Day 2400

 I woke up about 7:30 and played games for a while.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  When that was finished I went out to poison the environment.

I didn't have as much herbicide as I thought I did, but I had enough to mix up a tank.  I sprayed everything I wanted to and had 4 gallons left over.  I just used it to go around the margins of the gravel and to go over some of the more heavily grown areas.

When I was finished I took a shower.  I needed it.  Then we went to the club to pay for the tournament and buy ammunition.  We drove back to the trailer because I needed to get my license.  Then we were going to Baumann's.  The sewer guy drove up just as we were leaving.  It was noon.

Draining the tank was a slow process.  I just couldn't get the tank to flush.  I finally sort of gave up.  I knew the tank wasn't really clean, so I had Ellen fill it up with the wand.  When I got the wand back, it showed she put in 70, not 7 gallons.  I looked closer and saw that the meter was reading liters.  She'd put 18 gallons in the tank.  Fuck.

I had to get a bucket to drain the tank.  That's when I found out how much hadn't come out.  I hauled 4 1/2 5 gallon bucket of shit, piss, and toilet paper behind where the septic tank was.  It wasn't pleasant.  The tank wasn't flushed because I was putting in liters instead of gallons when I was trying to flush it. 

I had Ellen use the wand to put in 7 gallons.  Then I put everything away.  By then it was well over 80, sunny, and I was hot and sweaty.  I had to sit inside for a while before I felt like going to Baumann's.

Eventually we drove there.  We bought a peach pie, strawberries, and some donuts.  We also got a windmill.  Then we went to AC Greasy for lunch.

When we got home I sat down in the recliner Where I spent the remainder of the afternoon and evening game playing, surfing, and TV.  Dinner was leftovers.
