Cant buy real dried fruit other than raisins. I'd have to do all the dehydrating myself.

Hose on hot water outlet burst in middle of night Saturday. That was fun. Good thing I get up to pee. Turned off well and heater to deal with in daylight. Got hose replaced. All good. Tiny trickle of hot water in faucets.
Drained tank yesterday and flushed. No improvement. Figured we'd need to...
Just busy around here lately. Dogs were cleared of their 2 weeks blood monitoring on Friday. So they were in the 30% of survivors after eating that skin cancer cream. Only because I took them straight to emergency vet when I caught them with it
