Hey Rainee...ran57gr said:Obviously we were made for each other
Hiya Chief

)) He had a pea gravel bed for the drain, then he started mixing his dirt collection with compost and made himself a pretty nice garden spot. Then he built a green house over the top of it. $

Grey water would be the water from baths, showers, dishwashers, washing machines and such. As opposed to brown or yellow water, I suppose.
Back in our Mother Earth News days we ran across the term quite a bit. My old mining and logging friend Ray Campbell actually built a grey water system into his house/cabin. The sinks and bathtub were plumbed on a different circuit than the toilet (that is a whole 'nother story). He dug up the ground on the South side of his cabin and started collecting dirt. That was what we kidded him about, his dirt collection. When ever he would see somebody starting to build a house up in Four Elks region he would stop and see if he could get them to drop a load of the top soil they were digging up off at his house.
It took him a year to get all the stuff gathered. He built a grey water filter, which for him was a series of 5 gallon cans filled with gravel and sand. This exited into a French drain he built out of PVC that he had drilled about a zillion little holes into. He laid this all out in a grid in the hole (the hole was about a foot and half deep and about 20 x 20 feet (6 x 6 meters and half a meter deep
He ended up with a dandy garden just out the back door of his house, and it was watered by him brushing his teeth.
He built a copy of a Swedish composting toilet that worked great. So the end result is that his cabin had full sewage management with no ceptic tank or leach field or nothing.
Old Ray was quite a man. An Elder in the Church of Christ, a miner and logger all his life, had a elementry grade education (I think he said he quit school and went to work when he was 14)... but he read voraciously and figgered he could make just about anything that he ever saw. He was about the closest thing to a "true" man of God that I ever met. I rank him with my Dad for integrity. Anne and I both sort of adopted him as our Dad, and he us as his kids. He was one of the things we had to leave behind in Colorado when we left with our tails tooked... I heard he'd died about a year after it happened. I always hated that.
At any rate, I got lots of Ray Campbell stories. He was a kick in the ass.
And that is what Grey Water is - you can google it. I was surprised. But then the stuff you can get out of Google always amazes me. Ole Ray would have flipped over having that sort of research tool...

Hey! I done good on the list. I have the paper work for the pension in hand, it will go out today. And the recording interface is working (an initial setup faux-pas - ya need to select the driver. There were four other interface drivers on my machine, one being the Wave editor that I couldn't get to work right - any how; selected the Tascom 144 driver and everything was peachy.
Oh, and I got the Flamed Maple giggin' guitar all restrung, re-batteried and such. I am taking it up to the store this afternoon and sit around and pick with the boys a little. Start gettin' my cone-tree chops smoothed out...
Friday, cool. You'd think that Friday didn't mean shit to me, being that I got a Sunday and six Saturdays for any given week.
But the reality of it is that my chores have a weekday flavor to them. Some stuff has to wait for a weekday, can't be done on a real Saturday. Going to church with Nikki really eats a big hole into Sunday, pro football chews on the rest. Real Saturday football is shaping up to have a rivalry of sorts. CU and MU are playing next weekend... You're goin' down El!!
I said all that to say, I'm glad its Friday.
You all have yourselves a good day.
Oh, and Ray Campbell stories. Those are most likely start showing up on my Space, The Kitchen Table. That is getting ready to start taking on a major publishing role in my mental doodling. I'm in the process of coming up to speed on the new Editor/Publisher that Sarge installed last week.
Heh, I guess I better start popping the MS Calender up before I start calling out the given date/day...MaverickMan said:Morning Blooze.
I suppose that if you have six Saturdays and one Sunday you can put your Friday anywhere you want, even on Thursday.
Actually, I wish it was Friday.
I will have to become a regular reader over at your Space.
Have a wonderful Thursday..., Friday....., Saturday!

TheBloozeMan said:Heh, I guess I better start popping the MS Calender up before I start calling out the given date/day...
I guess I figured Friday 'cause El was packing for the weekend.
Who knows...
I better get some of the pieces I've been working on done. There isn't much going on over there right now...
I guess another reason for me hoping it was Friday is that it would be the day that Little Bit gets some of her stuff resolved. Wish her well for me...
This spaces thing is MicroSoft's version of MySpace. It is available to any hotmail account holder on a limited basis. There is a version that you can get that has a nominal yearly fee, and almost unlimited storage.ran57gr said:A resourceful man, Ray was. Also patient, persevering and tons of self confidence... an admirable person to know!
So... is that a Blog you set up there? I keep hearing about MySpace but I'm clueless on what it is

There will be Blogs, Albums and pictures, and all sorts of stuff when I get it going as planned.
This is the Sarge's Space. It can give you the idea of what is being done with things. There is a link to little J's Space in the Blog entry about hats.
I personally don't go near MySpace.com because of the Stigma attatched to older men lurking on a site frequented by young teenage girls.
I am working on...
- Ray Campbell Stories
- She's no Lady, She's My Cat
- My Guitar Collection
All of them are in a half assed state at the moment...
