I Hate Indoor Plumbing


After spending several days at the in-law's cottage a few weeks ago - days spent rebuilding a deck and having no luck getting a water pump to work - we're going back for a spur-of-the-moment long-weekend.

My theory is that it's not safe to sneak up on the cottage like this. Big jobs (even bigger than deck repair) that were out-of-the-question for lack of strong backs, suddenly head to the top of the To Do List when a few more able bodies show up at the docks.

On the plus side, the weather There will be better than the weather Here, so it's conceivable that I'll get a few minutes to sit on that freshly-repaired deck with Book, Beer, and Snack. And if I really luck out, I may use the next three days to plough through six or seven pages of Infinite Jest.

Dare to dream.

Most probably it always happened indoor, but don't worry, you can hire a professional plumber.

Have you ever canoed from, say Parry Sound to the cottage?

I have never canoed between Parry Sound and the cottage. The closest I've come is using a small fishing boat with, like, a 10hp motor. That trip took an hour or so. A canoe trip - I shudder to think about the winds and big boats you'd be fighting.
