Yuppers...

Out of patience for deeply disappointing men in unmerited positions of authority

Update: It was a whole FAMILY of mice, and they dragged a sock and a bunch of other stuff into the filing cabinet!
Now they are mummified and stuck to the bottom of the drawer 🤢

NGL, I'm pretty proud of myself.

I just found out that a mouse used to live in my filing cabinet.

Key phrase: "used to"

The smell? Not good.
But at least they also chewed up a ton of my files 🫤

Yes! It's a spring that is painfully out of code so I only use it for gray water. And I have an in-house UV sanitizer for extra protection.

I'm so hopeful to be done with paper plates etc. I hated the waste.

I've continued to work on my MacGyevered rain collection system and I... am cautiously optimistic it's working.
The hope is to eliminate the need for a pump to prime the system so it's passive/low maintenance.

Fingers crossed it worked.

For my rain-collection project, I decided it would be a good idea to take the heavy-duty, 4 level shelving system out of my garage, drag it through my yard and up the stairs onto my deck -- without disassembling it.

Readers...

This is was not a good idea.

At this point I would be *shocked* if trump said anything honest or intelligent.

I would eat the rich but I don't like the way nepotism tastes.

I tried to modify my rainwater collection system and I'm pretty sure I messed it all up.

But walking out to the well to check the water level is a mud slip and slide, so I think it's ok.
