Awake: 5:47am     Temp 43      sleep 5+54      fog then light drizzle     overnight @ Nicktown.

After our KK meeting, K & I visited the local Krumenacker Hardware store, looking for another small ceramic heater that we had for about (4) yrs that quit working earlier this yr.

I bought that heater @ the Krumenacker store but it was a rebuilt & greatly reduced in price. I called the Pelonis Company in Malvern, Pennsylvania but they don't have the parts to repair & their factory is well, read the latest from Google:

BUFFALO, N.Y.-A federal district judge here has ordered Del-Rain Corp. in Niagara Falls, N.Y., to cease selling or promoting Pelonis space heaters. The court also ordered Del-Rain to pay Malvern, Pa.-based Pelonis USA Ltd. more than $4 million for breach of contract and legal fees.

Del-Rain has filed a notice of appeal and obtained a restraining order in a New York state court to stay the order. A hearing on that order is scheduled for Nov. 6. At issue is who owns rights to the Pelonis name. The conflict dates back a dozen or more years through a chain of events, including closed and bankrupt companies. Del-Rain actually was the plaintiff beginning in 1994.

Anyway, that rebuilt box heater was GREAT! So I started my ceramic heater search by looking @ some of the ones available in the hardware store. I asked Herm what he thought about the available subjects; he shook his head a little & told me that they haven't displayed their winter products yet, but to follow him & he would show me a few that are a little higher rated.

Oh my gosh! In the basket was a brand-new, never been used, Pelonis ceramic heater. Bingo! We have our ceramic heater once more. DSC00054.JPG In lieu of warming the entire room or for that matter, the motorhome by using a lot of amps, we can warm up a comfortable area & use a lot less amps.

After breakfast, we took a tour of our house project & found that all of the geo tubing has been finished in the basement.

DSC00029.JPG Mid evening, neighbor & buddy, Barry called: he is setting up a rendezvous @ the Nicktown bar for tomorrow evening for some of our classmates we haven't seen in awhile. K & I definitely approved of this invitation.

Dinner: Beef vegetable stew....very good on a cold night.

Late evening, Melissa called; she updated us on the boys & their activities. We haven't talked to or visited them for awhile & she told us the boys don't ask about us any more!

Whoa, that's not good! Well, we have a solution that might work temporarily; we will visit them & join in their activities this Saturday & Sunday, but we do want to continue watching & paying attention to our home without wheels.

Lights out: 12:02am.
