I picked up the new boat this morning, much to my excitement. Put the new anchors on and got all the gear in (after a quick trip to the local tackle shop for some new tackle boxes .... can't have a messy new boat!). I was just getting ready to drive to the boat ramp when ................. what do you know ............. the phone rings. Some visitors just passing through in their new motorhome want to stop in and say hi!! I have to say i thought very seriously about telling them that we were out on a job, but that darn concience of mine .... "sure pop in" i said .... "we'd love to see you" ...... after all, they would be keen to keep moving ... WOULDN"T THEY!! 4hrs later (and one exsasperated sigh), I started to see the sun going down, just as my visitors were saying goodbye, I could feel the disappointment course through me, but alas. "Keep that smile on your face" I thought to myself. There's always tommorow ........... so as the phone rings again and a job comes in ..... i resign myself to the knowledge that I have my new boat and ONE DAY i WILL get it on the water.
