Rained Out

Got more of the deck done today. I quit at around three quarters mark. I still have that one corner, the seat area, the railing, the three steps to the yard and the whole outside of the railings. I had to stop because it started to rain. Now you are asking yourself why would a little rain make me stop. I mean, I’m already pretty much soaked from the over spray, plus I’m getting wet from above because I’m washing off the soffits and gutters while I’m at it. Just feels foolish standing out in the rain I guess.

Last night, the used once two years ago pressure washer seemed to be acting funny, it wouldn’t come up to full pressure at first. It would start and when I squeezed the trigger it would come up to about half power. After holding the trigger in about 30 seconds to a minute then it would kick in. A couple times it wouldn’t ever jump up to full pressure. Turning it off and on wouldn’t help. Then one time I squeezed the trigger and then hit the power, it came right up to full speed. Tried that same procedure the next time and it worked again. So now I have been doing that each time I start/restart after a break. I wonder if that is the proper procedure. Maybe if I had read the directions I’d know.

EDIT:

I forgot we went out to breakfast. Blueberry muffin for her and a coconut pineapple cream muffin for me and we split a bottled water.
