Monday is Site Design and Tuesday is Grading & Drainage.

My poor calculator that I've had since high school has chosen this week to short out. I took it to the shop and it's definitely not the batteries

Sentimental value aside, I guess it was time for a new one!

I'm really trying to be good about not taking two showers in one day. (Even though I live in one of the places where water is still plentiful, it's still a waste of energy, and no I am NOT going to shower in unheated 55°F water.)

But if I take an evening shower, I just can't STAND myself by noon the next day. Yucky and crusty and greazy, ewwwwwww. So if I have an evening ride or gym class, it's either shower in the morning and go to bed sweaty, or shower late and be gross all day the next day. Ugh.

Run through the sprinklers like we did when we were kids? That way your grass is watered and you're rinsed!

I wouldn't go to bed sweaty, I'd take the shower. You could compromise - take a "navy" shower - water on, get wet, water off, suds up, water back on for the rinse cycle.

My dad wanted everyone to shower like that. Military shower. That's what we did in my old life when I had a motorhome, too. Here in Florida the groundwater is so warm you can easily shower in it if you're at all hot.

How about just a rinse off in the evening?

Take really quick showers if you feel icky. They work well and don't use much water.
It's an art.... I can take one in 60-75 seconds- suds and rinse only the strategic parts, everything else gets a nice cool rinse off. Very refreshing!

Make sure you have a water economizer on your showerhead if you are into saving even more water. Have a low-volume flush toilet, or put a sealed jug of water in your toilet tank to cut down on the tank volume. Don't flush every little tinkle. Turn off the water while brushing your teeth.
