Not My Cats & Major Repairs

I'm cat-sitting for Sharon until the 9th.

Here are her bonkers cats, Harry and Nala:

I signed up as keyholder for the boat repair shift today.

Even though I had no idea what to actually do....

Well, I learned what to do and we got the three Prowlers that live on the dock back in good condition.

They prob haven't been repaired since 2018 (that's what someone said) and they were looking awful.

We replaced all the deck lines and bungees.

They also need a power wash but the water outside isn't on yet.

But they look great and are now properly functional, and don't look like sad neglected abused creatures.

We also removed the metal tetanus plate on the back of Hector's boat.

Mark showed up and we made sure to showcase our many OSHA violations.

(He is an OSHA inspector for the city.)

We got to play with fun things, including the propane torch, the drill, and the hot knife.

Ethan & The Propane Torch

Jackie & The Hot Knife

There is a LOT of work to do before the season opens, which is May 23.

We still have other boats to repair, including all the Drifters used in the public program.  Mostly they just need new bungees and deck lines.

I will power wash the dock later this month, when the water comes on and we probably won't get freezing temps anymore. It's gross down there and has to be done before we put the boats out.

I'm glad April is moving along at a good pace.
