The locks toward Haigh Hall are deep. Their massive gates weigh more than a tonne each. A number of the gates have chains and pulleys to help boaters open and close them.
To share the work, I asked another boat to pair up.
Quite a few of the #locks are covered in a lush, living carpet of #vegetation (see photo).
LOL I am now registered with the EPA as a hazardous waste generator (due to my 1979 kitchen linoleum now entombed at a secured location in Arizona) #hazmat#kitchen
Men in hazmat suits have left... and they should have followed all the proper procedures... but going to run the Corsi Rosenthal box anyway, LOL. #hazmat#remodeling
My kitchen is a hazmat zone
It's true, you know -- but I'm not alone
Lead, asbestos, lots of nasty stuff
We never learned, it's very tough
Think it's the sixties, seventies, yesterday?
Alas, we continue on the same path today
Your fancy polished countertop is next on the list
Of things we should have skipped, but missed

Been distracted this past week. By what? Husband’s visit from business travel ended. And the very evening we dropped him at the airport my son’s gifted Kindle experienced #LiIon battery #outgassing. Smoke and soot abound!
I had a crash course in #PoisonControl, smoke abatement, and #hazmat testing. And restocking clothes and linens.
No one was injured. By some miracle nothing ignited.
There are a surprising number of easily obtained household cleaning products that will emit deadly HCN gases if you inadvertently mix them. #Hazwoper #Hazmat

Tuesday was exciting. Worked a health expo at work for our ND employee group. Dropped husband off at airport. Son decided to inspect the inside of a Lithium Ion battery.
Yes, it outgassed and filled his room with smoke. Alarms. #Hazmat testing and cleanup. It’s been… exciting. 🤣
Hazmat evacuation in San Pablo today could last up to 24 hours.
Clean-up at the home of an ex-chemist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, called 911 when they discovered numerous chemicals stored haphazardly in a shed.
Bomb squad took one look and ordered evac for 6 blocks. They will transport the chemicals out of the residential area and safely dispose of them. #BayArea#EastBay#hazmat
LAFD: "Chemical Investigation; INC#1411; 05:54PM; 2800 S Sepulveda Bl; MAP: https://bit.ly/41XrHN9; #RanchoPark; LAFD responded to an "oil-like" substance continuously seeping from the ground. Firefighters have called for a vacuum truck and sand to mitigate the environmental effect. Several agencies have been notified (Clean Harbors, Street Services, Watershed, and possible responsible parties for the substance)." #hazmat#oil
