Labor Day is traditionally the first Monday in September, a National Holiday that pays tribute to the American worker. A lot of folks say it’s the last day of Summer, and for school kids it is, but actually there are about 3 more weeks of Summer and I plan to enjoy them. Harbors and marinas around the Lake are clogged with boats of all kinds but soon they will be put away for the season. This was shot in Pultneyville, NY on 9-1-2013.
sidenote: I was thrilled to find a coupon for $1.00 off of Cascade detergent for dishwashers in the newspaper today but, after reading the fine print, was a little puzzled. The coupon excludes purchase of the (I’m not making this up) “travel size”. Does anyone travel with their dishwasher?

Yes. I often find myself taking my dishwasher along, especially on Labor Day since I don’t want to do the work of washing dishes myself! 😀
Not me, I love to wash dishes.
And I have one of those pocket size dishwashers, just incase I come across some tiny dirty dishes.
I love Pultneyville… one of the nicest little spots on the lake.
I should get one for my backpack. I’ll check Amazon.
When we go to the beach, our rental unit has a dishwasher. The rental company provides a starter-sized supply, but if we are going to use the dishwasher a lot we may take along a travel-size box of detergent. We usually just bring some in a resealable container.
When I lived up north, we usually regarded Labor Day as the start of the county fair season. It’s a good holiday, and comes at a good time, since it is a long stretch until Thanksgiving. There are a few banking holidays, for those of us who work for banks, but not all of the banks take those holidays.
That’s a nice take on the marina, as all those masts make for an interesting scene.
Thanks, Tom. I must go to the beach more often! Here in NY, most of the fairs are over by Labor Day, including the State Fair.
My wife used to work for a bank and she had far more days off than I did.
Which wife was that?
I love the parallels in our blog posts today. We could almost join my shot with yours, though mine would need turning around, again.
I travel with my dishwasher. She says she travels with her dishwasher. It seems to work out pretty well, and the dishes do get washed.
Thanks, ehpem. Your photo is fantastic. I would urge everyone to take a look.
In our house, we fight to see how gets to do the dishes since we both love to do them (some folks would insert an “LOL” here I think).
Well, I don’t take my dishwasher, but it’s very comforting to have a travel-sized packet of cascade in my suitcase. 😉
I guess you just never know when you will need that Cascade.
In the UK we’ve had the late August bank holiday. That’s usually the cue for the weather to turn nasty if it hasn’t done that throughout August already. This year summer has been very unusual – we’ve had sun, little rain and warmth. And we still have it. We used to go to rental apartments occasionally, and my wife always decided that meant she went on strike and I became the travelling dishwasher. Money never changed hands, unfortunately.
You never know when that second occupation will come in handy, Andy.
I think I would develop a fatal stoop from carrying the dishwasher on my back, whether male or metal….LOL! PS: Do you go sailing, at all….
No, I don’t go sailing or boating. I’m a true landlubber. Don’t ask why I live near a big (Great) lake.
Okay, I won’t….
