What are you feeding him?

Thanks everyone
Picked up one last night at Elite. They did have lots. Too bad I can't see him this morning. Hopefully he is hiding in my 200 lbs of LR.
Thanks

I agree. I have an Ice Cap fan and love it. They are more expensive but worth the cost. They have an automatic variable speed depending on the temperature (not adjustable) and are also silent.
