No photos, too tired. Rode back and forth on bicycle to hardware store. Spent the day wrestling with the stove plumbing. Currently have the gas shut off to the house for that reason. Fortunately I have an electric kettle, so hot water will not be a problem, even if not on tap. I lived off grid in Idahell for a year, so have experience with keeping clean without running hot water. Am a bit grouchy, or rather, my back and haunches are grouchy from repeatedly crouching down for turning the shutoff valve on and off, and for getting down on the floor to relight the water heater. But hey, I learned how to do that today, even though it needed to be turned off again. And if there wasn't something really odd going on with the male base that the valve screws into, all this would be dealt with by now...
