Luckily I didn't HAVE to go anywhere today. So I stayed in my PJ's and played The Legend of Zelda III a Link to the past all day. I know...I am pathetic. There is a slight amount of hope that the clog is dissolving with the stuff we put down there. After a couple of hours I ran the tub a bit and although the clog is still there, when I went back in the tub was drained. D is doing some more work in there right now. If its not fixed tomorrow I think I am just going to take a shower and then take the water outside by the bucketful and water the lawn with it.
So what are your big plans for the 4th of July? We are not big on spending money on fireworks because that is like setting money on fire. We did get a few small things because the boys love it so much, and we have big plans to watch the parade come through town on the 4th. The glory of it all is that the parade goes right in front of our house. I think there were even two floats in it last year! Mostly it is military vehicles, fancy cars, clowns, and a sprinkling of horses and floats. It is far from fancy, but its fun and if we get bored we can always just head back in the house. The boys love it of course because people throw candy at them and what could be better than that! Its like trick or treating without any work on their part. My parents are coming down again this year. Last year was the first year they came for the parade and they liked it enough to accept our invitation to join us. Hopefully the plumbing with be fixed and we will have time to mow the lawn before then!

We too have been thinking of installing a grey water reclamation system. Ours was going to be a tank that collected grey water and then irrigated with it. I suppose just plugging the drain and taking it outside by the bucketfull works as well. Enjoy independence day!
Up here, we have Canada Day on the 1st. Sadly it fell on a Sunday this year, so we didn't join in the local festivities. And I was so zonked I slept through the fireworks.
How awesome that the parade comes down your street!
My hair clogs up the shower. We have a drain that i can't unscrew, so I stick a hanger down there and pull up what looks like parts of a dead rat. My hair. And then, TAAADA shower workds agian. Happy Forth...we have a parade like that in our town. But have to drive a mile to it.
The plugged drain still isn't as bad as when we showered in the sink for several weeks while the bathroom was remodeled.
I like your philosophy about "burning up money." Spoken like a true fellow cheapo. :)
We'll be with friends tomorrow who like to go and blow lots of money on fireworks at the local Indian reservation every year. The awesome thing is, he's Canadian.
