First Day of Summer Vacation

I finished my summer school class yesterday and had no plans for today. After showering this morning, I noticed I had to put the faucet all the way to hot to get just lukewarm water. Austin and I looked in the water heater closet and saw the tank drip tray was full of sludgy water. A visit from a plumber took about one minute to tell us the water heater was dead, not sick, and the quote was well into a grand, ugh. Lots of run around and being on hold and we finally found someone to do it for a more reasonable price; apparently a technician named "Chance" will be here on Saturday morning to replace the tank.
