Not something I wanted to see while in Florida. Problems with my brand new Water-Furnace geothermal system. The geothermal heat pump locked-out with a freeze detected in the recirculating loop, and the system switched to emergency electric/resistance heating.
I began the day early at Fort De Soto park with my brother to watch the sun rise under the Sunshine Skyway bridge. The sky was just starting to show some signs of light when we arrived. There was a line of clouds above the Skyway bridge, and it looked promising for the sun to come up under the clouds. I set up two cameras, one with a 16 mm wide-angle lens, and one with a 500 mm telephoto lens to do time-lapsed sequences of sunrise.

USPS 2006 X-Plane Express Mail Stamp (Canceled). I had never seen this stamp before. It was the postage on the express mail envelope that contained my renewed passport. Image taken with a Nikon D2xs and 105 mm f/2.8 mm macro lens (ISO 800, f/10, 1/60 sec, flash).
Still no power to the house, but PSE&G were in the neighborhood working on downed trees and power lines.
