It's funny, it has some good lines in it.

I'm sitting on the couch. I would have been in here but Bark opened up the septic tank today and it smells in here.

 

Oh yeh - - most any RVer that has been doing it a while can tell some pretty "crappy" stories. ...................Tain't fun and very embarassing.

It is dead in here. No ph00 either. DUH. Heading out of here for a couple weeks with little to no Inet coverage, so I will be quite absent. See when we get back - - - hold it in the road.

Bob. As you know, its kind of neat when you get away from it for awhile.
I go through a little bit of withdrawel at first since I like to check the news everymorning.
Have fun!!

Hey, it didnt smell so good before that either.

Everybody must be out enjoying the rest of summer.

 

Bark, I am about 2 hrs from 'The Lower 48' and it costs me $200+ to get my septic tank pumped out. So, that is one task that you don't really get beaten for. I tried to come up with a better word than 'beaten' but we try to keep this site G-rated.

 

Luckily with just the two of us, we dont get it serviced very often.
Funny thing is, where I live at I could just dump the stuff over the edge and nobody would care.
Instead I pay somebody to pump it and haul it all the way to the city of Soldotna where they put it in their water treatment facility.
I know I am doing the right thing but something still stinks.

It was so nice out we drove to the beach a little while ago and ate dinner down there.
Saw a couple of beluga's to the North and a Japanese LNG tanker filling up to the South.
The tankers have been showing up more since their tsunami and the price of my natural gas has gone up. Probably not related.

 

Got locked up again........

Nice out up here again today. 65-70* and sunny. slowly getting the place ready for winter though.... It'll be here before long.

 

Got the PhOo pot set to turn on at 0500. Should still be piping hot when the early birds arrive.

Let me know if tastes alright....my scoop-o-meter might need a little tweaking. Night folks.

 

Your scoop-o-meter is fine! Thanks!

Coffee is ready thanks to jhenson. Maybe tomorrow he'll learn to clean the toilets!

 

I'll heed mom's advice on chaikwa's comment about the toilets....you dirty it up, you clean it up.......and Bark was the one with the fouled up poop tank.

Morning all. Yep, PhOo is alright this a.m.

 

Where the heck is everyone this fine morning? They must have stayed out too late last night.

WAKE UUUUUPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah!!
I even took a shower in the front yard so everybody would know I took one, so that cant be an excuse.

 

WOW!!! You want to give me the second most powerful position in a kingdom and then I find out that the position was abolished in 1559. I didn't realize you might still be able to recall something from that long ago.

Be careful Bob and enjoy yourself. You need a little time off.

Oh sure it can.

Evening all.

 

Sucks to be you....having to groom Barks stools and all



I am going to see if he will make me Ambassador to Tequila

Evening Arthur #2

 

Evening Arthur 1. Better be careful of any appointments you get from Bark, they may only exhist in his mind. (and we know what it's like)



This is too funny not to post but for some reason I can't get it to embed.

I kept expecting that reporter to start yelling "But wait, theres more"!

As a good progressive king, I would bring back that position and a few more like Punkawallahs and Gong Farmer's (kind of the same but you get to pick up everybodys uh fertilizer).
Heck, there will even be a Whipping Boy spot for Scot or Scotty or maybe they would prefer the Daily Burier job (who doesnt like yelling "Bring out your Dead").

To heck with Ambassador, we will attack them and make you El Presidente. Now if I could just find them on the map.

Another beutiful day. Today we had lunch on the beach since its going to start raining again tomorrow.
