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.

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.

Rick, because I like you,,
when I become King I shall allow you the great privilege of granting you the job of "Groom of the Stool".
From then on people far and wide will anounce your presence by shouting "Enter Sir Rick, Groom of the King's Close Stool to the great and wonderful King Bark"
Don't worry, I will take care of all the paperwork myself.

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.
