Some of it?

Yes.  I got the thing drained.  There is still some in the tub, because there is a limit to how much water it can push through the hose and on out.  No major issue.  I would have had a lot more done, but I couldn't find the cheapy tool used to remove the heating elements.  I looked, and looked, and looked.  Rested, and looked more.  Trash?  No.  Upstairs?  No.  Downstairs?  I looked and looked.

Plum wore myself out.  Didn't want to take the elements off by the time I found it, but did anyway.  Further, I disconnected the hose, beforehand, and opened the drain valve, just to make sure.  It really did empty, right down to the bottom.  Very very good, and a bit surprising.  I expected a quarter of the tank to still be filled.  Nope.  Drops was all that came out.

I would love to pull the electronics, dry the area, and either leave it open or if it really is dry, to put the new electronics back in.  But... no.  Beside being two steps beyond exhausted, as much for the stupid search as for all else, I am not awake enough to know what I am doing or undoing.  Tomorrow, sometime tomorrow.

Not when I first wake.  A bit into the day.  Most likely around noon, if I wake at a reasonable time.  Early afternoon if not.  I should be able to do the wiring correctly.  May connect to the new right as I am taking of the old.  So it all makes sense.  The parts are twins, so it should be difficult.  The only potential problem is if something doesn't fit simply, but in some convoluted manner.  So, taking things apart will require utmost focus.

Not bad.  Not as fast as I would like.  The water isn't on.  But I have water, and a bit of reserves beyond that.  Not a lot, but... some.  A hot shower will not have felt so good in a long time.  Though, really, since I can't shower as often as I would like, it... usually feels pretty good.  So tired.  Things hurt.  But... all good.

Not even another thing.  Well, maybe a sip of water.  I am thirsty.  Stairs will zap you, or me anyway.  I'd love to turn the water on, but the elements aren't in, and I don't want to deal with a potential leak.  Tomorrow.  All tomorrow, or even into the next day, or Friday, if things aren't working quickly enough.

Still?  I am pleased, even if this ends up a total failure.  I am learning a great deal.  I have a few more tools for very specific uses, and a few for more general uses.  And I have learned how to use both new and old tools in ways I haven't since I was in the Navy.  Still, it's wiping me out.  On to bed.  Goodnight.
