    Default Boatyard photos

    taken while out doing the job-hunt foxtrot (Kee-rist it's getting wearisome )









    and finally, EPA approved chemical container storage....

    If those shots were from any other state, it would be a museum.

    Interesting schooner. Is it Canadian?

    I'm guessing MSDS book is just out of the shot.

    Ya know, if those are emptied as much as practical, they are probably "RCRA Empty" and can be tossed in the dumpster.

    What constitutes RCRA empty? According to 40 CFR 261.7(b)(1), a container or inner liner removed from a container that held a non-acute* hazardous waste is empty if
    1. All wastes have been removed that can be removed using 'commonly employed practices' from that type of container AND
    2. No more than 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) of residue remains on the bottom of the container or liner OR
    3. No more than 3 percent by weight of the total capacity of the container remains if the container is less than or equal to 110 gallons* in size OR
    4. No more than 0.3 percent by weight of the total capacity of the container remains if the container is greater than 110 gallons* in size

    Commonly employed practices include pouring, pumping and aspirating and must be appropriate for the specific type of container you are emptying. For example, if the act of pouring from an upside-down 55-gallon drum removes more hazardous waste than only hand pumping it, then the drum should be inverted and drained.
    * Those are not "Acute" hazwaste cans. An example of "acute hazwaste" is nitroglycerin (often medical grade) and other drugs.

    Take that bit of info to the next job interview. Hazwaste knowledge is a very handy job getter. As long as the employer doesn't get the idea your gonna put him out of business.

    I think an old necklace chain will do nicely .

    But boatyard trucks. Not a thing to be sneezed at around here.




    It reminds me of this boat:

    Yeah, I like that truck. I learned how to drive in a Willys (sic) army jeep. That rascal would do all of 35 mph on the road and was loud as heck, but it would pull stumps all day long (that's what we did with it and that's how I learned how to drive) and not bat an eye.

    I hope your search for work is successful soon, Dave. Boatyards down here aren't doing too well either.

    She was worth the second look.
    Stay positive.

    Couple relics from a yard on the Lower Columbia. I think these are ex-military, of unknown provenance.
