Day 2: Electric Bugaloo

At almost 10 pm in Walmart, I asked an employee where I could find a French press and he brought me to a bench press. We did not buy the bench press, but we did buy so much chick peas that Piers got laughed at, enough tarp to enclose ourselves in a 8 foot tarp-cube if it rains, enough Clif bars to get two free water bottles at Target, and many buckets.

We saw the boat formerly known as "Cat-Sass" in person for the first time today, and lovingly ripped out part of hir rotting carpet to keep in a brooch during the time we court hir. We also took measurements for the tarp enclosure and general inspection; we definitely got what we paid for. Bennett and Nick drove to Chi-city and picked up our outboard motor, and we all met to eat lunch at Oakland Gyros, a Milwaukee classic. Most of the rest of the day was spent at Home Depot and Walmart buying supplies. Piers and Nick dropped off the rental car and on the way stopped at West Marine to return a few supplies, and were once again aided by the very kind Brandon; thanks a lot Brandon!
