Across the street from our double wide outside Tacoma, was a swamp. Never dried out. Was a large flotilla of ducks that lived there. Great sport for my dog.
I was only there one winter. We were in old WW2 wooden barracks. It rained so long, and so hard, I thought we needed a life raft. Temps dropped, and the thermostats in the building were in a locked box. It got cold in there. I was a Plt. Sgt and had a barracks full of women soldiers. They drove me mad with all the complaining about the cold. One day I went over and took a steel pin with me. I poked it through the control cable about 20 times. At last the heater cam on. I marked the hole with a black sharpie, and gave the pin to my SP/5 who was in charge up there. Told her to pull it out during the work days. Worked like a charm
