We're in a little hot water..........

 We got our new tankless water heater today.  We have been without running hot water all summer and have been waiting to get "down south" and Baker RV Service to replace the old one.  It came out and the new one went in with no hitch.  In spite of costing about as much as our first born's hospital bill we are happy.  Of course it is taking a while to get used to it.






The first thing to remember is it takes a few seconds for the heater to come on and send your request.  The second is NEVER use the cold water faucet.  Hot water is based upon how fast it runs through the heater.  Turn the hot water on a little and you get really HOT water.  To cool down you turn on a little more hot water.  Based on washing the dishes this won't take long.  Showers tonight will be another learning curve.  I do know the propane bill will go down as it is only lit when you request HW from the faucet.

 I started keeping track of "outside" days this year.  Why?  Why not?  It might be interesting to actually have stats to look back on.  December 2010 was a month we sat outside all but 4 days.  Will this be an outside year or not?  Time will tell.  We are ending day 4 on The Alley and we have been outside 4 out of 4.  Woo-hoo!

Wiley is settling in and getting used to our lifestyle.  We have a lead on the front steps so he can wander around a little.  He is 6 months old and very quiet and "respectful".  Yeah, right.  He loves to lick and Wyn obliges him.  He also loves Sharon and sits quietly with his head on her foot. 


Sharon is beginning the kidney dialysis process.  They have to evaluate her tummy to see if it is appropriate for the site.  She also has to have training and hopefully she'll be able to do the inhome treatment.  She does not need it right now and hopefully will have a few months to prepare.  She was told 34(I think) years ago this day would come.  That's a long time to manage it. 

Barb and Frank left yesterday for Kansas and Amazon.  I wish them all the best in their 3 month journey of work.  Before she left she made valances for the office windows and SW'd matching table runners.  They are gorgeous.

I finished Whitney2's green SW afghan and have begun a new one in navy using an Ondori pattern.  The new camp host came and got some material and yarn today to begin learning.  Yup gonna be a great season.
