Started the day by removing a large piling that would have ruined someone's day and their boat. Patrolled the CBBT and then checked on the other woman.

So happy not having to deal with traffic
Rough day on the bay, but sometime it helps to go out in the washing machine to prepare and train for the real thing. You have to go out, but you don't have to come back.
