I'd bake you a cake, but you would have to teach me how, and I would have to borrow equipment and an oven. I made brownies once. They turned out OK. Happy birthday anyway.

Similar experience in the past with Capri Sun.
With four children I guess we gained a lot of experience. Fortunately the "baby" recently turned 17.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

I was planning to buy a 20' drain snake to try to clear it.
Fortunately a buddy of mine has had to remove a half dozen kid's toy obstructions from his toilet. He told me to take it apart and even correctly guessed where it would be stuck.
Cost me $6.38 for a high end wax ring plus several pairs of rubber gloves.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -

Looks like a two piece unit. The tank seems to have a very slight leak at the bowl, causing some black mold on the bottom of the tank. Take the opportunity to separate the units, bleach or muriatic acid on the black gunk and re-seal...
That or your tank is sweating....
Me? I'm lazy. I would spring for a new unit... -

Takes me back to when I was 18 or so and home for a holiday. My great aunt was visiting and the same thing happened. My dad was away and it fell to me to deal with it. As I was taking up the toilet, my brother whispered, "if you find a yo-yo in there, it's mine."I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here.

While working in the heating industry on Nanntucket island I got called back to a house where I removed several radiators so they copuld refinish the wood floors. The owners son droped a set of keys down the pipe. I & the homeowner got lucky & I was able to hook them with an electrical fishtape/snake. Would have been many hours & hundreds of dollars if I had to cut into the pipes to retrieve them.

a very large wharf rat got in the ventilation system aboard ship and died. The guy who put the rat guards on the lines holding the ship to the dock missed one.
The smallest guy on the ship went in the vent with an oba. on. That's oxygen breathing apparatus. Rubber gloves and a trash bag. Rope around his waist. He got stuck and they had to pull on the rope to get him out.
Captain gave him 2 or 3 days leave in Rome, Italy. He got in trouble but he told us later it was worth it.
The stench from the dead rat was incredibly bad. It was all over the ship. But they got rid of it. The smell lingered for a day or two after they got the trash bag off the ship but the air was fine after that.--

I think bears would let ya pee on em, and then climb that tree a drag ya to the ground all rough like and tenderizing ya all the way down...that's what I'd do anyway if someone whized on me from afar.
Not that I'd let em...not that there's anything wrong wit dat. -
Had to share this from that other place. For some reason it was posted under "Selling Used Gear", but I think it should have been posted in the "Drugs on the Trail" thread instead...

This time of year I keep seeing photos of people posing with unofficial mileage markers for 100 mile points (i.e. 100, 200, 500, etc miles from Springer) most are made of pebbles or sticks, or are scratched in the ground.
For some reason I'm tempted to setup fake mileage markers on the trail 20-30 miles south of the actual mileage point.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.The post was edited 1 time, last by Sarcasmtheelf ().

I've seen a picture of a shelter with an electrical outlet. Installing fake outlets in more shelters would be fun.

I suppose if I saw a shelter that had cable I'd set up a tent inside too
-
That is the picnic table inside. 1 thru put her tent behind the shelter.....and 2 others were in 1 corner....... I ended up on the table for some reason that I can't recall.
..and I don't think anyone even had a gadget to hook up to the dish!Cheesecake> Ramen -
...and the thru who set her tent up behind the shelter.......we were glad she did.
I came walking down the hill from the AT, and around and over the brook and.........hello....the cutest little blond, buck naked, bathing in the brook!!!
She was a freaking space cadet of the highest order......and she really needed a real bath!Cheesecake> Ramen
