##Humor (poor): RE: [Lowfer] WA in Loooong Dash mode

Ralph...

Thanks, you read my mind.

Earlier today I wrapped the converter in several old Tee shirts. Then a
couple of layers of USA Today. That all fit snugly inside a small Styrofoam
cooler.

The drifts are down but the heat has not been cycling as much today.

We will see...
