On Sunday, I loaded an old hot water tank, an ancient pressure tank and an equally ancient oil heater into my car and took them to the dump. (It only cost me $5 to leave them there.) Then I mucked about in the pumphouse, trying to achieve the last step in the saga of 'replace the pump that stopped working'. I managed to jury-rig a connection from the new pump to the pipe to the cottage and achieved that most essential of modern luxuries - running water. :w00t:
Then I had a mercifully brief conversation with my brother-in-law about his latest notion for 'improving the waterfront'. (It ended with me saying: "If you must go ahead, please give me a written acknowledgement that you will pay any fines arising from your project.") <_<
Then I washed the dishes, washed the floors, packed the car and drove home through thundershowers.
Oh, and yes, the issue of humanure is one that I contemplate every time I check the ancient septic tank at the cottage. :rolleyes:

And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
