Are we not men?
Aug. 23rd, 2005 09:36 amYesterday I came home, noted that there was no hot water for a shower, and decided I was hungry and I'd try again later. After dinner, there was this book...
Anyway, next attempt at hot water was washing face in the night. No hot water. Suspicions correct: hot water heater not heating water. I went down and looked at it. It was big and white.
This morning I looked at it with more clarity. My memory of pilot lights past and my skill at puzzle boxes allowed me to locate and pop off the pilot light cover, but I was once again stymied by my lack of long flame-bearing doodads.
You know what this means, of course. I get to buy a new tool! And it's a flaming tool! Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
Of course, I could have just used old tools, rubberbanding a match to a pencil. But I didn't really want to hang around the hot water heater for that long. It reeked of cat. Eye-watering stench.
Also, I found last night in my continuing survey of local restaurants that I'm in easy walking distance of the Paramount theater. Nya nya! :D (oo. I wonder if I want to go see Devo?)
