The second greatest invention of western civilization is…

…the hot shower. And Ian’s got one up and running in his cave.

Heaven. And just in time, too, because summer has finally arrived in all its glory. Anybody spying on the Gulch from a high-flying drone got an eyeful today, boy. I was gathering up my towel and such for the hike from the Lair to the Cave, wondering if I wanted to bother with all the belt kibble, and then I thought “Why do I want to bother with clothes at all? It’s been a while, but as I recall one showers in the nude.”

What’s that? You want pictures?

Pervert. My name ain’t Kardashian.

    If you’d brought your AK you could have marched along singing “This is my rifle, this is my gun…”.

    Hmmm…. Did the laws of probability get suddenly suspended for that stroll? sigh… Hope you did take a rifle… Song optional. 🙂

    🙂 The level of my foolishness may be inferred from the fact that I did not bring a rifle – but I did consider doing so.

    Different sorts of people will interpret that statement in different ways.

    You don’t have a large capacity solar shower mounted on a pole or the side of your cabin?????

    Never got around to it. I could only use it about half the year, and have grown used to heating water on the stove for sponge baths. But today I’m re-thinking that…

    Please no shower pictures. If I wanted to see something old and wrinkly, I would look in the mirror

  7. Well – Joel – since you’re willing to discuss the matter…

    In years past I had tolerable results from using a solar shower bag – not with the solar part – but with water heated on a stove. (that’s where a gallon kettle comes in handy) Even in the low deserts the water never really heated up that much when setting the bag out in the sun – particularly in the winter. Does your bathroom have a floor drain? The bag can be hung from a stud/joist and the whole show brought indoors.

    ‘Course – if you just like sponge baths – forget I said anything!
