    We are enjoying an early monsoon season.  The afternoon clouds boil up and are so elegant against our blue skies.  Other wonderful skies are waiting for you at Skywatch.

  2. Two Helpers Aren’t Helpful

    Addenda:  Thanks for reminding me, Dennis.  There is a rebate of up to $1500 for installing one of these tankless water heaters.  That will easily cover the cost of purchase and installation.

    Both Inca and Chase are at the office today.  Neither likes to share office duties, but there’s stuff going on at the house.  I am replacing my old water heater with a Bosch tankless (green) instant water heater.  It’s a cute little thing (10″ deep x 24″ wide x 36″ high) that hangs on the wall in the utility closet, has no pilot, and my brother (remember butt-crack pants) assures me will save about 30% on my natural gas bill.  So, the plumbers are at the house taking out the old, giant tank and putting in this cute little box.  The dogs like the plumbers.  Those guys are right behind the FedEx and UPS men on the fondness meter.  So the dogs make it difficult for them to work.  To limit the size of the plumbing bill, I brought Chase and Inca with me to work.  Inca is happy to simply snooze, but Chase wants her to play with him.  Periodically he lets out one of his high-pitched (annoy the neighboring tenants) barks.  It may be a long day.
