It Was Just a Bad Washer...

Turns out the link wasn't where I thought it was. Nor was it in a place where I can fix it without help. I stand defeated. Stupid rat bastard. See, I thought since the water was spraying out kind of all over the place, and since I'd had something like that happening before with the line that went into my hot water heater, that it was just a bad washer. This is what happened with the water heater, so I just imagined that it would be the same thing with the hot water line feeding into the faucet. I still had a bag of washers that was left over from the previous plumbing adventure, so I win, right?

I unscrewed the hot water line, and lo and behold, the washer in there is shredded. So I'm superjazzed. I drop a new washer in there, and I screw the hot water line back on. Well, it takes me a while to get it to line up right, and there's a lot of swearing involved. It gets screwed on straight, though. I turn the water on halfway and I see no spray from the hot water line. I hear a hiss, however, and it bugs me. I run some water, the pressure is good. I'm feeling good, but there's still that hiss. It bothers me. I feel around and I can't feel any water anywhere. At least not in the area where I thought the leak was.

I follow the hot water line down to where it comes up out of the floor and wouldn't you know it, there's a nice little fountain going there. So I go out and turn the water back off and utter a string of obscenities that I don't exactly remember and punch myself in the head. Because overreacting is a hobby of mine. 

That and I saw the drummer from Pitchshifter do it in a video and thought it was cool in high school. Watching it now, though, it's just funny. I don't know what was going on in my head then. This is one of those really unintentionally hilarious videos that I like now for completely different reasons than I first did.

Since then Pitchshifter has gone kind of techno and sucks balls. Anyhow they completely changed their sound and not in a good way.

So there you see I went off on a tangent. I don't think this blog is going to have much of a theme but there will be a lot of weird obtuse angles. Also, we'll have pictures that don't have anything to do with the actual content of the post. Like the hula girls posted here. Basically I just like hula girls.

I have nice hair. Be excellent.
