All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray

So at the lake, pausing in today's closing-down-for-the-winter chores to say that thanks to brother Tim, I now know of a way that I could keep this place open all winter without having to keep the water pipes charged, and therefor the heat on to keep them liquid. All I need is a waterless composting toilet. Showers are optional at the lake in winter; drinking, cooking and fork-and-cooking-pot-cleaning water can be toted here in bottles, as can paper plates. All I need is $1,300 or $1,400. All contributions gratefully accepted.
