I was going to go out to Anchor Bay yesterday to watch the sleds race on the ice.

I wasn't able to go up north to ride 'cause my rear skid is out getting the shocks gone through before next weekend and then I've got a 5 day trip to Munising in 3 weeks.


I had a pipe burst on my hot water tank. :augen41:

My hot water tank is in my garage (I'm on a crawl space and moved it to the garage 2 years ago to make more room in the laundry room, never had a problem until read----->), and somehow, my garage door was left wide open Friday night.


To make a VERY loooooooooooooong story REAL short, after I got done cleaning up the 10" of snow that blew in from the snow storm and shop vacking up 3" water from the blown pipe, I was busy making repairs(with lots of help from polarisidiot), so there went that idea. It could have been a lot worse than it was. cold.gif


I think more damage was done to my pride than anything. Being that I know for sure that that I was the last one out in the garage on Friday night. :frech32:


I know one thing for sure, I'll never do something dumb like that again!

I will, but I never had a problem, 'til I left my garage door wide open like a dumb ass.

I've got heat in the garage also, but when it's 6* and -0 with the wind, my heat was useless.
