TV hooked up now, watch the movies on the 3 computers I've built myself and family. I installed capture cards in them all for that purpose. Again, just what ever a person or family prefers.

So while my friends are relaxing with TV, I am getting hands on experience at something or learning to do something new.
They never have time for anything because their favorite show is comming on. Yet they call me to ask why something doesn't work, or if I will fix it for them. So I guess in my circle of friends I am kind of the know it all, they know it, so I am the one they always call for free service or advice

I certainly do not know it all though! I was totally baffled and confused recently in a conversation about Thermal Necluleur Fusion! But I do know how to sepereate Water back into Hydrogen and oxegen for small scale fuel, or to float a ballon

Knowledgable, but not a know it all
