Seeing to how it has been almost a month since you read the slinkies post, we decided it was time to fill you in on the happening of the inn yet again, starting with our misadventure of last night.
Time Stamp: 9:00 PM
Lon is in bed, slowly drifting off to sleep, when suddenly, his phone rings loud and clear. Wearily, he picks it up, knowing that a call this late at night will not be about whether or not he won the lottery. It's the inn, calling to tell that they have no hot water. As one might assume, this is slightly problematic. And so, Lon gets out of his nice warm bed, changes into jeans, a t-shirt, and work boots, and clomps downstairs. He takes his daughter's phone and leaves his at the house, and then drives over to the inn.
Time Stamp: 9:12 PM
Lon arrives at inn. Can't believe that guests aren't happy when they don't have hot water. He apoliges to all the expectant faces at the front desk and heads to the boiler room.
Time Stamp: 9:18
Lon relizes there is no way to fix the hot water heater easily. Heads upstairs, calls maintenance technician. Technician says he'll be there ASAP. Lon writes a letter apoligizing to guests.
Time Stamp: 10:00ish
Technician arrives, takes a look at the hot water heater and announces it will be at least an hour before it's fixed, and another hour before it makes enough hot water to do any good. Lon hits head against wall (not really, but it does make the story more interesting...).
Time Stamp: 11:30 give or take a few minutes
Heater is up and running, rumbing and bumbling about it's business.
Time Stamp: 'O dark 30 (12:30)
Finally, enough hot water to let people take showers. And so, Lon goes home, and climbs back into bed, only to be up again at 6 to make sure that the water still works in time for morning showers. It does.
As per the other adventures, we'll be working on adding more of them as time goes on, so don't forget to check up on us!
