I live in the South.... we don't get cold.... taking the moisture out of the
air is the other consideration down here... and with A/C it's kinda neat
cause the air compressor gets inside air.... so the idea of a separate tank
and bathroom thing is working on the front side...
Karl... I love your list of toys.... especially the Amphicar and the J3
I was one of the first instructor pilots in the Ah 64 Apache and flew
Cobra's for many years before that.... I've only flown in a J3 once and it
was a dang hoot...
