Burn it Off

my self-inflicted panopticon failed.

short

so i had a missed call and message on my phone when i got outa' the water today...my mom was informing me that the heater was busted and i should find a warm shower on my way home if i want...far too lazy for that.

so i come home...remembered it...ten minutes ago. go outside, poke around, play with the timer, flip the breaker a few times....and eventually find a little red button on the heater. *shrugs....pokes button*. i turn the breaker back on (there were exposed wires, i turned it off) and heard a little hissing sound. gave it a few minutes, turned on the water, voila.

i think this is where the thing overheats and burns my house down....sweet. i'm pretty sure the problem's either with the thermostat or the timer...both a whole lot cheaper than a water heater. if it's the thermostat it prolly woulda' tripped the breaker, though...so i think the timer just pooped and didn't turn on...we'll see tomorrow...it's on a manual override right now...gotta remember to turn that off (save electricity) when it gets hot again.

...not that i was actually going to take a shower...i was surfing.

oh....haha...i have either a barnacle or sea shell stuck in my surfboard. duckdove right into the reef today 'cause i was surfing at low tide at a really shallow reef. interesting ding...i'm debating whether to just glass it over or pull it out....
