Solved! Help: water heater bypass valve won't budge

Not using hot water is not an issue, and depending on where you are parked NOT AN ISSUE.. I recall one August Sunday I had forgot to turn the water heater on (Do not know why it was off) when I was down in GA.. NOT a problem lots of shower hot water courtesy of Sol Water Heater Company (That is the sun folks) I had solar heated water.
