                  | today we set a
                      course for adventure,
 our mind on a free dinghy off trashnothing.
 it was worth the trip to seabeck;
                    they even threw
 in the oars--literally.
                    but little did we suspect it was also
 community wide garage sale day, so we did the
                    circuit, filling
 the boat with booty
                    from 10 different homes: simpson ties,
                    storage
 bins, diner china (to match my grandmother's), an
                    insulated safety vest,
 checker cab Vans, LED trim lights for our cans,
                    pitchforks, sawhorses, bench
 vise, folding camping cot, football, wet tile saw
                    with stand, sundry bags, a box of
 3" ornamental wood numbers (unopened), garbage can,
                    shelf brackets, and, yes, even the
 kitchen sink (free). at our last stop, the guy
                    couldn't believe we got a livingston dinghy for
                    free.
 when i told him it needed a patch, he gave me a near
                    full can of fiberglass resin. it felt like  destiny.
