    My water heater started leaking over the weekend. It was only seven years old, but I suppose since the warranty was six years, I shouldn’t complain? Anyway, I installed my new water heater today, so I can shower again. This one has a 12-year warranty, it might out live me.

    I just took a shower, I feel great. I’ll be going for a walk around sunset. It’s been a good day.

          PSA: is the ceiling above your heater low? Check the clearance and make sure the new rod can stand straight up to get into the heater. You can buy segmented rods to avoid this problem.

          Don’t ask how I know.

      Damn, I forgot the hose in the pool for 4 days. Luckily I turned the faucet off…damn I forgot to turn the faucet off too. Fawk!

      I resolved a long-standing issue at work today by realizing it’s not an issue and the client is stupid. Also I bought OPEN 9/12 7c today. It’s been a GREAT day!

      I dunno, if it fails one year after the warranty and they’re happy to sell you a new one that seems a little suspicious. I’ve been dealing with an iffy pilot light on mine so hot showers are a luxury again, I’m in an apt but if you’re in a house I’d suggest a tankless flow heater, the endless hot water is great
