    lol, thank you for the sage advice.
    Unfortunately my sphere of influence does not exceed Northern Illinois. I don't get a say. When nobody can figure it out on their own they'll go to something different and if possible worse.

    The most important thing you gotta consider with a tankless is the minimum water flow it’s rated for. That’s actually important than the maximum water. If the minimum is too low it’ll shut off every time you try and use a faucet or even a shower for warm instead of hot water and that will frustrate the hell out of you. I.e. you turn on the shower water to full hot before you get in and once the hot water gets to the shower you turn it down and get in. Unbeknownst to you, when you turned the temp down the amount of hot water you’re using dropped below the minimum setting and the heater turned off so a minute or so after you get in the shower the hot water in the pipe runs out and you get an unexpected cold shower. Had one like that in my previous house. Whenever you took a shower during the summer months you would have to leave the hot water running in the sink so that there would be enough flow to keep the instant water heater from turning off.

    was in northern Wi the past 5 days, Minocqua area for those in the know ! what got my attention was all the Illinois license plates everywhere ! Almost as if they took over the north woods ! Almost completely taking over bars, restaraunts and walmarts ! O K So yes our northern business owners love the $ BUT !!! what happened to social distancing ? Shoulder to shoulder fibs everywhere, Wait awhile for the virus to take effect that they brought with them ! Seems to me in May the virus infection total was 2 in Vilas County, Wait just a bit it will skyrocket. maybe travel and crowding like this are the cause for the resurgence of the virus !

    When you have done so much paperwork that you find yourself staring at paper and a computer screen. Just staring for minutes on end without a thought in the world.

    Hate the fact that can be doin the simplest thing and then bam, something hurts or is gonna be sore now. Getting older sucks, and I'm not even really older yet.

    hahahaha
    I do that with food sometimes; just so I can tell myself at least I didn't eat it all. I have a thing about leaving two fries uneaten. One doesn't count; but two fries? That's restraint!

    FIBS, in the north woods, see lots of signs that say We do not care how you do it in the city.

    Not sure if this is a rant or best things in life. Yesterday I was back at the ranch for yet another day of the battle of clearing out. I had so much "stuff" in those 2 garages and yesterday I was finally able to do the last sweep out. I made great progress from the first day of feeling angst when the kids were chucking stuff in a dumpster. Yesterday I was able and of my own free will to throw away metal coffee cans. I only kept 1.

    So was down working on the pontoon, I had to readjust the ropes because it was too close to the rocks to slide the lower unit in, frustrating. Then I realized I needed a flashlight, go in my garage look all over and can not find my headlamp, frustrating. Out of desperation I go to the junk drawer in hopes of finding a working flashlight, and found my headlamp. Tried to turn it on the batteries are dead. F---. I then spent 5 minutes explaining to my wife that there are times when due to an accumulation of frustration the F word is warranted. Headed to town for batteries, frustrating.

    Human nature, put new batteries in the head lamp, of course I had to turn it on while looking at the bulb. It is a very bright headlamp self inflicted.

    Stuff breaking. Now it is our golf cart. I hate troubleshooting electric anything and now after dealing with this thing for a week, it is either the motor or the contol module. Sooo 300 or 500 bucks. Just dropped 900 on batteries. Frustrating frustrating frustrating!

    I used it liberally. Good restraint on your part, sir.
