Just then he noticed a gorgeous woman lying on the grass under a shady tree, stark naked. He walked up and asked her if she was game and she said she was. . . So he shot her. -- Edited by Mi...

I plan to replace as much 240 volt equipment that I can and replace it with 12/24 volts. The exception will be the fridge. Is this a go...
