technical question

If the pilot light on the heater keeps going out like minutes to hours after it's re-lit, does that mean it's time for a new heater?

Hopefully just an inexpensive repair. Or buy a sweater.

There are a couple of relatively easy things that it could be. I talked to Neil. He is going to stop by this evening after I get home from work and take a look and show you what it could be and how to possibly fix it.

I drove to Prospect today but I could pick you up at work if you want. I wouldn't be there until 4:45 or so though. Let me know.

So what did this end up being? Hopefully nothing major.

No one seems to know what's causing it. Fortunately it's been running fine for a week (even if I hate when it's on because it dries me out bad).
