Quite a bit this year! I'm on a well, and am in direct receipt of the low water availability. Last year was a struggle to get the garden and all the rest of the yard watered. Lawn was sacrificed of course. This year I'm not doing anything for summer crops as I fear I'll have enough work keeping the perennials alive.

Yep. Plus we use 1-ply year round, by choice - and we're not even on a septic system.

I prefer one ply.

If you fold it just right its kinda stiff like a drywall trough, so you can get in the nooks and crannies better.

TPBM prefers Charmin super plush.

I technically it's called "passing out", and I was but a youth (so, like in my 30s)

Yes I do. In the afternoon. Come home dirty, (usually) and shower is always next so it's the way to go.

I feel they both have pros and cons.
Overcast pros=You don't need sunglasses
cons=It's usually more humid

Sunny days pros=If it's in the winter, you can open the window blinds/drapes and help warm the house
cons=It's usually uncomfortably hot.....here anyways

Catman I don't have a shower at the burn but I would probably have to pee in it due to all the jellyfish out there.

TPBM has something to do with a tent on their BM list.

Tents and huts, seeds and nuts (food) :roll: Can't wait! Trying to keep the stress of preparation at bay.

Tried it, with home-made Kahlua from a co-worker. Excellent.


tpbm is avoiding work, again




(Ratty - a rent party is a get together with a cover-charge, or a hat-pass, that goes to help pay the throwers rent. Usually, but not always, includes entertainment & booze. I went to some great ones in the early 90s in SF, back when 10 people could rent an entire empty warehouse. *Sigh*)

No, I use a push floor sweeper between vacuums. When my dog is shedding I will go over the carpet and cloth furniture with a small wire dog brush.

Oh yes. Los Angeles 20 miles from the mountains, the beach and downtown LA. 9 kinds of fruit trees, rows of boysenberries and veg garden. Lots of chickens too.

TPBM prefers to live in the city.
