Thank you to everyone for their kind words and caring thoughts.

Here's what happened.
had a tough few day here, water heater went out, leaked all over the basement. The one that was in there was 30 years old, I put it in. So I got my use outta it :) . Bad thing was, well there are many bad things, it now costs 600 bucks for the same one I paid 159.00 for 30 years ago.

So went to shut the water off to it so I could clean up the mess and stop the flood and the damn shut off was frozen up w/rust and corrosion/lime. Had to work on that for an hour to get it freed up and the water leak stopped.

So after it stopped I cleaned up the mess and went to buy a new one. I think they fill them with lead now cause it was a real MFucker to handle and wrestle down the stairs, maybe it's I am weaker at the age of 70:rolleyes:. Wifey wanted to help but she is still hurt from the wreck. That was all I could do in one day.

Next dat went down and started takin the old one out. Lots of fun there too but while doin that I seen a gas leak so had to change the way it was routed and pipe it another way ( I never did like the way it was anyway). So finally got the old heater out and the new in , gas line all installed, let it fill, and lite it. At this point I felt pretty good about it and thought I could kick back.

I could hear the water heatin so picked up my tools and headed up to take the screens outta the faucets so there wouldn't be a blockage and after doin that opened the kitchen faucet to relieve the air pressure and a burst of air cone through and then nothing. I went and tried the other faucets in the house and they were all fine.

Tired sore and baffeled I took the supply line to the kit. sink off and tried that and luckily water came right out so I tried firin up the compressor and tried blowin the clog out backwards, no luck so I had to take the faucet off and do surgery on it. Finally got it straightened out and the faucet back on and hooked up, that was at about 9:30 last night.

So this mornin I get up, can't hardly move and notice my LED for my Bonzai moms was out so have to get another one of those but for the time bein I haveta move all them into veg room.

WTF did I do to have this sh*t.:(

So the whole weekend was a nightmare, I am so sore I can't even hardly type. When I was younger that woulda been an easy job, I've done it many times here and for many others, but this one made me suffer.
