That water heater was a Hillary.

.

At least it tried to be, if probably no better than she does, a ballbuster.  The replacement was supposed to be about 100 pounds.  So I assumed the old one was about the same.  Even with the packing, the new one was much lighter.  Getting that chunk of junk up, even with the cart, was a bear.  I actually needed two hours to recover.  I can handle moving my 100 pound plates easily, or more easily.  A long cylinder shouldn't be a problem.  It definitely was.  Might just be getting old though, older... well, and out of shape.  After the break I did get the other boxes, goods, and sundry down.  There was more than I thought and yet it opened up less space than I had hoped!  How that works I won't even guess.

I don't know if I can work tomorrow.  Perhaps just nibbling around the edges of the work area, stacking and sorting.  Or maybe just a day of rest, some cooking and gaming, maybe a spot of photography, which I didn't get going today.  The only other thing I didn't do, on my list, was shopping.  Monday.  Or... Tuesday.  Maybe Thursday.  We'll see how much these days of thunder have cost me.  Never can tell.  Sometimes it kills the system, sometimes it lights the coal and gets a head of steam set to charge the machine.

A shower, first thing.  There is little so luxurious as a shower in a freshly cleaned bathroom.  I have even added bits that allow me to clean the shower when I am done.  Of course, those only work if the water is draining.  Which it is again.  Funny how we find clean things, even with good intent, and mess them up?  It's our job.  It's the cycle.  Dance or die, the only choices.  And some of us don't even get both of those.  Well, as easily or well as others.

I forgot to mention it.  This morning?  My new second best sudoku solve time is now... wait for it... six seconds.  Just one second faster than my fastest time!  Now, to finish a puzzle in four, or even three seconds.  Yes, yes, crack my phone and look.  Oh, but the six second, 8 second, 9 second, and others won't show.  But the five second speed shows up on several counters in the app.  Again, while I can't stop you, I can bless you.  With what?  Something honest folk don't mind so much... an inability to be believed in a lie.  Go ahead kids, kick the kit and see if it stings.  You have been warned.  Though, if you do it, and find my words true?  In time I do believe you will thank me.  A truthful life is much easier and more satisfying to live.  The gig will sort of make you a putz.  But I make much effort to be a putz.  A putz in this world is an honest man in a true world.  Eventually you will lose your faith, for you will not need it... in heaven or hell.  You will know.

Later.  Or, urhm, good night.
