re: Smart Thermostat for Home

Would Honeywell set up allow WiFi connection and ability to shut the system off remotely? My older Honeywell, very basic, (7 years old) doesn’t shut off if the pan fills with water. It shuts AC down but the blower keeps running. Not sure why. Would like ability to have it shut down completely or to turn it off if my pan water sensor goes off.

It’s great but that time of year would be brutal and not for the casual travelers. As the article describes, it is so remote that it could be dangerous with any mechanical trouble.
Watch out for water quality advisories. Just saw some posted for that area.

Following for VBW battle.
Does anyone know if the course in Arcadia La is still open?
I loved The Grove in Minden. Very nice and fun course built pretty much my the land owner who was in some type of construction business, possibly golf course construction.
There was a place on Airline Highway that carried flags suitable for military honors a few years back. Can’t remember the name. It was between Sherwood and Coursey on the East side from what I recall.
A friend who is in the real estate industry has 2 down there and told me even though he does rent them a good bit, he has always had to cut a check to make up the difference every months for 20 + years. I asked him the same question you asked.

The book is good but very different. It’s essentially the first two movies. Coppola and Puzo added a lot of content for the movies.
According to Colt’s website for serial look up, and assuming the 1911 is a Colt. Can’t see whether it is a Colt, but it seems odd it would have a duplicate serial number with another mfg for a 1911.

Serial Number Model Manufacture Year
2106676 MODEL 1911A1 MILITARY 1945

The kids would probably enjoy the Museum of Science and Industry.
