Hey Ryan,

I'm waiting  for someone to convert a "honeywagen" . Smaller remote
communities in Alaska had them. They were used to deliver water and pick
up the honey buckets at homes that had no running water or sewer!!! They
were notorious in Bethel, Alaska where I used to live back in the '60's
and early '70's Each home had two garbage cans on the front porch. One
for water to be delivered into. The other into which the honeybuckets
from in-the-house bathroom were dumped. The trucks delivered. The trucks
picked up!

Ah, for  the good old days back in the bush.
