I know, I know: Brilliant. I don't mind telling you that I was so pleased with myself that I hardly minded the rain, which started beating on our tin (aluminum?) roof sometime late Saturday night and never really stopped.

Tin Roof! Rusted.
What do you do when you find yourself camping at Lake Erie, and you've forgotten to pack a pot in which to boil water? Fear not! Take your trusty Swiss Army knife and cut off the tops of two aluminum cans. Place the cans on the toast rack, and use the SA knife's pliers as pot holders. If, like me, you're using the boiling water to make pasta, you can even use the discarded tops of the cans as a strainer!
I know, I know: Brilliant. I don't mind telling you that I was so pleased with myself that I hardly minded the rain, which started beating on our tin (aluminum?) roof sometime late Saturday night and never really stopped.

YOU? are AMAZING. - BB
Except for the part where you -- freely, from all indications -- went camping; this speaks very well of you.

Amazing might be pushing it a bit, but who am I to turn down kudos of any kind?
And Joke: I *like* camping! What's not to like about activities that allow for flannel, wool, fire, making eggs and toast outside, and throwing all but the very most basic grooming out the window?
All I need to do is come up with a more comfortable chair, and I could happily camp every weekend.
Very clever!

Everything?
