My Bad

Well, the day got off to a bad start. I came over to the hangar at 7:30 AM to get some wrenches to work on the water heater. When I tried to use them, none of them were the right size. I thought that would be the case. Usually when I do that job, I have some wrenches that belonged to Nate, when he was storing his belongings in our bodega. All that is gone now, so I'm back to using tools from the hangar tool box. Anyway, I ended up using a large adjustable wrench and snapped the fitting off. What a drag! Now I've made more work for Ron. We're going to change the water heater out after lunch, as he has a spare. And, this water heater we have now needs to be cleaned like this a couple times a year, while the one we're going to replace it with has never need to be cleaned. It's going to be good in the end, but it's bad timing.
