The Day of Broken Junk

Today I went down to the boathouse to help clean and store buoys.

The plan was to power-wash them, which I am told is extremely fun.
They were pretty gross.....





There are 2 power washers at the boathouse and they are both broken.
PRO-TIP: Duct tape does not fix a broken power washer.



Both power washers are broken.
The toaster oven is broken.
The dryer is almost broken.
The hose nozzle is broken (again).

Everything is broken at the boathouse and it is filled with unnecessary junk, which was the main subject of much griping and complaining yesterday. (Junk includes but is not limited to a broken fridge, a computer monitor circa 2003, a broken disemboweled computer probably also from that era, a metal bed frame, and there are rumors of a chandelier in there as well, which are probably true.)

The boathouse is like one of those scenes from those hidden object games people play.

Apparently efforts to get the city to collect this junk have been denied because it is not a residential location. Which means paying for junk removal. Which is difficult for a program that is run solely on grants and donations.




Ah well.
We rinsed and hand-scraped and bleached the buoys and put them away.
I did not take a picture of the clean buoys.

Reign helped.





The sky was gorgeous.
