<--humbly accepts Robin's prestigious award but wonders if it might be a bit premature as <-- is getting rather cranky
<--breaks out of OAL speak to say:
The SO is off house sitting for a few days so after spending a few hours at the horsepistol I get to go home to a lonely house without indoor plumbing so...I have to go elsewhere to shower, use the toidy sparingly (I can flush that by running down to the creepy sump pump and grabbing water to refill the crapper), and I can't really cook since doing the dishes is rather much an ordeal so I eat overpriced crappy food. My upbeat attitude is starting to wear thin. I'm jealous as all heck of the SO even though he has spent a the past few days this week outside trying to fix the problem. He's going to give it a go again on Saturday or install a whole new pump system (that could be rife with it's own flippin' problems). He's a stubborn problem solver and means well so I won't say anything but at this point, I don't care if he calls the French Foreign Legion or Dr. Who, I want some flippin' water!@!#%#@%!^ It normally wouldn't bother me much but the timing stinks.
