Good morning Eggheads and creatures of gottahavegas.

The plumbing alert came early during the dark period, probably because the Ranch has gone from being artificially wetted to being naturally wetted. Yes, 'FINALLY' the sky leaked after many earthly rotations without doing so. All things organic have been enriched by copious amounts of the life-giving hydrogen/oxygen mix, including current CUICPS (carbon unit in charge of procuring supplies) for said Ranch (that would be me). Apparently, I absorbed a sufficient amount to overload my biofluid retention capabilities and the sensors were activated. Of course I responded in my highly efficient manner and sloshed my way to the facility maintenance unit where I applied the necessary corrective measures and solved the immediate crisis.

But yours truly was not the only source of a plumbing alert. It would appear that the plumbing infrastructure of this abode has acquired its own version of a fluid-based problem. Evidence clearly shows that the gray water discharge tubing that works its way under-deck from the food preparation area to a network of an increasingly larger and more complex drainage system that ultimately leads to an off-ranch location has developed an obstruction of some sort. The obstruction refuses to depart in spite of the repeated application of wonder-drugs designed and documentedly guaranteed to correct the situation. The next course of action may require the use of a manual device that calls for insertion of an extended length of metal coil into a special entry portal and leading to the offending obstruction. Then with extreme prejudice it encourages said blockage to break up into many non-annoying particles. A smaller version of this device is in the maintenance unit's inventory but experience tells me that a larger, more powerful version will be necessary. There is a nearby establishment that will accommodate my needs for a substantial fee or I can make use of the same equipment without the accompanying carbon unit for a substantially reduced fee, provided I serve as the operating carbon unit. In the interest of time management and budgetary control I shall opt for the less expensive of the two during the upcoming light period.

The food preparation area being a beehive of recent activity I can assure you that the refrigeration unit got a thorough workout as I required repeated ingestion of fluids. Each time I partially removed the forward bulkhead panel to obtain said fluid I also took the liberty to observe the illuminator. It never failed to illuminate.

I proceeded to the external observation device to confirm that the Ranch was safe and secure. Rodney Dangerbird waved that all was well. No need to ask what he and Miss Mona were doing.

A check of the Forum disclosed there to be only a few reports from the 16 Members and 98 Guests. I take that to mean only a few feel compelled to chat. My gray matter informs me that I should return to the recharging station to absorb as much energy as possible in anticipation of the morrow's tasks. I shall leave it to those wishing to chat.

Say goodnight Leroy.
