Yesterday I started feeling like I was coming down with a bad cold.

Today I'm suffering with the flu.

Perfect way to end the year :jasper:

Feeling like yuck today due to lack of sleep. I was a little over enthusiastic with my new espresso maker yesterday. I made a couple of double espresso lattes, then a few plain double espressos. :dunce: :lol: #allwiredup

Noticed a kind of musty, humid smell in the bathroom adjacent to the laundry room earlier this week, figured it was just due to the days of rain raising the humidity. Then last night, I noticed a damp spot on the carpet against the wall in our bedroom which is right on the other side of the wall where the laundry room and the water heater cabinet are located. Sure enough, I look under the water heater, it's leaking and probably has been for several days. So today and probably about $1,500 later, I'm replacing the water heater.

make sure it's not just leaking from the pressure relief valve. If it is that is usually a $20 fix.

Water heater replacement is so over priced. It is a relatively easy job but it is supposed to be permitted so that drives up the cost.

You should be able to get a rebate from your gas company so that might help a little. :noclue:

It was definitely the water heater that was leaking. The guy pulled it out and at the base in the back there was a welded joint that was leaking. Surprisingly, considering the heater was manufactured in 1991, there was zero rust or corrosion, but it was way past due time to be replaced. I probably could have done it myself, especially after watching the guy do it, but I don't like to meddle with anything that involves gas or electric wiring. But yeah, I priced the water heater and it was just under $600 with tax and the installation was $700 = $1,300 total. My bunghole hurts.

As in “Januarys are always a sucky month each year”? Or did you typo “Jane’s”?

I've been a snot machine since Sunday. I don't have a cold or sinus infection. I feel totally fine except that I am really congested and have to blow my nose every 5 minutes or so. I've gone through an entire box of Kleenex of since yesterday morning! Maybe I've developed an allergy ?? :noclue:

​Best Rock Album
Alice in Chains - "Rainier Fog"
Fall Out Boy - "M A N I A"
Ghost - "Prequelle"
Winner - Greta Van Fleet, "From the Fires"
Weezer - "Pacific Daydream"

Amongst this list, they deserve it.

They deserve ridicule, nothig else. Hand it to AIC or Weezer, bands that have a distinct original style and can write really good songs from time to time

There are much much worse bands they could be copying.

If they want to turn a new generation onto Zeppelin, that's only a benefit for music going forward.

The more Godsmacks there are on the radio, the more future rock is going to sound like Godsmack. :noclue:

Yeah, that is the ONE good thing about it, I guess.

Robert Plant was asked about them and said: He borrowed his style from someone I know very well and added that the singer in GVF has said that he got his style from Aerosmith :lol:

I am still really on the fence about GVF. I do think that the lead singer's voice was ascribed, not achieved. I'm not saying Zep isn't in the back of their minds, but hey. I do really appreciate a group so young working so hard and continuing to compose. There is so much time left for them....it will be really interesting to see what they continue to release.

As for the Grammy's....missed them this year. I did go back and watch RHCP with that Post Malone guy who I cannot stand.
