Almost a "no comment" week of nothing... I cannot even come up with any "Fake News"...
So it is back to the "no news is good news" and "if you don't have something nice to say... don't say anything" mentality of "have a nice day, be happy, smile a lot, and relax".
what peacefulness
sun shining on the back
of napping cats
an example to follow
on this day at my age…
an'ya
It was so slow and quiet here this week, that I hesitate to post anything... so, I wont !
Finally, all of the drama is gone for a while, even the Pharmacy is hanging around on a reprieve, if we live through Valentine's Day (without forgetting it) we may be good until Easter.
Being a small, clean, quiet cul de sac 12-space RV park specializing only in long-term rental spaces without having overnight, daily, or weekly rentals available with free water, 50 amp electric, and internet, a bathhouse and laundry facilities ... yes, I said "laundry facilities"... our owner is moving forward on the coin-op laundry room project, it will not be a fast install, so buckle down, but, it "is" going to happen.
Other in-house issues are, obviously we have canned (pun intended) the recycling idea ... the unsightly area has been removed, the mice found other homes, the broken glass, 45 (count them) wine bottles, and blowing around plastic bottles (over the bank and in the lake) have all disappeared to the dumpster. Without a volunteer to police the area and transport to the dump, and since our refuse truck does not support recycle (like in Portland, Seattle), it's over.
In preparation for adding in the additional greywater load of laundry/shower services and the bacteria-killing Phosphate load, we took a look around at our septage vault and clean-outs ... "not" impressive .... so, I will offer a comment on toilet paper.
The absolute biggest disaster to a community of septic system users like us, is a system failure ... once the little microbial coliform guys are dead, suffocated, or over fed, we may not be able to recover the system within our economic ability.
Without insulting anyone's worldliness or knowledge about of RV/tiny house/boat living, anything going into the grey or black water system that is not from a body function needs to "self"-destruct via bio-degrade.
From the "Alternative Living 101" class we all learned that "ONLY" single-ply bathroom tissue certified as "septic-safe", and NOT advertised as "ultra-soft" or "extra-absorbent" belongs in the toilet, and less is better. Paper towels, wipes of any type, toilet bowl chemicals and cleaners, bleach or pail water, food scraps, anti-bacterial anything, hair dye, paint, medications, vacuum cleaner or ash tray remnants, and plastic anything ... does not belong in the toilet.. but, you "Knew" that.
Does anyone have an ID on that 4 propeller non-cargo aircraft that flew over low yesterday (Sunday) around 1330 headed SE, painted Army green ? P3 Orion ?
We have all seen the ads ... music by "the two-tones", or blankets by "Beverly", tacos by Ortega, or some-such... here at PPRV we have ... potholes by "Nichole" ! who has single handedly taken on the pothole project and then put herself out of work by having no potholes to repair.. job obsolescence, our shock absorbers and fillings thank you ! Nichole,
An FYI about potholes, without going into depth (pun intended), there are legal aspects to maintaining road conditions for public access that involve safety, control, and damage (which is the impetus to fill the buggers in). thank you Nichole. (links wholesome, holistic, holy, whole, hoal, hola').
We took some action against speeders using Michels orange traffic pylon and mounting three 10 mph signs into the driveway, the potholes played in here too, but watching a swerving 25 mph truck, was worse than just watching a straight lined 25 mph truck.
This weeks new concerns came up as "what's with the dangerous plastic covered slash/brush piles ? " how are they removing the fire hazard by being bon-fire staged...? I dunno, but, I will look into it at BLM Forest Service and report back.
For those into the washer-dryer idea... I estimated the parts and labor needed to install the "donated" (by Rose) units into the office building, breaker, receptacle, vent, drain, floor prep and grooming, hot/cold water hookup parts and labor come out at around a $2,000.00 project investment by the owner. I "did" pass that info on to him two weeks ago for consideration.
We are very fortunate (as in extremely fortunate) that our infra structure here is modern, clean, up to date, and working flawlessly (water, wifi, electric, sewer)... the most overlooked yet most devastating of failures or problems arise from septage malfunction. which is next weeks topic.
Rainiest-coldest month of the year (February), Robins are out, think Spring !
you wanted the comments to work... click the below link... use them !
Pretty quiet week... put off visiting our emergency services people for wifi time.... but, did not forget.
Time to contemplate landscaping/cleanup of your space...a FYI, there are tools of agony available for hurting your back or getting your fingernails uncleanable (shovel, rake, trimmers, etc) and the two ladders behind the office are for your roof, caulking, etc. and cleaning as well, there are garden hose, buckets, on and on for all of your spring cleaning fun... if you need any of this, speak up.
I also just donated some spare sewer and fresh water 'hook up" hoses, and sewer fittings should you suffer a failure, we have an abundance of Pride of Madeira bushes sprouting down here on the South-end, if you want to transplant, this is a perfect time, we are going to be forced to cull some before spring.
Potholes and speed limit signs are next week !!
