A belated howdy, Jim. Sorry finances are tight for you too, boo. I’m hopeful to get to PS for a day or three getaway soon. I like close enough, but it can still be costly…that’s for sure. Alas. On the plumbing front, the galavanized steel pipes in my rental were all waste water. The house was built in the 1950s and seems that was standard for under the the house and the underground piping is mostly clay…crazy, huh? My landlord is being great and tackling things now that she’s aware there’s a problem. I’m 90% back in working order. Only my laundry is affected. Wishing your fortunes to turn back around and keep me posted when you might make it to PS again. Will do my best to coordinate a lunch with you. Cheers!

Galvanized steel pipe for waste, can't say I've ever seen that before. In my younger years that would be ductile cast iron then later ABS black plastic. With my new company, my first vacation which is only one week and not my normal six, comes up the second week of August. Next year it'll be 2-weeks. Ninety percent of the time while in PS, I stay at Desert Paradise, but have stayed at Canyon Club once, and the last time at the former Inn Exile which All Worlds bought and moved their entire operations to, then built that amazing indoor and an outdoor maze. I love mazes with lots of secret hiding places, lol. The former All Worlds location is now a mixed-sex swingers resort. Around eight years ago, I had intentions of moving to the Warm Sands area to a rental unit, but didn't think I'd find proper employment to afford the high cost of living there so I didn't move there, but ended up moving from Indianapolis to the Whispering Oaks gay RV campground resort 68-miles southwest of Nashville TN in Nov 2022. It's mostly quiet here during the cold season, but come warmer weather this place is robust with lots of activity and anywhere from 100-300 guys from around the country here on event weekends. It reminds me of a huge outdoor bathhouse. This campground also has ties to the Starland gay campground resort on CA-62 in Joshua Tree by the CMEN group out of West Hollywood. Needless to say, I'm very happy with my decision and love living within a community that is all our own.
