Up the river, up the mast, without a paddle

So I called the engine repair shop 4 times on Thursday April 9th and did not get an answer.

Finally Friday Hoss answered the phone.  Yes, yes - I will have it ready by noon. 

I set up a handoff with Freddy so that I could work the afternoon and he and Curley could bring the boat up the river.


I got to the repair shop early.  Everyone was busy and about 30 mins later the said my engine was fixed and they were going to bring it out.

My engine was sitting in the office - never been touched - they had repaired someone else's Tohatsu.

I called Freddy and he said - 'No Problem - I will use my 4 horse Mercury'.

I went back to work and picked up the Tohatsu around 2:30 and got to the dock at 4:00.  Denny was there Freddy's engine was still on, the mast was stepped, all was well.

I gave Denny a ride back to the shipyard where it had been splashed and we went home.
