This is my post for #freewriters Thursday prompt makeup hosted by @mariannewest

I did not fish today, I was still in a pissy mood from yesterday and did not want to go. I found the leak in my boat, the plug is worn out. I do not understand how it leaks. I even put a baggie around the plug and it still leaked. It tightens down good and tight. It is a true conundrum. It could be something the company puts in it so you will only have so many times to put the plug in, then it will not work anymore so you go buy another one.

As I walked back to the front door, one of the dogs had dug a big hole. I yelled who did this, and they scrambled.

I keep these pieces of weed mat here because this is where they want to dig, but It gets pulled back and this is when they can dig.

This one looks guilty

Or is this one guilty, she came down the steps with her head held low and tail between her legs, as to say Mom, let's makeup.

This one looks guilty for sure!

Manufacturers nowadays make their products obsolete, so that's probably why the plug on your boat is. A good solution is to seal it with natural resin, or if you want something more permanent, use paste fiberglass.

I learned two new curious words with you : "conundrum" (what kind of witchcraft is this? XDD, it sounds like a word from an old spell) and "baggie" (sounds like a pretzel, donut or something like that hahaha).

Interesting reading you, as you can see, I'm already taking more time to spend more often on your great profile.

I really enjoy reading your life.

My husband found where it is leaking, it is not the plug but the copper sleeve that the plug fits into is loose. My boat was built in the 1970s so I think the glue is old, I will reglue it with a sealant called Marine Tex, it is made for being underwater. Thank you for reading my life stories.

I have caught both dogs digging but when I was scolding them, this one ran to the front door, and the other one ran under the front steps. So I can not say for sure which one did it.

Any time you have parts interacting, one will wear faster. Better the plug than the boat itself!

My husband found the problem, it is not the plug. Boats have a copper sleeve that fits in the hole for the plug, it is glued and hammered in when the boat was built, my boat was built in the 1970s and the glue is no longer any good so it is loose and leaking around the sleeve. I am going to put Marine Tex around it and then rehammer it, I think this will work. It is a good thing that the wind is going to blow through Tuesday so it will have time to dry.

5 decades is plenty of time for adhesives to deteriorate!

The shamefaced dog lol 😆
We have a dog who melts when yelled at and one who looks at you like her head has bricks in it.

They know when we are upset with them. I went outside this morning to see another hole, it is impossible.

I had a beloved Husky that dug holes in my flower garden. I gave up on the garden while she lived. We now have the sister dogs. They aren't quite so bad. You can't leave them unsupervised because they won't stay close to home.
