Bathroom remodel, sigh...
View attachment 109923

There are parts of the world were that bathroom is considered finished, just saying.

I went to the market in Morocco and paid a Dude $1 to poop in a hole with a door... incredible. There were 2 raised foot pads to squat on. Nevermind the spigot to wash your fingers. Try to stay left handed.

That’s how they do it in Iraq and Kuwait. Probably most of their neighboring countries too. The water replaces toilet paper. Everyone is right handed except for butt wiping. The kids that have dominant left hand learn to eat and do most everything right handed anyways.
Seems weird but assuming they’re taking care of other personal hygiene, they seemed pretty clean.

Thousands of years of short finger nails.

not using water to clean the asshole is pretty unsanitary and gross if you think about it. smearing it around with TP is not clean. ever try washing your hands with no water? washing your dishes with no water? doesnt work.

It's debatable. I can wipe JB Weld off my fingers with a dry paper towel and that sticky stuff doesn't come off easily. Then consider how a toilet still needs cleaning sometimes even when water regularly flows in it. The scrubbing action is most important.

I had a long hard work day Tuesday. It happens. I felt fine at home that day, but yesterday and today I have lower back pain. Hopefully it is just temporary.

Wet wipes for the win.

A voice of reason.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Jeezus...its an asshole.

Its not meant to be eaten off of.

Unless you are at a weird naked sushi place.

 

[gf beranek]

Counter point.

 

[Mick!]

Wet wipes for the win.

Yeah, but they bugger up the sewage system.

 

[stikine]

Damn, what a derail !

 

[Tree09]

Lol we pride ourselves on our derails here!

That is where the origin of the term ‘kack handed’ came from when referring to left handers.

It is considered rude to even wave to someone with your left hand in Thailand. Right hand for eating and greeting, left hand for wiping your harris!

Sod toilet paper, bum gun to the rescue!

In fact I might get one fitted in my new bathroom.

Wet wipes for the win.

They were a godsend in India.

lol 'harris'

Back on track. Terri cooked up breakfast. Now having a cup and thinking about what to do.... I could work in the yard cutting and burning brush, yeah, or I could go on a hike. Looks like a nice day for a hike.

 

[cory]

What exactly is better than hiking?!?

 

[Burnham]

Only getting home afterwards well tired and enthused about the lovely day on the trail, building a nice fire in the woodstove, and drinking a glass or two of whatever suits in a comfortable chair hearthside.

4 miles today. 6 hours. 137 photographs later. Last mile was all up hill. 911 was unnecessary. I am settled in at home, fed and watered. You called it, Burnam.

I found a plant on the trail. I have a hunch what it is. A fern of sorts. Still emerging. A real oddity. Too early to tell what it is. A month or two more, considering the split, to tell for sure which species it is. I took pics, but will hold off on posting any until I know more. Exciting times.

Retirement is great! But painful.

Would be nice to see a few pics when you have a moment Ger.

At the farm for a few days. Alex brought his wife and the boys and we had a few days of knocking around and getting a few things done and playing too. Alex and I got to work on leveling the cabin some... That went better than expected so we had some time left over to go break some beaver dams. I went back and checked them the next day and two were still open but the main upper dam where the big pond is that is flooding the timber and the fields had been rebuilt. So I broke it again.

 

[pantheraba]

I hit send too soon... Meant to attach a few pictures
