Hi Tim,
thanks for that - obviously I have to make not-white and illuminated
letters XRT to make them visible.
Here is 2 years old satellite image from our place - Koivuniementie *69*
Lempl Finland. Apron and twr
has been built afterwards. Europa Factory is the uppermost building. You
can see our pool under the word "tie" [road].
The pool is covered to make it cleaner and more economical. During blue
sky days,
the covers are sliding away. We heat it by water-air heat pump to keep
it continously +32C.
Max power is 20kW. When it goes below +30C, we let it freeze. That means
its
usable from Mars-April to November-December. You see the sign behind?
And red light?
Im pretty sure you like this!
And also this.
We need it to remember, that there is a beer tap inside. During spring,
we install one beer barrell there. When its empty, we connect the tap
to the fresh water (wifes order!).
This is a typical summer-temperature-set up here:
Pool (Lagoon, green) +32C
Pool area when coverred (Caribbean, orange) +21C (max +48C!!!)
Air (Finland, white) +14C (max below +30C in shadow)
River (Lake, blue) +15C (max below +26C)

About climate change, I heard today that there will be jackals in
Finland soon.
Maybe kangaroos and one day Kiwi-birds also as well as opossums.
Massey University Aviation College sounds fantastic!
I have to give a tip to my older daughter...
Yes, all the best and earthquakeless time for you.
Keep cold!
Cheers,
Raimo
Finland
PS: this was not so Europa-related posting. However, its because
Europas. Sorry...
And yes, you all can order FB beer from us!
- only beer in the world brewed to aircraft standards by pilots to
pilots and also to normal people...
