The monolith

Our water heater died on Wednesday, so we bought a replacement which was delivered today. Tomorrow I get it into the basement, disconnect the old water heater, move it out of the way, slide this one in, then take a long-delayed shower.

(Why is “Also sprach Zarathustra” playing in the background?)

The shopping trip

Gone shopping

I went out to 82nd to pick up some more firegas, then up to the Seven Corners New Seasons for ice cream, etc, and finally to Westmoreland Hardware for some steel stock (and a small handful of 20mm m5 bolts (with nuts to go along for the ride.) ~17 miles, though it felt like longer because I was lugging the acetylene tank the entire distance.
