Default And how is your day going????

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
