Nope not political

The other day I took a shower before going out. I noticed I had to use 100% hot water valve. No cold water mix to temper and still it was only lukewarm.

"Well I did some laundry" my wife told me so I shrugged and moved on. This morning I hear "We dont have hot water"

So I check the breaker and sure enough its tripped. "Why did it trip" I'm asked... "How would I know" I replied. I snapped the breaker back on and 5 seconds later POP and a wiff of ozone from the water heater. I immediatly turned the breaker off and made some statement about at least the house dident burn down. That dident please the wife.

This comes on the heels of having to repair my desktop (a $300.00 expense) so cant afford a new water heater right now. Isnt that always the way... prioritys you know.

"What about laundry?" "Use that cold water detergent"

"What about showers?" "Yea uhhh well it is summer"

"What about washing dishes" ... I point at the stove "Thats your water heater for now"

Not a good answer

Cold showers are good for the blood circulation.

Cold showers!

You need to spend some time in Russia. When I went to school there, the dorm I lived in didn't always have hot water

. I took a couple of cold showers (keep in mind, this was January

). At that point, I decided I didn't need to take a shower every day.

And you said it wasn't political!

I'd say you could use a course in politics right about now.
