July 19 – Today goes down as
the worst day of camp hosting ever! After
Bill and I finished the restrooms we started on the showers. I was on my last one and the rubber mat
outside the shower had poop on it!
Geez! I’m thinking it was a baby
and was from a diaper taken off. I called
for Bill to take it outside and hose it and I worked on getting the rest out of
the stall. I brought in the giant bottle
of Lysol and poured a cup or so in and swished it around with my broom and it
smelled very clean, like Lysol!
Once Bill and I finished up
the bathrooms he went with Shawn to pump RV’s and the portable toilets. I was cleaning some outdoor rugs when I got
the call to un-stop a toilet in the men’s bathroom! Well, I’m pretty efficient with a plunger,
but the toilet was to the brim with water and there were no cups or vessels to
use to scoop out the water. I found a
small trash can in the storage room and started just removing 1 cup or so at a
time. Gradually I could remove more
until I got it down low enough to risk putting the plunger in. When I was ready to flush I was still not
sure and I could not locate a shut off valve for the toilet. The others each had a valve but this one was
different. There was a chrome end on the
pipe that had a little wing on it, but it didn’t look like a turn off. Well I decided to plunge some more before
taking a chance of flooding the bathroom!
Eventually it cleared and that challenge was met!
Later in the afternoon I was
doing a bag pick up along the campsites and I saw a guy setting up an awning
over his picnic table. He asked me to
stop and I figured he needed help with holding a pole or something. Well he asked me to get the dead fish out of
his firepit! I got my grabbers and my
bucket thinking it was dried out and plopped it in my bucket. I hadn’t gone far when the smell started. I went as fast as I could to the dumpster.While trying to dump it in a plastic bag first so it wouldn’t reek so bad every
time we put trash in the dumpster, I thought I was going to look my lunch! Darn, where was Bill when I needed him? I managed to get it in the dumpster and there was a muddy looking chunk still in my bucket so I put it on the back of my
cart, as far from me as I could and drove like lightning, well for a golf cart,
to the closest hose and filled my bucket and drove it out in the woods and
dumped where I almost lost my lunch again!
I was ready to call it a day!
We were on firewood delivery
for the evening and trash pick up. The
plan was to hook up the red cart to my golf cart and we put 15 bundles of wood
in it. Well earlier today I noticed there
was a screw in one of the tires and I told Shaun, the owner, about it. So Bill and I were on the back side of the
lake checking the portolets and I told him something was wrong with the
cart. I said I think it’s a tire and got
off to look at my left tire and Bill said the screw was in the right. I said that’s not the problem and the left
tire was FLAT and right was fine, still had the screw in it! We called in that we were done and out on the
back 40 so they sent another cart out that has a built on wagon back and we off
loaded to her cart and we limped back to the garage. What a day!
Thank goodness 9pm rolled around shortly we and headed for home and for a
better day tomorrow!
The highlight of the day is
I found .30, so my money bag is up to $1.40.
