HVAC question: secondary heat source with heat pump?

For those that have a heat pump system, how does it run in the summer? How does it handle our winters?

Need to replace my furnace and AC system, perfect time to look into installing a heat pump. Company im talking too says i still need a secondary heat source for those bellow zero days. I can understand that. They say go gas secondary, as an electric backup (heat strips) would cause my energy bill to be $1000. That doesn't seem right.

What energy bills have others experienced in Iowa with your heat pump setups?

Dynamically rename worksheets upon opening workbook

I have a workbook I'm creating that will handle a repeatable task (first worksheet is tables/graphics, second worksheet is formulas/calculations, next 5 worksheets are newly imported data). I want the imported worksheets to be dynamically renamed in accordance to text in cell A2 in order to simplify formula references and functionality.

VBA Code I have so far:

ThisWorkbook()

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
   Dim i As Long
   Dim rawname As String
   Dim modname As String

   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   For i = 3 To 7
      Call TabName(Worksheets(i))
   Next i
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Module1()

Sub TabName(ws As Worksheet)
   With ws
      rawname = Range("A2").Value
      modname = Split(rawname, ":")(0)
      ActiveSheet.Name = modname
   End With
End Sub

When I open the workbook, it will only rename the active worksheet, and not increment to all other worksheets. I can make a new one active, save, close, reopen, and it will rename it. I've struggle with automatic dynamic worksheet renaming macros in general, definitely misunderstanding a process within excel and/or vba. I can add running macros upon opening workbook to my list of misunderstandings.

So basic parts I'm looking for a solution for:

- Activate a macro upon opening workbook

- Properly increment said macro to multiple worksheets within workbook

Smoked all the meats last weekend

Last weekend I fired up the smoker for first time in over a year. Difficult to find time previously with one kid and now we have two, glad I made it work. Oldest is getting the hang of eating ribs so he enjoyed it.

From left to right: pork shoulder, pork loin, pork ribs. Need to remember to take after pictures before eating occurs (pork loin only example)

Any woodworkers/carvers looking for Linden Basswood for projects?

Have a big Linden Basswood tree that will be taken down on our property due to leaning and constant big branches falling from storms. Don't know how valuable the wood is or if its desirable. Just trying to see interest and/or options. Already have tree removal company hired so don't need that.

Storm damage and power outage

Was there really that much damage to cause a significant power outage? Ive only seen typical twigs and branches on the ground.
