On this note, one can open the access panel and adjust ones water heater to a much, much hotter level... and when one finishes with that, one can take their shower head off and with a pair of needle nose pliers, RIP THAT LITTLE F'n FLOW RESTRICTOR THE F OUTTA THERE! Winning!

The hot water in my house steams. Sometimes a new person will come over and comment its too hot, not safe.

I always reply, You don't have to turn it up all the way.

This also reminds me of the toothpick thingy with the woodpecker. I will see if I can find a picture. Everybody's grandparents had one.

Still not bad considering you could pick them up at a garage sale in the 70s for a nickel! Maybe even the same in the 80s and 90s.
