Pouring rain this morning. Luckily, we had postponed our Boston trip until Tuesday, because Roy wanted to finish boxing and shipping his tools that he'll need in California. This would not have been a good day for sightseeing, but it was a great day for indoor activities.
The guy from the generator repair place came by to say that the fuel tank was all rusty and the valves were shellacked, or something like that. He said they could fix it, but it wouldn't be covered by the warranty. Roy gave them the go-ahead.
By the way, Roy found out why the boat crashed into the bridge the other night. The power failed as the bridge was opening, so momentum kept the bridge swinging past its normal position. The bridge is 100 years old. They're planning on building a new one sometime in the near future. The old one is having lots of problems. One time today, it stuck half open and half closed. Angry motorists were beeping their horns, and many turned around and headed for the other bridge. It took about half an hour to get the bridge operational again.
