Haha, no hot water

Good thing I shower at night and that I do my hair only every other day! No hot water this AM, which I quickly discovered when I filled up the sink to do (cat) dishes early this morning. I knew right away that it was the hot water tank, this is the third or fourth problem I've had with it since its installation in March 2010. Today's issue is "error code 4." Something about the wiring or a disconnected tube. Never had any problem with the old one until it up and died. They don't make anything like they used to!

I called the utilities company, of course, at 5AM, but the answering service said a tech wouldn't be in until 7AM (office doesn't open till 8AM). So I hung around till 8AM and said I had to get to work -- we compromised on a service call anytime after 4PM. So I'll leave early today (yay!) and go home to twiddle my thumbs and wait some more. As long as someone shows up by this evening to fix it, I'll be a happy camper.

Meanwhile, it's our second and final day of gorgeous temps, no humidity. The boys certainly appreciate it!

Snapped last evening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nicki won that round, by the way.

And just a few pics that I meant to post earlier, from my wild and unkempt garden.

 

 

My Norfolk Pine is leaning...I've had to bungee cord it to the metal of the steps, to keep it from toppling over in high wind. If it survives outside this year it'll be a miracle, as I transplanted it back in May and then it just about drowned with all the rain in June. I've lost some of the lower branches, but otherwise it's still going, after so many years I can't remember. Probably 15 or almost 15.

Anyway, I'd best get some real work done, have a lovely day, whatever you're doing!

Peace.
