Despite my worthless feelings yesterday I was able to eke out enough something to pressure wash the porch and wash both vehicles.

The porch took about twice as long to do as it should have. The big bright sun filtering down through the leaves created many a dark little shadow that looked exactly like a must remove spot. Those turned out to be uncleanable with the pressure washer and believe me, I spent a long time on several of them before I realized that. After too much time it came to me that if I thought a leaf shadow was a spot to be cleaned just the reverse might work and save me a little labor. Stupid me thought what spots I might miss by hurrying along could possibly be misconstrued by Dory as only a leaf shadow and still get me a pass. I'm sorry to say I missed a few. Any idiot should have realized that the time of day we usually sit out there the sun is on the other side of the house.

I had already put the washer up when this was discovered and tho washing the vehicles hadn't part of my plan for the day I felt the need to add the task in an effort to temper Dory's feelings about the not quite sufficient porch wash. I don't know how much of an effect it really had but I was fed some of the best spaghetti for supper than I've had in a long time.
