The lady who was sitting next to me Tuesday evening recently installed 
(in coop with her neighbor) a windmill/solar_panel combo to power her 
rental home on Big Island.  I didn't get her name, but if she happens to 
see our messages here, I will really appreciate it if she could tell us 
what's going on.

On the electrician's license stuff, does anyone have any idea how long 
it will take before a plumber makes his house call?  (That is, if you 
are lucky to get hold of one.)  Wayne
