Sunday Milltown Pressure Wash

Milltown cleanup: Today was supposed to be an an early wake up call. My early rise was meant power wash the the grease and grime off the kitchen area outdoor drains, walls, and wash down the outdoor storage shed and beer coolers at our bar and restaurant in Carrboro NC, Milltown. I got up late. Kim and Josh did get to the bar early and and stained the outdoor patio picnic tables. We just received two new medium sized picnic table to accompany the two already out on the patio. They also rearranged the aluminum four top tables and chairs to make room for these two new larger tables that hold up to 12 people per table. I did make it to the bar an hour later at 10AM. It was very hot today so it made for a very sweaty pressure. I had head out to Lowes to get things started as the pressure washer valve sprung a leak and needed a replacement. While at Lowes I picked up some outdoor plants for the three large flower box benches. Kim will plant them in tomorrow. Anyway, all was cleaned up thanks to the heavy duty grease removal detergent. I blasted the crud off the walls for about and hour and one half.

Milltown new games: Kim picked up Brint and Finn and went shopping for board games Toys R Us while I powerwashed. Our Milltown customers like to play the board games while enjoying the bar and restaurant. They brought them back to Milltown and unwrapped them and stacked them in the front room shelves. New games I saw come in. Uno, Shoots and Ladders, Cribbage, 20 Questions, 80's Trivia Pursuit, Touble, Etch A Sketch, and a couple decks of cards.

We played one of the games after the cleaning session. We sat at one of the front tables and played Trouble. I think everyone at my age remembers Trouble from the Pop O Matic and the plastic board. What I did not remember is that it is nearly impossible to complete this game with four players. You are destined to get bonked back to "home" and never end the game. I also was surprise at how loud the Pop O Matic is. The Pop O Matic is the plastic bubble that is situated in the middle of the board and you press it to bounce the die inside the bubble. We played for a long time but eventually had to call it quits as we would have been days for a winner to get his pieces into the finish line.
