Tuesday, August 6, 2024 – Not Much Done Today

Hey Darlin',
Well, the plan was to ride at 10:00 this morning, but it was very cloudy and sprinkled a couple of times, with a promise in the forecast for more rain this afternoon, plus it was a bit on the chilly side, so in the end, we decided we weren't in the mood. Even though the repair guy said he wouldn't be here until afternoon, I didn't want to take any chances, either. As it turned out, it didn't rain more in the afternoon, and the repairman didn't show up at all. When I finally texted him at 5:15, he said he wasn't coming today, but would definitely be here on Thursday. Sigh... So I didn't do much today except a load of laundry, but one remarkable thing that happened, I FINALLY found proper instructions on how to adjust the thermostat on my electric fireplace!! This has plagued me ever since I bought this trailer. I never had a remote for it (not sure it even had one, can't find that little infrared eye you usually see with a remote), and I could never find out what make it was, or find a manual for it, or any information at all. I even took pictures on my phone of the model number, and still couldn't find anything, for years! Finally today, on a whim, I asked the generic question again, and lo and behold, a Youtube video popped up showing the exact same front panel as mine, and specific instructions on how to control EVERYTHING!! FINALLY!!! I was able to adjust the temperature down a bit, which is all I wanted. It had been set at 72, which would normally be okay, but up in the bedroom above the gooseneck, it would get to about 85 degrees before it shut off, since the thermostat was so far away. Now I set it at 69 to see how that goes, and I now know how to change it if that doesn't work out. Wow! I love it when a long overdue issue is finally resolved!! Yippee! Had another Larry-prepared dinner of spaghetti and sausage with garlic bread, took another walk with the dogs, spent the evening chatting with Patsy, and planning a busy day tomorrow, as it may be the only good day for riding we're going to get. A hurricane named Debby has passed over Florida, hitting the center of the state again, and is creeping up the east coast, arriving here Thursday night, and calling for heavy rain all day Friday and Saturday, apparently. Since the repairman will be here on Thursday (fingers crossed!), that leaves only tomorrow, which is also the Farmers Market we want to go to, and running into town to pick up some flooring material, which I figure I'll need for the bathroom once the woods replaced, and horse feed. So a busy day tomorrow! Which is why I'm having my tea and heading to shower and bed soon! Good night, baby! Love you!
