Oh I forgot, new insulated windows, new remodeled bathroom all new plumbing in the house. My new m29-10 in nickel is on the fly like turkeys are tree to tree just out of reach. It's my bucket list.
A few years back I had the cash but my LGS had the last S&W m24 44 special 6 1/2" in nickel, nib. Very rare? No longer offered? I grabbed it.
We started at the camp in the wilds with nothing so at 4am with no privy at 10 degrees with the wind howling was rough. I understood what my family told me about the old days with the Sears catalogue. Sleeping in the truck hunting. The next year we had a new privy, a trailer with woodstove heat. We had a nearby spring for fresh water. We were in heaven. With bears at our door step.

Correct, that's what I told my wife. The tube's kinda new and since it did nothing at all when switched on, I suspected the starter. A meter showed an open circuit. Got a starter on order.

Anything's better than eating Okra.
Except as Patton once quoted: Shoveling spit in Louisiana.

The thing is so everyone uses it, is to keep it squeaky clean, a scented spray helps too, air fresheners. Fresh paint often. Are you preppers listening? My camp was like trump towers with heat and a place to relieve yourself out of the weather.

Camping to some people is like staying at holiday inn with no room service.
We made gormet foods at my camp. Pastrami rubins, bacon, fried onion cheeseburgers on grilled cheese, made roast beef wraps for lunch in the deer stands. Had hard candy for in the stands too. I laugh when I see these guys hunting on tv.

A local Girl Scout camp my buddies and I used to explore when it was not in use had a six hole outhouse with a sign that read "Sitting Bull." The outhouse and the camp are long gone. Million dollar homes took its place.

Outhouse memories.....
A brand new "public facility" (local government outhouse) in the Australian outback had this scrawled on the wall.
This flamin' dunny
Is no good at all!
The seat is too high
And the hole is too small!
To this (my complaint), came
City Councils retort:
Your butt is too big
And your legs are too short.

Update:
We got a now started for the kitchen light, installed it, flipped the switch and nothing.
So now I have a new ballast on order, should be here in about a week.
We're still waiting on the new toilet.

I meant to say in one of my earlier posts, DON'T BUY A CHEAP GLACIER BAY TOILET FROM HOME DEPOT. They are inexpensive and worth every penny that you pay for them, NOT.
One of the items in your home that you don't want to skimp on is your toilet. My plumbers won't even repair them. They can be had for $80 to $100 and are just awful.
Spend the extra money and buy an American Standard, Toto or a Kohler. They are probably twice the money but worth four times that of the Glacier Bay. Most toilets today are 1.6 or 1.3 gallons but the Glacier Bay won't flush one mini marsh mellow in a single flush.
Not sure if it's how they are designed or where they are made but they are junk.
Just a little tip from someone that's been doing this for over 45 years.

Update:
I just took a nice poo in our nice shiny new toilet. It's an aquasource, the height's just right and the oval front gives me just enough room.
I'm just 5'8" tall and my wife's 5'3.5" so we didn't want something too tall.
It has a double action flush valve. One quick push for tinkle and hold it for poop.
The kitchen light's in pieces in our back bedroom. Turns out it wasn't the starter so the only other thing's the ballast. Got one on order. Yes we tried a new bulb.

Honestly, the thought did cross my mind.
The missus hid the camera, huh?
Good luck with the lights, the tubes go wonky in my kitchen every year at this time when the house gets opened up... no idea why. I'll flip them end for end and wind up replacing two of the six 30 inchers.
I should look into those LED retro fits.

Let there be light.
The new ballast came in today. Took a coupla minutes to install it and now there's a nice bright light in the kitchen.
Apparently my wife was very pleased with this.
When she switched it on and the kitchen lit up, she let out a loud squeal.
Glad my ears were already ringin', 'cause that woulda done it.
I asked her what are you gonna give me for that?
She gave me a cigar, a chocolate cigar from her special stash of chocolate cigars.

Now it's no more cooking supper with flashlights.
