top o' the mornin'®
Today I am at home waiting for a replacement water heater to be installed. The contractor friend from church that I mentioned yesterday put us in touch with "his guy" and "his guy" is supposed to come out some time today. Funny thing - with four sons and a daughter-in-law, any two of whom are likely to be at the house at any given time, today is one day that none of them are available to wait for the plumber.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Just got word that the plumber should be here between 10 and 11 depending upon how the previous job progresses.

Don't worry. I started billing you at 5 in the morning. I might make it out there by 2:00, on Tuesday...

And now I'm happy to report that the work is done and the heater is beginning to heat water. The plumber estimates about an hour before capacity is reached, then I get to start doing laundry, starting with the towels and other things that got wet.
