I knew it was going too smoothly

 

small part with a big job!

Our new skimmer was doing a great job from all reports. The lake was looking wonderful. Of course here comes Murpy's Law. A shear pin is broken so the machine can not be used until it is replaced and it is a job to do so. The guys are working on it but it may take some time just when the coves are starting to again fill with floating mats. Maintenance will be spraying to knock it down the best they can but it may be an ugly weekend with the heat and as of now little wind. A perfect combination for a bloom. Rest assured the guys are on it and doing their best and that is all we can ask.
 A shear pin, for those not knowing, is a pin that will break off before damage is done to a crankshaft or major component if something jams the mechanism. Boat motors have these so if you run into a rock or aground you will not ruin the motor.
