Living simply while loving the journey

Living a simple life while trying to thrive in everything we do. If we don't do what we love, it isn't worth doing!

Excited about Poop and living in the moment!

I never thought in a million years I would be excited helping Travis out draining old poop from a trailer. We bought a Rhino Flex system for sewage waste and it worked great. 
When we got our new, old, trailer home we had to check out the black water system. It was full, much to our surprise and shock. We have no idea how long these little turds had been waiting in there for us, so we knew we had a battle to get the black tank to turn back to clear. 
We first tried unloading 1/2 gallon of bleach and filling it with water. In a attempt to dislodge some of the century old turds. 
After doing that 3-4 times and using a bucket to take what came out, we brought each bucket full down the side of the mountain to bury it. Next, came my going to camping world to pick up a bottle of TST tank cleaner. That helped dislodge some of these things but still not quite enough. 
On what felt like the 10th time of filling up the tank, Travis figured out that there was a wand in our cubby that had a little hole that shot water into our tank to really give these turds a run for their money. 
At last, after attaching the Rhino Flex hose, clear elbow and digging a rather large hole, came the last of the ancient turds lurking in the corners!!!! 

Hooray for a clean black water tank. No more than a hour after it was spick and span, Zion had to poop. Well here is to the journey of the black water tank. 

We are really feeling quite at home in our trailer now. We have almost everything packed into that  we will need, and the rest in waiting in the house for hopefully future yard salers to buy. During the day Zion gets to play in the dirt out the front door or run his 20" mini winnebago through our "living room." All in all, when you finally get to live out your dream of living a more simple life, I realize I have been more in the moment the past week, then I have in the past year of my life. I get to enjoy my afternoons playing with Zion, not having to worry about a house to clean or anything other than enjoying my son and God's beauty that we are parked in front of. Thank God for giving us desire to dream big or small, and even more then that able to accomplish those dreams!!
