That's not the first time a Potter got pigeon holed.
Note: I'm not 100 percent sure what that really means, but it sounded kinda
funny to me. Ya' see, some of us get a little aggressive when we've had a
drink, some of us just get plain stupid. I don't get aggressive.

Gang,
Great ideas, lights and fans! I just realized I have an fan that came out of
a
computer. 120 volt, made to run forever (continous cycle) and not very big.
I
think I'll rig that this winter to blow past a small light bulb to stir some
warm
air around in the boat which will be stored in the barn. Last winter left it
open. No problems, but the pigeons did nest in the rode locker. YUK! I'll
stop
up that hole this year.
