And here I was looking forward to fabulous weekend for the remainder of my days.

You have a good one too. :)

Just in case anyone is wondering, all of this nonsense about passive solar houses and greenhouses, and living off the grid, are extremely pertinent to the future astronauts and colonists who will be moving out to the moons and asteroids of the solar system.

And here I thought you were designing a system so I could indulge my hermit like tendencies in modern comfort.

Comfort is relative.

If you were living on an asteroid, a million miles from anyone else, you'd still have a lot of chores to do.

I recommend investing in robots. They can do the chores, and you can live in comfort.

Just don't let them get to thinking, "Hey Guys! What do we need the boss for?"

And now for something completely different.

Freeper with attitude, and a knife creates a legend.

"Those ungrateful oil suckers! And after all I did for them."

Yeah!

Um, what did you do for them?

I oiled them of course.

When ever they started going "squeeky squeeky squeeky" I pulled out the ol' oil can and made sure they could continue their work in happy silence.

I even let them have an extra hour in the recharge station every Sunday. Oh I was the most generous of bosses.

Did I come back to the castle after everyone left to go partying tonight?

Looks like I missed everyone also.

The Party's over,...

Darn. Looks like it will be me and the tax books again on a Saturday night.

Actually, I'm still here. For a while, anyway.

How are you Tulip?

"When ever they started going "squeeky squeeky squeeky" I pulled out the ol' oil can and made sure they could continue their work in happy silence."

Kinda reminds me of a story:

It seems there were two robots toiling in the hot sun as they dug a trench. One robot paused in his labors, looked over where the boss was relaxing under a tree, and spoke to the other robot.

"Why is it we do all the work, and he relaxes under the tree?"

-- "Why don't you ask him?" The second robot responded.

"I think I will!" The robot climbed out of the ditch.

"Say, Boss. Why is it we are working out there in the hot sun, and all you are doing is relaxing here. Shouldn't you be working too?"

-"I am working, robot. I am supervising your work. The work you do requires strength and perseverance, and the work I do requires intelligence."

"Intelligence? What is intelligence?"

-"I'll give you an example." He placed his hand up against the tree. "Strike my hand."

"I am not allowed to hurt you, Boss."

-"Don't worry about that. I assure you I will not be harmed. Now strike!"

With a somewhat malevolent gleam reflecting from his optical receptors, the robot prepared himself. Pneumatic relays clicked, and his hand shot forward with tremendous force to impact the tree just as the man flicked his hand out of harm's way.

"But you moved your hand!" The robot observed as he picked splinters out of his finger joints.

-"Yes., of course. That's because I have intelligence."

Morosely, the robot ambled back down to the work area.

--"Well, what did he say?" His companion inquired.

"He said we work, and he doesn't, because he has intelligence."

At last the second robot stopped his mechanically repetitive work. "Intelligence? What's that?"

A wicked gleam glinted from the optical receptors again, as the first robot glanced around.

"I'll give you an example." Placing his hand nonchalantly in front of his face, he said, "Hit my hand!"

Took a while to write it.

I had to remove all the political uncorrectness.

Anxious to get settled for sure!
