The weather is appropriate for
April Fools Day. It began raining at
2 pm and is not forecast to end
before 2 pm tomorrow. I've done nothing
exciting today. The only thing I have accomplished
is to repair our dining room table so it
will sit without a wobble.

This has been a windy day. I replaced
a breaker suspected of being weak. I
removed everything from the walls in
the bathroom so Gwen could paint it
her favorite color. Then I put everything
back when she was finished. We are
preparing for another storm beginning tomorrow.

We have been in Tucson since October 1, 2023.
Every two months I get an announcement of the next
Tucson Symphony Orchestra concert. I reluctantly passed
on the George Gershwin, "Rhapsody in Blue" because two
tickets would have been $70. Today I got an announcement
of their April 12 concert, "Gustav Holst, The Planets", maybe
to
celebrate the solar eclipse. I couldn't pass that up for $44
for two.
It gives me another chance to wear my $4 sport jacket and tie.

My morning began with a Zwift ride on a rainy
day. When the ride was over, I normally take a shower
however, we had no hot water. I found what I thought
was the problem with a loose wire. The installer fitted the
water heater with a 15 amp electrical plug and installed an
outlet to plug in the heater. This seemed strange to me so
I wired the heater directly to the circuit since this is a
dedicated circuit. I was also thinking at the time the heater
was a 20 amp heater and the power was passing through
the 15 amp outlet and plug. As it turned out, the heater is
only
a 15 amp heater. After completing the wiring I learned the
heater still wasn't working. I watched a YouTube video and
learned how to test the element. I borrowed a volt-ohm meter
since mine was in Oregon. I tested the power first and learned
power was getting to the thermostat and the thermostat
was sending power to the element. I turned off the power
and tested the element. The test failed. I learned I
would need a special wrench to remove the element. I
searched Home Depot finding the element and the wrench
then ordered both online. I'm currently waiting for
confirmation that the package is ready to pick up. Gwen
and I have plans for tonight and tomorrow morning so
I will complete the repair tomorrow afternoon.

This was another rainy morning with slow

getting some Cranberry Pecan bread to share with
our friends and neighbors. I then worked on preparing
photos for the photo club contest. I got Gwen's permission
to cut the TV cabinet in half. That will happen tomorrow.

The weatherman struggled with a forecast for today. He
has been forecasting rain until yesterday then changed the
forecast to little chance or rain. By this afternoon it was
raining hard and so far we have nearly a half inch of rain.
Gwen and Jeanne wanted to visit thrift stores so we went
to three after breakfast and before the rain started.
