Tasks…

Tuesday - Regenerated the water softener today before moving it into the basement storage. Freezing temperatures are possible so I need to set things up for that and, unfortunately, that means no water softener. I need to figure out a good way to have the softener in the basement storage and still have it connected. 

The filter and pressure regulator have been relocated from the pedestal into the wet bay. And the heated water hose is in place. 

The pedestal has a drop light with an incandescent bulb plugged into a thermostatic outlet. The blue hose is the extra heated hose which will add some additional heat into this area. The whole pedestal is wrapped with fiberglass insulation and covered with a large plastic trash can. 

The NWS has issued a freeze warning for this country but I doubt it’ll reach those temperatures tonight. But, I was needing to do this anyway. 

Wednesday - New Years Eve. Bridget had a follow-up appointment in San Antonio. Afterwards, we went to Costco and Jason’s Deli. I love their salad bar. It’s one of the few around.

There was a New Years Eve party at the clubhouse with appetizers, games, and a lot of visiting. One person brought parisa, a local Medina county specialty. It is freshly ground, very lean beef mixed with cheese, jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, and lemon juice. Kind of like steak tartare but “Texi-fied”.
