Just a reminder to stay safe! I was flipping my Matriarch 2 with my new retention ring on my couch today, completely safely, so that the plane of motion it was taking could not hit the hand I was flipping with, trick to that is making sure it is over the first two joints. My flipping hand was totally safe, but...

Well, my cat (do not worry, it wasn't the kitty who got hurt!) was behind me on her brand-new flowers-and-mushroom cat-tree, looking down at me. Like this. (Pics taken this weekend)

So... here is where I think I started to, ahh, tempt the Lord. I turn around to face behind me while sitting forward on the couch, bending my left elbow and bringing it to the top of the couch as I extended my right hand to do some flips back and forth and back and forth for my kitty, as she is watching me, head cocked, trying to understand how that's doing that! Or maybe the lil booper was judging me, lol. Anyways, flip, flip, BOOM, punctured my arm. I was being very irresponsible by not paying attention to where my left hand was in relation to doing all of this, while paying so much attention to my knife and my cat, and knowing that the knife could not slip off nor could the blade reach my hand in any way while flipping due to where it was. Here is just a small bit of what I dropped immediately after being cut. I tried to take a picture of the pillow which caught the most of the blood but my girlfriend did not let me and I have since cleaned it.

The tip entered my arm, punctuated by smackin' bone! In my elbow, thank God my elbow. Like I said, turned around on the couch, right? Think of how you'd have your elbow looking behind you on a couch. It punctured in, just to the right of the place where it's JUST bone and a layer of thin skin over it, nothing really under there luckily, just a spot where the skin gets a little thicker than the base of the elbow. It was a small cut, but deep. Wrapped it up and was going to put some "liquid bandage", but my girlfriend got scared and said that stuff was insufficient, not the real stuff I needed, the superglue-like-med-glue, said I needed a stitch to that. I was looking at the cut's depth and thought, okay. Got a lil scared. Warned the nurse at the ER that I'd gush blood when the bandage was removed but then she looked at me crazy, it wasn't bleeding after the drive there. "You got cut how?" "Wait, the knife was on a ring??". The good doctor just applied some better skin glue than what I had, charged me $200, and let me go. That was more than the knife!

23 years on a water heater, you must have very soft water. I’ve never had more than 10 years on any of mine.

That’s an amazing duration!

I had a softener running for about the first 10 years. When the softoner crapped out I never bothered to replace it . Just opened the bypass valve and went on with life. yep a month shy of 23 years, that’s why I inspect it every month, Ive been expecting a leak every month for a decade!!! My Mrs has been telling me to just replace it for 6-7 years but I just had to see….
