FIXED

Our solar pool heater has been off for two weeks—a leak.

I called the company who, when they arrive, are very good at fixing these things.

The problem is that they are in Temecula and we are in Palm Springs.

Let me put it this way.

When I return home from San Diego I turn off the 15 at Temecula. Going over the mountains.

90 minutes, maybe. It depends on who you get behind on the grades.

So, this is not the first destination they think of when they put together their maintenance calls for the day.

I called today to nudge them and the manager told me I had a message!

It said that they fixed the leak on Friday.

News to me.

I went out and have run it for almost two hours and it seems OK.

Good thing.

I was losing the heat.

So now, starting tomorrow we will be on the upswing again.

Gotta get it warm for the guests due here the 13th and the 18th. Two sets.

Amd then there are the easterners who are arriving Thanksgiving week.

The process starts now.

I'm not kidding. I will watch it every day and, when necessary add the pool cover at night.

We take our pool temps seriously out here.

Life in the slow lane.
