In 1962, Brendon Grimshaw purchased Moyenne Island in the Seychelles for £8000.  He planted 16,000 trees on the island, brought and bred giant tortoises, and introduced a variety of bird life.  He was the sole inhabitant of the island until his death in 2012.  Instead of selling it, he declared the island a national park.

‘Malleus Maleficarum’, a 15th century witch-hunting manual, described how witches kept ‘live’ wriggling penises as pets.  The witches were said to have kept the penises in nests in trees and to have fed them oats.  Written by Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer, ‘Malleus Maleficarum’ is of course today regarded as misogynistic nonsense.  However, centuries ago, such books would have resulted in the gruesome murders of women accused of being witches.

Okay, that’s enough information for one day.  Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday!  I love you all.

USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) arrived at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) July 7 for an Extended Carrier Incremental Availability.  

Coming off a seven-month deployment, Truman now joins USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) as the second carrier on the NNSY waterfront.  If the Bush’s Drydocking Planned Incremental Availability is a marathon involving extensive maintenance, then Truman’s availability is more of a sprint, requiring approximately 208,000 workdays of maintenance and expected to complete in a matter of months.  

For the first time at NNSY, two carriers will share a single pier.  The Bush will undock later this summer to complete the last leg of its availability.   The Truman project team has positioned itself for success in several ways, including getting an early start at Naval Station Norfolk for several weeks prior to the carrier’s arrival at NNSY, offloading the air wing, moving trailers onboard, performing shipchecks, and making access cuts.  

The Truman project team, and NNSY as a whole, have worked through resource issues in recent months due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  While a project team often looks to similar past availabilities to glean lessons learned, for Truman “we are actually developing lessons learned from a situation that has never been seen before,” according to Deputy Project Superintendent Lt. Nic Twisselman.  “The project team has been extremely flexible and resilient.  We have seen numerous changes over a very short period of time and everyone has worked diligently and steadfast to ensure that NNSY supports Truman and the Fleet, especially taking into account that Truman just returned from a deployment of seven months.”

The Truman project team will benefit from a Surge Maintenance (SurgeMain) mobilization effort across all four of the nation’s public shipyards.   NNSY is welcoming approximately 140 reserve Sailors this month to eventually culminate in more than 480 reservists supporting work on a variety of NNSY projects through September 2021.  Established in 2005, SurgeMain has 2,200 enlisted Reserve Sailors and 240 Reserve officers across 75 units, created to augment the Navy's organic civilian shipyard workforce in times of need.  Capt. Michael P. MacLellan, SurgeMain's national director, said the 480-plus Sailors that will support NNSY have the knowledge and skills to hit the deckplates ready to turn wrenches to deliver critical assets like Truman back to the Fleet.  "Our Sailors are electricians, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, plumbers, hydraulic technicians, mechanics, machinists, carpenters, welders and more," he said.  "Many of our people have prior experience at the shipyard where they're being sent, right down to the specific shop where they will be working alongside the shipyard's organic civilian workforce."

Last month, NNSY returned to full operations welcoming back all members of its civilian workforce who were on Weather and Safety (Administrative) Leave due to COVID-19 concerns.  In addition to vital work on Truman, NNSY has a number of other critical deliverables on the horizon, including completion of USS Wyoming’s (SSBN 742) Engineered Refueling Overhaul, and undocking both Bush and USS San Francisco (SSN 711), with the latter undergoing conversion into a Moored Training Ship to train the next generations of fleet operators.  

In response to COVID-19 concerns, NNSY has safeguarded employee safety and health through enhanced screening at exterior gates to include temperature checks, regular disinfecting of common and high-touch areas, establishment of handwashing and hand sanitizer stations, practicing physical distancing and mandatory wearing of face coverings. Given the Truman was in a mobile COVID-free bubble at sea, Twisselman said, “We have brought our lessons learned and the practices we have been adhering to here at NNSY to the crew of the Truman that was out at sea and only recently were fully indoctrinated into the COVID way of life.”

  “It was just a few weeks ago that the ship made history performing exercises with USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), marking the first time a Ford-class and Nimitz-class carrier were together at sea,” said Shipyard Commander, Captain Kai Torkelson.   “Now that the Truman is out of its bubble at sea, we welcome them into the bubble of America’s Shipyard, where we all stand united in minimizing the spread while maximizing the mission working these next several months providing superior quality and reliable delivery!”

“Come on you son of a bitch,” Dean muttered as he thumped the jukebox with his hand. Looking at Sam as he talked to your dad, but then shifted your gaze to see Dean getting his frustrations out on a jukebox. Getting up, you walked over to him before standing to the side of the juke.

“Having trouble?”

“This fucking thing won’t start,” Dean groaned.

“Check this out,” you grinned as your hands glowed a bright blue. Wiggling your eyebrows at Dean, you made sure no one was watching before placing both your hands to each side of the box. Almost immediately, it fired to life and music started playing softly over the speakers.

“You shouldn’t be using your magic in public,” Dean lightly scolded.

“If I have it, may as well enjoy it.”

“Weren’t you the one who told us you were scared shitless about the things you can do? You’re acting like this is no big deal.”

“It’s the only way I can cope with it, you know? I have to entertain myself somehow,” you sighed, looking over at Sam once he hung up. “Come on,” you and Dean walked back to Sam as soon as he started typing.

“What did my dad say?”

“He found something in Wyoming.”

“A job?”

“Maybe,” Sam said as Dean bit into his burger.

“Small town, no one's died in the past week and a half.”

“That’s so unusual?” you asked with a small smile.

“Well, it's how they're not dying. One guy with terminal cancer strolls right out of hospice. Another guy gets capped by a mugger and walks away without a scratch,” Sam explained as he turned his laptop so you can Dean could read what is on screen. Each tab he had opened was for the Greybull Gazette with the top article that reads: Shooting victim walks away unharmed. Right underneath that, it reads: Police and medical authorities are struggling for an explanation as to why local resident Jim Jenkins was able to walk away from a point-blank shooting incident. After leaving Bison Bud's Bar, Mr. Jenkins and friend Pete Hensley were confronted by a mugger in a nearby alley. After a brief altercation, the mugger fired a shot from a 9mm Automatic, hitting Jenkins…

“Police say Mr. Jenkins was shot in the heart at point-blank range by a nine-millimeter,” Sam said as he turned the laptop back around.

“And he’s not a doughnut?” Dean asked with his mouth full.

“Locals are saying it's a miracle. It's got to be something nasty, right? I mean, people making deals or something.”

“You think so?” you asked.

“What else would it be?”

“I don’t know.”

“Alright, get that to go,” Sam told his brother as he packed up. Dean gave you a look once before placing his burger down and brushes his hands together to get the crumbs off.

“And I know just the cover,” you grinned.

“Now, you three said you were bloggers?” Jim asked once you got there. He invited you into his home to talk about what happened to him. Thinking bloggers about the lord were better than FBI, the brothers gave your idea a shot.

“Yes, sir. Flooredbythelord.com,” you chuckled.

“All of God's glory fit to blog,” Dean grins, giving you and Sam a glance.

“Um. Some of the people around town are saying what happened to you was a miracle,” Sam started.

“It was. Plain as day.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“How else do you explain it? The doctors can't. There's a bullet in my heart, and it's pumping like a piston.”

“How do you explain it?” you asked gently. Jim hesitated as he looked over at his daughter and wife in the next room as they colored together.

“Look, honestly, I was nobody's saint—not exactly father of the year, either. But when that guy shot me and I didn't bleed a drop? I just knew the Lord was giving me a second chance. I had this feeling—like angels were watching over me. I wouldn't expect you guys to understand.”

“We can try,” you shrugged lightly.

“You wouldn't have happened to have swung by a crossroads in the past week or so?” Sam asked.

“No.”

“Maybe you met someone? With black eyes? Or red?”

“Who'd you guys say you were again?” Jim asked suspiciously. Exchanging glances with the brothers, you got up since that was your cue to leave.

“Never mind. Thank you for your time.” Following your lead, the brothers walked to the car before getting inside. “Sam, you should check out the cancer guy. Dean and I can do some more research to find out who the last person to die was. We can go from there.”

“Sounds good,” both brothers agreed before Dean started the car. Once Sam found out where the cancer guy lived, Dean dropped him off before heading straight to the motel room. Once inside, you got to work on finding out who the last person to die was. It took all night, but the earliest you could find was ten days ago. As soon as you found the article, Sam entered the motel room.

“Find anything?” you asked.

“That cancer survivor? He was clinically dead, his wife pulled the plug, and now he's taking her out for their twentieth anniversary.”

“No sign of a deal?”

“None. What about you two? Found anyone dying around here?”

“Not since Cole Griffith,” Dean answered, enlarging the picture of the kid. “He dropped ten days ago. It was the last death we could find.”

“So, what are you thinking?” Sam asked once he saw the looks on yours and Dean’s faces.

“Eh, maybe it is what the people say it is,” Dean replied, getting up to pour himself a cup of coffee.

“Miracles? In our experience, when do miracles just happen?”

“Well, there are no deals. There's, uh, no skeevy faith healers. I mean, these souls just ain't getting dragged into the light.”

“Maybe that’s because there’s no one around to carry them,” you thought out loud.

“What do you mean?”

“Think about it. Remember that faith healer when you got electrocuted? As you were dying, you saw that man in the black suit and I saw him as well? He’s a reaper to take your soul away, but if there aren’t any in town, then no one’s dying. They have no guide to carry them away.”

“So, what? The local reaper's on strike? Playing the back nine? I don't know, Y/N.”

“Then we talk to someone who might. Cole is the last person to die, right? He should know where the reapers are, if not, where to find them. We just got to talk to him.”

“I love how matter-of-fact you are about that. Strange lives,” Dean chuckled as he sipped his coffee.

“Sam.”

“I’m already on it,” he said as he typed away. Grinning, you stole some of Dean’s coffee when he wasn’t looking.

Sam got the whole séance thing set up with five candles around a pentacle drawn on cloth that was spread over Cole’s grave. Sam placed a bunch of stuck in the middle of the pentacle while you and Dean watched from another grave nearby.

“You sure this is going to work?” Dean asked as he flipped through his dad’s journal.

“Yeah, Sam, it’s cold,” you shivered, watching your breath come out in short spurts.

“No, Dean, I’m not sure this will work, but if his spirit's around, this should smoke him out. And Y/N, this was your idea.”

“This job is jacked,” Dean sighed as he closed the journal.

“How so?”

“You want me to gank a monster or torch a corpse, hey, let's light it up, right? But this? If we fix whatever this is, people are gonna start dropping dead. Good people.”

“Dean, you can’t mess with the balance of life. If it’s their time to go, it’s their time,” you said.

“There is a natural order,” Sam agreed.

“You're kidding, right? You don't see the irony in that? I mean, you, me and Y/N, we're like the poster children of the unnatural order. All we do is ditch death.”

“Yeah, but the normal rules don't really apply to us, do they?” you chuckled.

“We're no different than anybody else.”

“I'm infected with demon blood. You've been to hell. Y/N is a witch for crying out loud. Look, I know you want to think of yourself as Joe the Plumber, Dean, but you're not. Neither am I or Y/N. The sooner you accept that the better off you're gonna be. So, you two gonna help me finish this?”

Groaning, you got up to help when you heard a man’s voice and a flash of light from behind.

“Hey! What are you doing here?”

“Just take it easy,” Sam tried.

“What the hell is this?”

“Okay, this—this—this is not what it looks like,” Dean laughed.

“Really? 'Cause it looks like devil worship.”

“What? No! No, this is not devil worship. This—This is—this—this is, uh,” Dean shrugged with a shake of his head. “I don't have a good answer.”

“We’re leaving,” you said to the man.

“You're not going anywhere,” the man said as he took a few steps forward. “Ever again. Y/N, Sam, Dean.” Suddenly, his eyes rolled to the back of his head, showing off the white that his normal ones usually look like before going back to normal.

“Alastair. I thought you got deep fried, extra-crispy,” Dean said.

“Nah. Just the pediatrician I was riding. His wife's still looking for him. It's hilarious. Anyway, no time to chat. Got a hot date with death.”

Alastair flicked his hand, sending Dean crashing into a grave which knocked him unconscious. The demon went to do the same to you, but at the last second, your arm went up in a straight vertical line with your hand in a fist just as a shield-like forcefield half surrounded you.

“Oh, look who is getting stronger,” Alastair laughed. “Nor strong enough to beat me,” he crushed his hand into a fist which shattered your shield before he flicked you away, the same thing happening to you.

“Dean! Y/N!” Sam yelled, but you couldn’t do anything but lay there.

Really???

I’m taking a poll. I’m taking a poll. Is there anyone who thinks that the third stair on the set of stairs is a perfectly normal and obvious place to leave a freaking key? There are plumbing contractors working on the property my son and his dad bought with money from sale of farmland, so we can move in. It’s a 260 mile round trip from our current location. One of the plumbers was in there today while we were also dealing with internet people, and he left without saying boo. Thought he accidentally took the key from the lock box with him.

While we were having dinner halfway back to Denver from this property which is out in the tri-state area of Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, I get a call from the senior plumber about some issues with the kitchen sink and sump pump. After talking with him I mentioned that his assistant must have taken the key.

“No, he left it,” the man said. “We always leave it on the third stair.”

Oh, of course. Not put it back in the lock box or even on the windowsill. The third stair. Which is where everybody leaves their fucking keys. How could I not have known.

So now we have to leave at 5 AM to go back up there tomorrow, which we were not planning to do. Working with these guys has been kind of a cluster fuck because they don’t communicate worth a shit.

I don’t want to be “that customer,” especially since it’s so hard to find people to come out that far in the sticks, but…

The third stair is where you put the damn key. Really???

----------------------------------------------

IF everybody knows about the third step rule, then so do the crooks.

No, you put the key back where you found it, in a SAFE place.

4x15: Death Takes a Holiday

Then:

Pamela!

Now:

Two men are leaving a bar, arguing about football. They’re approached by a jumpy dude with a gun, and one guy is shot in the robbery gone wrong. His friend starts CPR (I’m no expert, but maybe stop the bleed out from the bullet wound first?) It’s not for nothing though because his friend wakes up and isn’t even bleeding. He’s fine!

At a diner, Sam gets a case from Bobby: a town in Wyoming where no one has died in a week and a half.

Sam’s ready to go ASAP, but Dean gets a bit pouty and passively-aggressively asks if Sam wants him to go. “I don’t want to be holding you back or nothing.”

They show up to interview the not-dead guy as Christian bloggers. “All of God’s glory, fit to blog.” The guy feels like he’s been given a second chance. Angels are watching over him. Dean’s look of doubt was PRICELESS.

Back at their motel, they go over all the people not dying recently. Sam surmises that maybe there aren’t any reapers to do their job. Death isn’t around.

The brothers decide to talk to the last person who died in the town, the kid Cole Griffith. They perform a ceremony over his grave. Dean has doubts about this case. If they solve this, then everyone starts dying again. How fair is that? Dean thinks it’s unfair that they get to keep living but Sam points out that they’re not normal. Ah, Dean just wants normalcy, while Sam has long since walked away from that world. A man interrupts their little ceremony.

It’s quickly revealed to be Alistair! Dean gets knocked out. Before Sam can work his demon blood mojo on him, he smokes out.

Later at the motel, Dean is laying down nursing his broken head and Sam walks in. (Sidenote: I never picked up on Dean calling Sam “House” before. It makes me happy that Dean’s watched that show.) Sam lies about what happened with Alistair. Dean isn’t having it. Sam reports that Bobby thinks that the local reaper has been kidnapped. If a reaper is killed on a solstice moon (tomorrow), a seal is broken. “You can’t kill death.” Lol, Dean, you keep insisting on that.

Dean suggests they become ghosts to locate the missing reaper. They call Pamela. She thinks they’re idiots, but Dean gives her some good reasons for their plan, and then they set things in motion.

Once in the veil, the brothers wander around, but seem to find nothing. Dean opts to be a perv and suggests heading to Victoria Secret (like, gross, this feels so ooc for Dean). The boys finally see Cole Griffith, the last person to die in the town.

Cut to Cole’s mother, who is clearly in deep mourning and believes that he’s still around. Technically, he is, and Sam and Dean attempt to talk with him. Cole recounts his death to Sam and Dean. He mentions that a reaper was there to take him away, but black smoke came and took the man away. He knows where the black smoke is.

Lights flicker and Cole utters, “They’re back.” before glitching out. Sam and Dean follow a gust of air, another reaper, only to find Tessa.

Dean doesn’t remember her, so Tessa kisses him (!) and gives him memories of when he was in the veil before. Tessa’s here for Cole, but the brothers plead with her that they need him to find the demon that kidnapped the other reaper. They tell her to get out of town. She agrees to hold off on reaping Cole for a bit.

Sam heads up to talk to the kid, who doesn’t want to help the Winchesters. Instead, he’d rather hide from Tessa and other reapers. (Understandable.) Sam tells him that he can make it so that nobody ever tries to come for him again. Sam, you dirty liar.

Downstairs, Tessa tells Dean that he’s “the one that got away.” Dean confesses to her that he felt empty after his run-in with her in the hospital, and wished for death. But now things are different. “What? The angels on your shoulder?” Tessa guesses with some layer of contempt. Yeah, actually.

Dean still regrets his time in Hell, but now he has a higher calling. Tessa gets ready to lay down a truth bomb, but Interrupting Sam interrupts.

Cole confronts Tessa. He tells them that he saw the black smoke at the funeral home as well. And then...it swarms into Cole’s house like an angry storm. When it clears out, Tessa is gone. It’s time to become a ghost ninja! A little wax on, wax off! Let’s Karate Kid this bitch! “Who’s Mister Miyagi?” Cole asks, and my entire generation weeps into their hands.

Outside, Dean stares intently (and rather gormlessly) at a porch whirlygig, trying to make it spin. When it moves at last, it’s time to celebrate! But Cole immediately shows him up by making about 5,000 things move at the same time, including the whirlygig. The master has arrived. It’s time for a ghost training montage, friends. There’s punching! There’s kicking! There’s popping in and out of planes of existence!

Finally trained, the Winchesters head to the funeral home. It’s heavily warded in blue writing that only seems to be visible on the spiritual plane. Inside the home, two reapers (including Tessa) lie in a reaper trap. The Winchesters wax on and off at a demon guard and it’s going pretty well until the demon drags an iron chain around the trap, blocking out Sam and Dean. Alistair swaggers inside wearing the sleazy-voiced meatsuit we all love to hate.

Alistair takes a shotgun and shoots Dean square in the chest, causing him to flash out into nothing. Sam tries to fry Alistair, but his spirit doesn’t have the magical demon-blood powers. Alistair shoots Sam, and then takes his alone time with Dean to skeevily tell him that it’s good to see him. God, the way he looks at and talks to Dean just makes me want to take a shower.

Pamela hears a noise in the room where she’s guarding the Winchesters. She locks the door, but curtains blow in the breeze. The window’s open.

Alistair holds forth his villain monologue and waves around a scythe - Death’s own scythe, in fact. He uses it to ceremonially kill the first reaper. Lights flash and...BOOM...one reaper down. Meanwhile, Sam may not have special demon powers, but he does have ghosty powers. He concentrates on the chandelier. It falls, breaking the reaper trap and freeing Tessa.

Meanwhile, Pamela gets attacked by the demon who snuck into the room. She manages to utter the words to wake up Sam, but not in time to save her life. She gets stabbed right after Sam wakes up. Sam, in retribution, exorcises the demon with his mighty fist of doom. Since Pamela can’t die, she orders Sam to make her a drink. (PAMELA, take Sam up on the offer of a hospital visit. You could be given life-saving surgery while you’re quasi-immortal.)

Alistair confronts Dean’s spirit outside of the building. He continues to play with his favorite toy, taunting Dean about his Mariana-Trench-deep self loathing. Lightning falls from the sky and chases Alistair away.

“What the hell?” Dean asks, shocked.

“Guess again,” says Castiel from behind him. LOL, Cas, you’re so extra. I love you.

Cas tells Dean that the Winchesters saved the seal. Hooray! Dean’s not throwing any parties, though, because Cas just revealed that he sat around invisible while the Winchesters fought. Apparently the funeral home was warded against angels so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Furthermore, Cas tells Dean that is was HE who called Sam about the seal, and not Bobby. He recruited the Winchesters using clever subterfuge, for he is a master strategist and the Winchesters never do what he tells them to do. LOL. Dean asks Cas to spare the lives of the deathless people in town but Cas refuses. He’ll only save Dean Winchester out of season, because he’s “different.” Aw, that’s...sweet?

(It’s not sweet - it’s orders - but that’ll come later.)

Tessa shows up and brings Dean to talk to Cole. Cole’s mom is looking at photos and crying. Tessa tells Cole that he needs to let go in order to give her peace. Cole isn’t convinced, so it’s Dean’s turn. “One day your family will be gone, and there'll be nothing left here for you,” he says. And...ouch. (Also, I’m just going to wander over to this convenient fainting couch and think about this line as it applies to Castiel way out here on the back stretches of Season 14.)

“We’re all scared. That’s the big secret,” Dean tells Cole, about his fear of the unknown afterlife. That honesty, coupled with his mother’s sorrow, finally convinces Cole. He embraces Tessa who absorbs him into light. Cole’s mother looks a little happier, and Dean says farewell to Tessa. She warns him that his belief in being saved for good things is wrong-footed. “Stop lying to yourself, Dean. The angels have something good in store for you? A second chance. Really?” OUCH. “There’s no such thing as miracles,” Tessa tells him, and then off she pops. Uh, ttyl babe.

Pamela wakes up Dean and blood begins coursing from her gut. It’s an awful farewell, bitter and painful. She chokes out curses against Bobby for ever getting her embroiled in the Winchesters’ affairs. Her parting words are to Sam: the demon-darkness he’s taken inside of him are not leading him to a good place. She dies and...drops the mic, I guess.

“What’d she say to you?” Dean asks. Sam doesn’t say a word.

Because I Could not Stop for Quotes They Kindly Stopped for Me:

Joe the Plumber was a douche

We're like the poster boys of the unnatural order

You can't kill death

We're talking the end of the world here, okay? No more tasseled leather pants, no more Ramones CDs, no more nothing

You're the one that got away, Dean

Dude, I’m not gonna do Fight Club with a twelve year old

Whatever I ask, you seem to do the exact opposite

There's no such thing as miracles

KANYE WEST

Hello and welcome to another weekly installment of Rapper Roast and Boast. I’m Natalie and I will be your tour guide as we dive into the style of iconic rapper and fashion designer Kanye West. Kanye has been a major aspect of American music culture, gaining popularity in the late 90s. In more recent years, Kanye has skyrocketed his fame in the fashion industry after the launch of his brand Yeezy. 

Jumping into Kanye’s personal style, the first thing that can be noticed is his love for monochromatic and neutral color schemes. As seen in the first photo below, Kanye paired an oversized white t-shirt with white jeans and cream utility boots. Although monochromatic looks are seen as simple, it is a signature and distinguishing style for Kanye. 

Moving right along it is very apparent that Kanye loves a good ol’ sweatshirt. I mean, who doesn’t? Kanye was spotted wearing a lemon yellow sweatshirt layered beneath his Wyoming merch for one of his Sunday Services. Most of Kanye’s style is pairing a regular or oversized sweatshirt alongside a neutral-toned pair of pants. Hey, we all love to be comfortable but Kanye makes it fashion. 

Even for formal events, Kanye can be recognized by his minimalistic attire. In both photos below, Kanye is accompanying his wife Kim Kardashian West at two different Met Galas. For the events, Kanye stuck to all-black looks giving the spotlight to Kim who wore more flashy attire.  

One aspect of Kanye’s self-expression that is not so subtle is his occasional whacky hair color choice. Kanye can be seen sporting multi-colored hair and blue flames. 

The last, but my favorite, signature style by Kanye is what I like to call “plumber chic”. His choice of khaki and denim Carhartt jackets give off the oh so familiar vibes of your local handyman. If anyone can pull it off and make it fashion, it’s Kanye West. 

Thanks for tagging along this week as we dissected the fashion choices of THE man, Kanye West. Join us next week for another installment of Rapper Roast and Boast. Peace out!

thick, and a safe distance from the work

        Now, as Bruce changed the lumber from the raw spot on his right shoulder to the raw spot on his left shoulder he was wondering how much more of a chance was due Jennings, how much longer he could hold his tongue. A more extended acquaintance with his “practical man” had taught him how easily a virtue may become a fault.       In his insistence upon solidity and exactitude he went beyond the point of careful workmanship and became a putterer. He was the King of Putterers. He could out-putter a plumber. And when he had finished it was usually some unimportant piece of work that any man who handled tools could have done as well in half the time.       Bruce had a favorite bush, thick, and a safe distance from the work, behind which it was his wont to retire at such times as the sight of Jennings puttering while the crew under him stood idle, became too much for Bruce’s nerves.

Laundry-to-Garden: How to Irrigate with Graywater – Modern Farmer@|how to use grey water in the garden@|http://modernfarmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Home-Greywater-System-Diagram.jpg@|21

What is graywater, exactly? Household wastewater from washing machines, bathroom sinks, showers, and bathtubs is considered “gray” because it is only lightly soiled and poses a minimal health risk. As long as you’re only putting biodegradable products down the drain, graywater is perfectly safe for irrigating plants. Kitchen sink water is technically considered graywater as well, but because of its grease content it often requires additional treatment before being used for irrigation.

In contrast, blackwater – what you flush down the toilet – requires intensive treatment before it may be reused in the landscape, which is not a feasible (or legal) DIY project.

[external_link_head]

There are brain-dead simple ways to recycle graywater – we list a few here – but they require sloshing around with a bucket or some other form of manual labor every time you want to irrigate. And there are high-tech methods as well, but these require serious plumbing knowledge and a significant financial investment. The washing machine method is in between – anyone with basic household tools and good mechanical abilities can pull it off in a weekend. It will run you a few hundred dollars for supplies.

The Basics

Laundry machines are equipped with a pump to push the wastewater out of the machine and into a sewer pipe. The brilliance of this system, first developed by Art Ludwig of Oasis Design in Southern California, is that is uses a washing machine’s built-in pump to distribute the wastewater through a system of subsurface pipes to irrigate individual plants around the yard. The water flows out into mulch-filled basins around each plant, where the roots can access the moisture.

This design is most effective for watering fruit trees, berry bushes, edible vines, and other large permanent plants. It is not useful irrigating lots of little plants, like flowers beds, lawns, and annual vegetables.

A few other caveats:

you can’t irrigate areas uphill from the washing machine (the pump isn’t strong enough)

you also can’t irrigate plants on a slope (though you can run the water downhill from the machine to irrigate a flat area below)

don’t use this method if you’re washing dirty diapers in the washing machine (that makes it blackwater)

don’t apply the greywater to plantings along streams or on swampy ground (to avoid contamination)

you may only use biodegradable products in your washing machine (this means no bleach, borax, or sodium)

Is It Legal?

Graywater systems are increasingly embraced by authorities across the country, especially in regions where water is scarce. Most greywater systems require a permit (and often a licensed plumber) to install them, but the washing machine system is unique in that is explicitly legal for homeowners to install it without a permit in five states – California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Wyoming – and with a little negotiation at your local building department, is likely to pass muster in most localities (though a permit maybe required).

Municipalities tend to be lenient in how they regulate the washing machine greywater systems because this approach does not alter your household plumbing, and the graywater remains below ground at all times, eliminating any health risks. Still, check with local authorities before proceeding. Graywater rules for a number of states beside the five above may be found here .

[external_link offset=1]

Step One: Calculate System Size

Before you get out your tools, pick up a pencil and paper and determine how many plants you are able to irrigate. Engineers have elaborate methods to make such calculations, but that’s not necessary for our purposes. For each load of laundry you run per week, plan on irrigating 1 to 2 fruit trees, 3 to 4 berry bushes, 3 to 4 edible vines, and 6 to 8 smaller perennial plants (such as roses, lavender, or artichokes) per load.

These guidelines are based on 20 gallons of water per load, which is typical for most washing machines. However, it’s best to check your owner’s manual for the exact water use of your model and adjust your plans accordingly (compact and water efficient machines may use half that amount).

Also, consider your soil conditions. If the soil is sandy, irrigation water drains away quickly; conversely, drainage is poor in heavy clay soil. If drainage is very poor, spread the wastewater over twice as many plants as recommended above. In extremely sandy soil, cut the number of plants in half to make sure there is enough moisture to go around.

Finally, use common sense in calculating the irrigation requirements of individual plants. A newly planted fruit tree requires a fraction of the water of a large mature tree. And drought tolerant species like olives and figs require much less water than moisture-lovers like blueberries and asparagus.

There is no need to get too scientific about the calculations – if in doubt, it’s better to overwater with this system because the mulch pits act as a sponge, allowing the roots to absorb the water they want and minimizing the risk of drowning the plants.

Step Two: Dig the Trenches

Washing machine pumps are not very powerful, so the plants to be irrigated should be within 50 feet of the machine, assuming the terrain is more or less flat. A network of flexible tubing buried in trenches below the soil will deliver water to each plant. The trenches can go up and down over modest humps and dips in the landscape, but should not run directly uphill. (the 50 feet doesn’t include any distance that the piping runs down an incline to reach the planting area, as gravity takes care of that part).

Starting from the exterior wall of your home closest to the washing machine, dig a shallow (2 to 3 inches) trench to the nearest plant that you wish to irrigate. Stop the trench at the edge of the “drip line” of the plant – directly below the outermost leaves and branches – and from there dig a trench to the drip line of the next plant, to the next, and so on.

Then dig a trench approximately 10 inches deep and 8 inches wide in a circle around the drip line of each plant. Another option that works well for smaller plants that are planted in a row is to dig a straight trench along the edge of the drip line on one side of the row (up to a maximum length of about 12 feet). The trenches will be filled with mulch to absorb the graywater.

Step Three: Lay the Pipe and Spread the Mulch

Lay 1” HDPE flexible tubing (often referred to as poly pipe) in the shallow trenches, cutting it and inserting barbed “Ts ,” “elbows ,” and other fittings where necessary. Run ½” tubing off the main 1” line to each of the deeper trenches, leaving a few inches of tubing sticking out into each trench. Secure the fittings with hose clamps .

Washing machine pumps are only strong enough to push water through 10 to 12 irrigation points at once. If you’re going to irrigate more plants, divide the pipe network into two zones with a three-way valve . The valve should be left accessible in a valve box so you can operate it manually.

1-gallon plastic pots provide a simple way to keep the mulch inside the trenches around each plant away from the outlet of each pipe so the water can flow unobstructed. First, cut off the bottom of the pot. Then drill a 1 ¼-inch hole into one side of the pot about 2 inches above the bottom. Fill the bottom of the trench around each plant with 4 inches of wood chips (compacted with your feet). Slide the pots over the ends of the tubing in each trench, with the bottom of the pots facing up so the top of the pot is resting on the mulch.

[external_link offset=2]

Then fill the remainder of the trenches around each plant with wood chips. Use a concrete stepping stone as a lid for each pot. Cover the tubing in the shallow trenches with soil, leaving a few feet exposed at the end by the house so it can be connected to the washing machine.

Step Four: Connect the Washing Machine*

Locate the flexible drain tube behind the washing machine and remove it from the rigid “standpipe” that drains the wastewater into a sewer or septic system. Connect the flexible drain tube to a 1” three-way valve using a 1” barbed male adapter and a hose clamp . Connect one side of the valve to the sewer standpipe using a 1-inch diameter PVC pipe and fittings, configuring the piping as needed so that the valve is against the wall in an accessible location near the standpipe and at least a couple inches above the height of the washing machine.

Choose the location where the piping will pass through the wall to connect with the tubing outside. Drill a test hole through the wall using a ¼-inch bit to ensure that there are no studs, wiring or piping in the way behind the wall. Then drill a 1½-inch hole through the wall. (Another option is to run the pipe through the floor and outdoors through the exterior wall of a crawlspace of basement).

Run 1-inch diameter PVC pipe from the open end of the valve through the wall, leaving about two to three inches of the pipe protruding on the outside of the wall. Use a 1” pipe strap on either side of the valve to support horizontal pipe and secure it to the wall.

Connect a 1” PVC “T” fitting to the open end of the pipe outside the wall, with the open ends of the fitting oriented vertically. Connect the bottom of the T fitting to the poly tubing on the ground with 1-inch diameter PVC pipe and fittings, as needed. Cover the last bit of poly tubing with soil.

Connect a piece of 1-inch diameter PVC pipe to the top end of the T fitting of sufficient length to rise above the height of the three-way valve indoors. Connect an air admittance valve (also known as an “auto vent”) to the top of the pipe (this device prevents foul-smelling air from circulating back through the washing machine and into the house). Seal the hole where the pipe passes through the will exterior grade caulk, both inside and outside the wall.

*Use Teflon tape on all threaded fittings. Glue unthreaded fittings together with PVC cement.

Operation and Maintenance

The system operates on its own unless you are using multiple irrigation zones. In that case, you’ll need to turn the three-way valve in the valve box outdoors once per week. Simply divide up the total number of loads you run each week into two equal sets. After the first set is completed, turn the valve to irrigate the other zone for the rest of the week.

The mulch in the trenches will slowly decompose and settle. Top it off once per year, and every few years scoop out all of the mulch and replace it (spread the old mulch around your plants). You may also need to periodically expand the diameter of the mulch trenches as the plants grow (especially for trees).

The three-way valve next to the washing machine allows you to divert the greywater into the sewer standpipe, rather than into the irrigation system, during periods of heavy rain or while making repairs. This is also useful if you wish to occasionally use bleach in the washing machine.

These are general guidelines only. For further information, greywater system supplies, troubleshooting advice, and guidance on using this method in a variety of contexts see the San Francisco Graywater Design Manual , Oasis Design , Clean Water Components , and Greywater Action .
