End of summer with no real trips so we are gonna go up to NC to Deep

two weeks from completion so will be using the tent (this is tent #4
and is almost worn out).
My wife is taking me to California and I hear the water in Tahoe is
pretty cold. I don't plan on jumping in anyway.


I experienced some cold water this evening.


the water heater in the garage quit last week so until I get a new
heating element, after work showers are a bit nippy.


I bought one of those tankless water heaters and still have it in the
box. *It's tiny and mounts on the wall so I will gain some space in the
garage. *My conventional unit is 12 years old and could die any day.
The problem is the wiring. *I have to get a nice, non-union, electrician
to run some fat wires about 15 feet to run it. *I don't mess with
anything above 120V.


a contributor here in reek.boats and I were talking about those a few
days ago.

His is operated with gas, though.

I'm investigating the on-demand heaters though. sounds better than
cooking water 24/7
