This is K and 4 LBS, this is D. Good morning everybody. As always I wake up and give gratitude. And, you know, I actually want to get some medication this morning so it takes me an hour to go and an hour to come back from the location I have to go to. So, that's what I had to do. And electric bill, wow. I got an electric bill in February for almost $200. February, which is a pretty cool time for us here in Florida. And I said, that is impossible. So I went and took an experiment. What I did was I downloaded, which is TECO here that I have, their pricing rate period. So they have two rates. One for the summer, one for the winter. The high peak in the summer is the hours between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. So I made sure at this point in the summer that I do not use any electricity, the least I can, at that time. So me and my husband wash our clothes, our dishes in the dishwasher. Everything we have to use is done between evening and 6 a.m. in the morning, which usually we get up at 4 p.m. so we do our dishes and all that at that time. So my high peak last month was only $130, which we would have probably gotten a $250 bill if I didn't do the things that I do. So I'm playing with TECO's cards. And for winter, which starts in November through April, high peak is 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. So one thing I do advise is to download your pricing range and play with their cards. The other thing is, you know, I oh, hold on, let me one second. The other thing that I noticed, my friend, she has a pool, and she sent her automatic pool to heat it at night, in the middle of the night. Because she says I can't take it off for six hours. She has to run it for six hours or it won't go green. So she does that at night, which is pretty good. And the other thing that I do is anything that has a red, yellow, or green light that is on all day long, and when you turn off the lights, you still see it, that is five to seven months, 24 hours, one whole year. So what I have done, because we have a lot of lightning here, I've put in all my essentials, each room has one centralized strip, and when I'm not home, I turn everything off. And that has, like I believe Von, when I came in, Von said, you know, he doesn't like giving his money away, neither do I. I mean, I like to keep it where it belongs, in my pocket. So that's another thing, is looking around to see what's left on things, or five to seven months. And, you know, I turn it off, turn it off. Anyway, this is K and 4 LBS. Back to you. Back to the night.
