Default Anyone know when Trane bought out GE?

Inspected a home today that had a GE Weathertron Heat pump on it. This was an old unit and I could not read the manufactors label. So I cna not tell the model number or serial number. Just trying to get an idea of how old the unit may be.

Not that I ever do the "how old is this" game, but in this case it is safe to say that that unit has had a full life.

I have a whole bunch of Hatch chilis in my freezer. I buy 100 pounds of Joe Parkers (chili type) every August. Yum Yum.

Now that's what I'm making for lunch tomorrow--chicken enchiladas with chile salsa from my very own garden (all ingredients) and chile, onion, maiz, and red bean salad.

We grow ours--about seven or eight different kinds of chile.

The mexican roofers that re-roof our house this week got about 5-6 pounds of (warm-hot) peppers out of there--
