And how is your day going????

[howdy20012002]

Just wanted to throw out there how wonderful of a day I have had so far today.
I bought a boat last year that had a blown motor
I bought a engine to replace the blown motor and had my mechanic rebuild it.
3 weeks ago, I brought it to the lake and it wouldn't idle...Fixed that problem
2 weeks ago, I brought it to the lake and a couple of screws came lose and chewed through the timing chain cover...Fixed that problem
Today, brought the boat to the lake and threw it in.
After going about 2 kms, Black smoke starts to billow out from under the engine cover..
Bammm..Loud noise and engine stops....and wont start.
So now, I had to row back to the dock, 2 kms in the opposite direction from which I just came.
2 and half hours later, I arrive at the dock and load the boat.
On the way home I stop and buy a engine hoist from Princess Auto (0n sale BTW, 199.99) so that I can now rip out the now garbage engine and start again.
So yea, anyone else having a stupedous day?
Not that I am bitter or anything..LOL
BTW, does anyone want to buy a boat???? CHEAP..lol

I'm sunburnt like mad from golfing all day at our company tournament. I can't complain about that at all.

Sometimes it is great owning your own business, sometimes it is over whelming, six companies, seven partners, no time to think, these fish might save my life.

Well ... dunno if this helps or not, but I've learned along the way ... it can *always* be worse. And it's generally best never to ask "how could this ever get any worse??" ... because that's when you'll get an answer to that question.

What kind of boat?

Tony's right, it could be worse.
