Eric,

I'm in Texas, so heat isn't a huge problem, but I do need heat every now and
then. Actually the 911 engine puts out a pretty good amount of heat. I think
I'll be O.K. with what I've got. I just haven't gotten around to engineering
the heating system yet. It is the least of my worries.

Cheers,
Bruce
