The spa that would not heat

Dear Family and Friends,
Ray has spent hours on the spa today but it will not heat, every time we get near to the heater coming on it blows the breaker. We've done all kinds of things to help it work but so far no luck. You would think with the warm weather the water would be warm on its own, its not at all. Cool nights keep it cold to the touch. I know Ray will solve it eventually, he is that kind of guy, tenacious.
Dana took Lady for a shot today. she paid $8.00 for it when our vet wanted $43 for the same shot but included a "visit". What a rip. Dana knows her way around finding deals, more power to her. she is set to leave us on Tuesday which is very sad. She is a kick to have around and she and Nikki are dangerous together. Keanna has had a blast with Anthony.
I'm wondering what this week will bring. I have no new orders, nothing to see. I have several to write up and ship out but at this point no new orders. It has finally come to this. It is amazing that non appraisers can decide things that totally destroy the relationships we've built for 20 years with clients, people who trust us to do our job well. Now they have to rely on no names who work cheap, quick and in many cases very poorly. If this was supposed to solve anything it is not doing so, only causing huge problems and destroying an industry of hard working people.
When government decides to solve anything, look out. Well meaning people working for government seldom do things better than the private sector.
This has been an interesting day. When Dana left to take lady to get her shots I left for Antioch and an appraisal assignment. The home was beautiful, perfect in every way and is selling with back up offers. Lets just hope they can get it through the lenders, that is a huge problem now.
Tomorrow we are off to 6 flags in Vallejo. It should be a great day.
Love to all
