    Crank calls

    Are they saying anything or just ringing until answered? Be prepared - this is a 3-day weekend so the brats will not have school tomorrow.

    Look What I bought!

    Until 2016 (before cataract removal) I realized my eyes, fingers, & brain did not move at the same speed. I donated my baritone sax (had played bari in high school) to the Shinnston Community Band and they let me into the percussion section. I do not know what I am doing, just beating on the...

    Lisa Kolb Webinar - May be of interest here

    Our First FREE Webinar for 2023! Buyers & Sellers - What YOU Need to Know Just as no two marketing plans are the same, neither is the purchase or sale of an inn. Sellers must choose the right players to create the best-fit team based on specific needs, experience, and analysis. As you begin...

    Where to get innkeeping experience?

    In the early 70s I worked in the computer area of the Hyatt O'Hare second shift. They were already doing computerize check-in/billing/checkout. As charges were made, they created a card in the computer area. I worked second shift. Since I was single, if the 3rd shift (audit) was short-handed, I...

    Think Reservations or Little Hotelier?

    Add it. IF you take deposits, RezKey has the cc#.

    Trip Advisor Troubleshooting?

    The ONLY thing cc companies care about in regard to small businesses is how much they can gouge small business to pay for the "rewards" they give the card holders.

    Hot Water Question

    WV frostline is 32 inches. Our waterlines are buried 48 inches deep. We put our faucets on a medium to fast drip. We do not want to pay the water bill for more than that.

    Think Reservations or Little Hotelier?

    Exactly as JimBoone has said. What I will say about ReservationKey is that there are innkeepers in the UK who were looking to change what they had and I told them about RezKey as we call it for brevity. I know of several who use it now. Most take deposits (I do not), many have the credit card...

    Think Reservations or Little Hotelier?

    I use ReservatonKey. Have for more years than I can remember (as in when I started).

    Trip Advisor Troubleshooting?

    I hope you did a response to HIS slam before you dumped everything. A response of "Thank you for carrying through with your "blackmail" threat as you left without the refund you demanded. WE operate on a publish and be damned policy because our reviews prove our level of service."

    Season's Greetings

    Hope all had a wonderful Christmas (I was looking at a blank monitor). May ALL of you have a healthy 2023 and a 2023 that is as busy as you want it to be.

    Trip Advisor Troubleshooting?

    I took TA off my "IF you care to leave a review" Thank you for your Stay letter. I now just list Google & FB (do not like them either but that is where people are). TA has lost objectivity since it started gouging us for rank and other things. Yelp? would not waste my time.

    Hot Water Question

    It was -2 here, going up to +8, back down to -2 over Christmas Eve/Christmas and climbed into the teens yesterday. It is now a balmy +45. My usual save the waterlines routine when temps go single digits is to set my alarm to the time of lowest predicted temp, get up, start washing machine, go...

    Look What I bought!

    We had a power outage at 3-something AM Friday. Power came up at 10:55 - but my computer did not. thanks to Christmas, it took until about 2 hours ago to get it back. Stupid reason but since these things are delicate and I am ham-handed it was wiser to wait for the guru. At least my nightmare of...

    Finding a location

    Go to the governing body (city/county) Planning & Zoning, then Building Codes, then Fire Codes and get the answers IN WRITING. That will tell you up front. Check for water/sewer services - does it have city or will you need septic. Is septic permissible for a bed & breakfast (commercial)...

    Look What I bought!

    I decided to try to become more productive in the percussion section than just beating on the toys (sleigh bells, triangle, casaba, etc.) sp I bought this. A friend has offered to teach me how to play it too. My winter project.

    On the Menu Another Year

    It gets requested a lot because you cannot get venison just anywhere.

    On the Menu Another Year

    Wednesday my friend from the road we grew up on (Brooke County - the Northern Panhandle) called to ask how Thanksgiving went. While we were talking she said, "Davy was out hunting today to see if he could get you a deer - oh, he just went by and there is no deer on the 4-wheeler but he just went...

    I only feel slightly guilty...

    Chownings Tavern is better for lunch than dinner. But do not miss it. Kings Arms and Christiana Campbell's Tavern are both great. Took the kids to Christiana's back in the 70s and in 2018 when Mary was here from North Wales, took her to King's Arms (pricier than Christiana's). Each has a...
