funny stuff John and Tom
nah, one day we didn't have any warm water. A friend of mine showed me the last time this happened how to remove the igniter assembly from the bottom of the water heater for cleaning.
Over time, sediment particles fall on top of the burner plate and it gets dirty so it won't stay lit with the flame. You basically pull it out, give it a good cleaning, vacuum out the bottom area of the tank, put it back, and your in business again for another year or so..
Unless you allow evil into your life, all that super natural stuff is just a bunch of hokey pokey. Have faith, as I know you do Tom and John.
