With a March storm an a high tide the OYC clubhouse looks like an island. There was no significant damage but a lot of washed away pea gravel and a lot of rack and debris in the parking lot and elsewhere that had to be cleaned up.

This is the storm that took away Liams Clam Shack from Nauset Beach. A backhoe was demolishing what was left of it including some abandonned septic tanks. There was a lot of washover on the southern spit. A very large snowy owl was spotted.

0820-erin-weeds
Erin and Mike let the weeds take over their garden. Tara and I came over to bring things back under control.

0821-erin-weeds
Part of the solution to the weed problem in Erin and Mike's garden was to dig holes for the weeds and bury them. Most of the holes were about 18 inches deep with 6-12 inches of soil over the top after the weeds were buried. Tarps and mulch were put over the soil to keep weeds from coming back by next spring.

0905-bad-car-wash
After taking my car to the car wash it came out dirty. I made them run it through again. It was still dirty except for the places that they had bothered to use the mops. Lazy kids working there.
