Water Heater leak, yuck.

Well, guess who is out of town. Yip, ARO. She got up about 4:45 this morning and had a flight to LA, and will be back this evening.
On the sour note, I had to get up at 5:15 because our water heater sprung a slow leak. Had to get an $800 all bills paid replacement. Took awhile since they brought the wrong size (courtesy of me) and then the wrong brand. Oh, well, could be worse. I could have asked Jeff to help me with it (just kidding Jeff). I'm sure it would have been much cheaper this route, but I didn't have the time and too many connections. Plus, recent law (within last 10 years) says we need a drip pan, which we didn't have, and not sure if we would have gotten one, but all is working now. Should have hot water when I get home.
P.S., ARO had a 61 on Wednesday at Lions Muni. She's in a weekly golf league of 4 from work. She was tired when she got home, too.
