Isn't he in a Colorado hospital suffering from multiple fractures?
Not one fall! Listen to this week though...
-Two days before we are flying out, 5 year old water heater cracks at the seam and floods my basement. Spend hours using shop vac to clear out standing water. Tech comes, makes sure water is cut off, tells us we need a new one.
-Next day, come down, basement flooded again. Apparently the tank was backfilling from the output line. Call tech, spend hours using shop vac to clear out standing water again. Tech comes and puts a cut off on out flow until new tank comes in. (which came today)
-We pack, get our sh*t together and plan our travel day. F.A.A. suspends all flights in U.S. Nice. Somehow our 8 pm flight is still on. We show up, board about an hour late. Leave the gate, head to taxi-way. Awesome sauce. Away we go. Gazing out the window about 5 minutes later I realize we have gone in a circle and are back at the gate. Nice. Pilot says "to finish loading luggage". No luggage guys/trucks come, we sit there. Pilot comes on and says we are waiting to switch crew-members. We wait an hour. Finally, Pilot walks out of cockpit and leaves plane. Crew huddles. Another half hour, another Pilot introduces self. We leave.
-Get to Denver. Nice. Go to collect luggage. Two bags missing.... skiis. No one has answers or cares. File a claim they said. Breckinridge is about 2 hours away through the Rockies, we stay over near airport. Wifne works the phones (NOT happy). Airline calls in a.m. They found the skiis. Nice. We pick up, head to Breck and have a great week.
-Fly home last night. One bag missing. Nice. No one has answers or cares. Not even someone to tell us to gfy. They turned off carousel.
-Take shuttle to Long term parking (its a valet lot). Truck is there, running and ready to go. Nice. Load up Truck, go to adjust mirrors. No good. Right passenger mirror is hanging by a thread and marred with white paint (Truck is blue). I show the manager, he says "you'll have to wait, we're very busy". Angry 3-2 conveys Ragu-like niceties at Sabu the Manager guy who now realizes oh noes.
-Fill out incident report, bla bla bla. Wifne Defcon one.
-Today PSE&G shows up to replace hot water heater (finally). Nice. Nice neat job, looks good. They leave, insurance guy comes, bla bla bla. "Oh" says he. Did you happen to notice the new heater is leaking? "Why no" I say. Fuck me. "Oh, and also, you have a $2500 deductable".
Sure enough, it is leaking (albeit small droplets) but def. leaking from a valve. And no its not a valve I can tighten, its a threaded cap with a big hex-hole, def. bigger than any hex wrench I have.
-So, hour 6 of waiting for a guy to come tighten said nut.
-With the cost of deductable and installation fee for new WH, I'll be out 5 g's at least because of an American made POS and I'll have to deal with dickheads tearing up my basement floor at 0830 tomorrow. And the fucken son-boffing teacher looks like iffin Michael Kay had a baby with Britney Spears. common
