The Poo Man



He was my man today!

I had to hang about the house all day watching the septic tank lid float around in a thick murky waste while I waited for Mr. Poo and his suck truck.

The news was not encouraging when he showed up. Apparently our septic field is plugged up - ugh...

Next weekend we will spend elbow-deep in muck as we unplug the distribution box, dig up the lines and shovel a trench in which to drain the pipes.
Sounds all too much like war to me.


I'd rather eat haggis...

  1. Yikes.

    I'll be digging dirt on my balcony, and it sounds way better than what you'll be digging up.

    Sorry, my dear. It doesn't sound fun at all.

  5. Oh no, Dale, that's is just such a gross prospect! Last month I had to clean out my squiddly little toilet pump on board here because my darling, charming, Sindy buried a bone in the loo and it got stuck. Anyway, that was disgusting enough, but a whole field of it.......tilt! brain can't cope with that.....

    Cocentrate on the quest to find our AWOL profile pics - that's much more fun!

  7. Gosh, I thought I had it bad with the pipes under my house springing leaks. At least it is clean water.

    I'll be thinking of you. And I think I need to make a call to the Poo Man. My tank is due for a good sucking out!;)

    XXOO

  8. Dearest Dale
    You really are a class act! I've just discovered your last comment on my teddy post....you being abducted by loads of Keith Richards 10 years from now would be a raw deal I agree, but how can either of us compete with la Gypsy and her gorgeous photo when everytime you check a boy pops up and I'm just missing...or lacking....no, just missing......I know I'm out there somewhere (sung melodically in Justin Hayward type voice...now there was a yummy man...)

  10. Oh no!! That's not a nice sight (or smell) to look forward to for next weekend! I don't even think Sam or Lulu would revel in the sights and smells of that much muck. I'm so sorry to hear of your predicament!!
