No, not to the "Twinkie" or "Silver Twinkie" as boy 9 yr old son 
prefers.  I've driven a small steam truck and one of those large, 
belching behemoths and talk about adventure at slow speeds!

But, wouldn't it just tickle the neighbors to have a small steam engine 
with a generator on the end of it in the backyard?

Well, a novelty, but I'm not the ambititous to keep it going.  I'd 
rather "twinkerize" (thats work on, restore, modify, hobby of Leave me 
alone I'm working on my getaway home).  Several of us are checking out 
alternate energy.  But right now, the most cost effective if lots of 
insulation and good windows and doors.  But the A/S is teaching a lot 
about energy use, and really how little it can take if done right.

Now, to get that Steam show video done!
