I need this!

Me too. Just put it on the wish list. Then I saw this:

Wish I could find this on a T-shirt or bumper sticker:

Many years ago when I was a young sailor on HMCS/M Okanagan, an Oberon-Class submarine, we had a similar experience. We had a 2500 gallon black-water tank, and when that filled up, it had to pumped outboard; when we were at depth, we used HP air at about 30psi over sea-pressure to push the black-water to sea. The first step in the procedure was to shut the valve isolating the tank from the line coming from the heads (toilets). The second step was to make a pipe (announcement) throughout the boat indicating that the heads were out of bounds.

On this particular day, we had a very junior outside engineer tasked with emptying the blackwater tank. The trimming officer (the person whose job it was to make the pipes) was a chap of Korean heritage with an accent so strong you could cut it with a knife. As luck would have it, the engineer forgot to isolate the tank, and Lt Tam forgot to make the pipe... someone used the heads and stepped on the flushing foot-pedal... a 2500 gallon blackwater tank charged with air at 30psi all of a sudden given a 2" escape pipe... the ensuing pipe became legendary in the annals of Canadian submarine history: "Hear though... no passage thwew contwol. Sh*t on deck!" (and everywhere else for that matter!

Man, I imagine you had to open the windows to get rid of the stink.

Nah.... just prop the screen door open!

Morning all, lovely walk with Susie at 6am nice and cool with a slight breeze.

Except now we don't have to contend with the jamming 30-seconds-between-posts requirement. A lot of so much annoyance that was!

WHAT? I do.

Humph. (Otherwise, I would have made it longer, LOL)

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. 70F as Miss Maggie, Mary Lou and Gary begin our morning walk. Gary is pissed, a pair of relatively expensive Nikes are falling apart. They are quite comfy, very lightweight but the sole from the toe to behind the ball of the foot has peeled back. There is a few miles on them, but most the thread is still there. No more Nikes for Gary ...

Electrical inspection done! Plumbing inspection on Monday then we’re in the home stretch!!! Looking forward to quiet mornings and privacy restored.

I do get a two day weekend. 24.59 hours for the week. Could be worse but could be better. Gotta go to Livingston for mower blades and dog food. May get a pair of jeans if I can afford to.
