    And the joys of winter solar farming strike again with a 0.26 O's today. On the bright side we've seen no covering of snow on the panels so far this winter(not like last year) so are at least generating something....not much....but something...

    Did you make a 'clean' joke as it was a dishwasher, and you felt a 'dirty' joke would be wholly inappropriate?
