Cape Cod and the Wild Snake Episode

The cape is a great place and we were glad we got to really see it over two weeks in the off season as there is ample evidence of the crowds during the summer. The traffic infrastructure is pretty old so there are backups even in the off season. Beautiful views on both sides and beautiful homes in the ocean view areas. Love the marshes that provide transition between the ocean and the land. Lots of cranberry bogs but couldn’t find one in harvest with the berries floating on top. Will have to look sometime over near Ocean Shores, WA where Ocean Spray has big area of bogs. Had fun visiting and touristing with Judy and Es for a couple days toward the end of our stay. We had also spent a day with the Vermie’s at the beginning of the stay over on Nantucket Island. It wouldn’t be a memorable visit though without the big toilet rinsing caper on the next to the last day of our stay. Suzy had showered and was air drying her hair in her underwear when I was servicing the sewer system. Every so often(once a month) I put a hose down the toilet and flush the system extra clean from the inside. I had brought the hose in and had the wand in the toilet and went outside to turn on the water. When I came back in, Suzy was screaming and water was squirting everywhere, as the wand had malfunctioned and was spraying water everywhere. I grabbed the writhing snake of a hose and tried to choke off the water telling Suzy to go outside and turn it off. She immediately flashed outside, around the trailer, turning it off and flashed back inside with only bra and thong accompanying her. I was wiping up the water when she arrived back in the trailer and she grabbed a towel and helped mop up the water. She said she couldn’t believe it didn’t bother her at the time. None of the neighbors complained either. So we got it all back together and good as new. Threw that leaky wand away too.
