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.
