Toasty Water Even at 130°

My thrifty Dutch husband already had turned down our water tank's thermostat, so I expected it to be set at 130°. The tank is apparently designed for people who are mechanically challenged. It features only A, B, C settings, with C being the hottest. The thermostat was set to B. I set it to A, and crossed my fingers that I wouldn't have to start taking cold showers.

The first shower I took was about 30 minutes after Henk took a shower. It was very toasty! I love a hot shower!! I have since found whether it is hot or just very warm depends on whether someone used the hot water recently. Even if I'm the first, though, turning on the hot water only makes it warm enough. Since we have a low flow-shower head, I've yet to run out of hot water.
