Learned that a hot water heater has a "vacation" setting as the hot water was out last night. The previous owners were in Brazil the entire sale and I get the feeling they have been out of the house for some time. I knew it was likely a small fix as I turned on the dishwasher and Megan had taken a shower. Lots to learn, but it's quite fun (and really low stress actually). 

Picked up my bike from the shop. They were busy, which was good. I told them to take care of other customers as I was flexible and could wait. 

Programmed the Nest thermostat and Comcast had come earlier as we were unable to get the internet going. Managed to get those devices talking.

PM: 3.9-mile walk w/ Megan. HR 78.

We walked around the subdivision a bit and then tested some different areas to cross the road as the beginning of the trail is not well placed for traffic and visibility.

I messed with the thermostat toward the end of our walk to test the app. Digital technology is freaky but I can see how this particular instance might be useful.

Glad the move is going well. Lots to learn with owning a house, good and bad but mostly rewarding. Hope you and Megan are both feeling well.

Welcome home!

Thanks, Jeff. I am enjoying the learning process and trying not to get frustrated with things as the house is in immaculate shape.

I hope you and family are doing well.
