It had been several years since I met my brothers up in the mountains to fish the beautiful streams and rivers of that region.
My dad was the one who instilled the love of nature in all three of us.
Being the youngest, I felt that I was always trying to catch up to my brothers on those trips. Yet, my dad was always so great about making sure that he got us out of the air conditioning of home and up to the cabin whenever he could. That cabin was one of the prides of my dad’s life. It didn’t have any sort of residential HVAC. It was just so basic. There was a pot bellied stove for heating during the winter trips. But we didn’t go up there all that much in the winter. My mom just didn’t like us being up there with the possibility of getting snow in for a long time. I think dad sort of relished the idea that he’d get stuck up there and would have to rely on the heating of a wood stove as opposed to the gas furnace at home. So when I finally agreed to meet my brothers at the cabin for fishing, I was stunned to see all the changes. They had installed a ductless heat pump so we had HVAC cooling at night after a long day in the sun. The HVAC equipment upgrades weren’t the only improvements either as we now had an indoor toilet as well. My brothers did a great job and it was such a surprise for me. I’m looking forward to getting up there and enjoying that new ductless heat pump as much as I can going forward.
