The time that would have included normal rowing today was swallowed up by busy-ness with the water heater.
The 15 year-old leaky one was removed, the new one was unboxed, the new one and its manual were examined and it was discovered that it is flat-bottomed without feet and the manual specifically says that it should only be used indoors and on a floor which is always dry.
Ours is installed outdoors and its floor gets wet … whenever we have rain. I’d told the Home Depot salesman it was going to be used outdoors …. long story, but bottom line is that it was returned and I did not get a different hot water heater from Home Depot because they said that all their water heaters are footless, flat-bottomed the same as the one we returned.
So I checked Ace Hardware, which had one and only one to choose from. But that particular brand had extremely low ratings and many bad reviews. So I checked Lowe’s and Sears and got one from Lowe’s. By the time that was all done, it was too late to do my daily rowing and too dark outside to install the new water heater.
So, since there was no time today for rowing, I rowed for five minutes.
Happy rowing to you.
