Periodic puppy pics

Here's Callie on our way home from Tuesday morning's walk. She was happy because we cut through some woods on the way out. She likes the woods where she can follow the deer paths and smell all the good smells along the way.

I'm looking toward our little hamlet with the river valley behind. Callie's looking back at me.

I'm having one little problem with our new programmable wireless thermostat. I've noticed that every day, at around the same time, the unit drops its connection to the boiler's receiver. Once or twice it's reset itself, but most times I do a manual re-set which involves going down to the boiler, removing the unit cover, and pushing a button. I do this twice, because the unit will usually drop the connection a second time within a few minutes. But, after the second reconnection, it holds for the next twenty-four hour cycle. Then, the next day, the same failure occurs at around the same time. Is a puzzlement.

I realized that this was a "pattern" yesterday, so I'm waiting today for around 10:00 to see if it happens again. I'm not sure what to do about it. I may try to reset the unit to factory defaults and see if that solves it. Otherwise, we'll have to call the installer back.

  1. How irritating. I really annoys me when things that are brand new don't work properly, or at least not the way you expect them to. I hope you get it sorted out soon.

  2. I know that look on her face. I used to get the same one from Sallie... it's the "come on Dad, lets go" look. Good luck with the remote.

  3. Out of curiosity, I googled. I found this de-dietrich.justanswer.com, which looks like you may be able to ask your question in English. I did not find any previous references to "de dietrich thermostat d'ambiance sans fil se déconnecte"

  4. Oh, the price of technology. It sure can be a pain, but then we forget how much more difficult it could be before we had it.

  5. jean, you're right about that. But we have a service contract and a guarantee, so we should be alright.

    stuart, was she a border collie, too?

    ellen, thanks. I've looked as well and haven't really found any answers on line.

    judy, me too!

    mitch, very true. I"m hopeful that this is just a minor thing, easily (!) corrected.

  6. We call Sallie's breed a "je ne sais quoi"... but she looked like a small collie and was about the same size as a border collie. And she did try to herd me from to time to time, so maybe there was a little in her ancestry.
