Well there wasn't much to it. Throw a trash bag in the bucket, toss the old toilet seat on top and crap.
Stick a trash can outside like an adult diaper genie. I assumed my crap would be considered a type of biohazard that needed to be buried or otherwise disposed of properly, but it turns out that it's perfectly legal to toss your own ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- in with the regular garbage pickup. I threw some kitty litter in with it hoping not to be called out.

Turns out that I don't have to crap as often as I thought.
If the option isn't there, I just don't go.
(or it could just be that I was careful about what I ate)
IIRC, I ended up with 5 bags of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Mostly from mornings where I had to go immediately and was too lazy to throw on clothes and drive a few miles.

So, a friend of a friend has a storage shed full of old arcade machines, all of which are in various states of disrepair. They've been sitting for a number of years. When word started floating around in my circle that I diddle with arcade machines, my friend connected the two of us. Here's where it gets interesting...

I looked at the shed of games. They are all dry, no rot that I can see. The machines haven't been overly abused outside of normal wear and tear. I think I'll have a pretty decent shot at getting them working unless there is something catastrophic wrong. There are TWO Joust machines. The guy is giving one of the Joust machines to me as payment for working on the rest of the machines. Considering Joust is one of my wife's favorite games and one I love as well, this is perfect.

So, yeah, I'm getting a dedicated Joust! I'm actually going to have the beginning of a real game room.

So far:
Asteroids Deluxe Cabaret (dedicated)
Joust Upright (dedicated)
Multi-game ghetto pedestal (Pandoras Box 3 shoved into an old Xarcade sitting on an end table hooked up to a TV)
Pirates of the Caribbean pinball (3/4 size)

Woohoo!

yotsuya:
Nice. What sort of repairs are you going to have to do?

Don't know entirely yet. Picking up the first machine on Monday. I've already told him that I will not be doing cosmetic repairs, so no artwork, CPO, etc. I also explained that I ill only be providing labor, he'll be paying for any parts. I'm not worried about being stiffed on this though, I've been friends with the guys mom for about 15 years.
