Replacing the sewer hose storage tube
A while back I bought a new sewer hose to use instead of the macerator pump whenever dumping the black and gray tanks is simply a matter of dropping a hose down a hole and letting gravity do the rest. As I'm getting more experience with this RVing business I'm finding this is usually the case and using a swer hose will greatly speed up the process. I'll still need the macerator pump at home where dumping the tanks into the septic system is on an up hill lie but otherwise a simple sewer hose is the way to go.
The old sewer hose storage tube was a section of 4 inch aluminum flexible duct that had seen better days and was too short for the new hose I bought. So I replaced it with a longer piece.

Politics and the English Language
....Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one's own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase -- some jackboot, Achilles' heel, hotbed, melting pot, acid test, veritable inferno, or other lump of verbal refuse -- into the dustbin, where it belongs.
