Here is a small exerp from my life between the 9&5 and the crap I have to deal with at this time of the year.......I've been waiting for about 3 months to receive this hard to find part on a boat in the yard under repair. So i get the part and tell the quasi mecanic that works for me to install it on the motor....and so he does and a few hours later, he calls me into the store to tell me the engine on the boat is fixed and ready for a test. I would have to test this particular boat on the water but before ill start it and check it in the yard to make sure it actually starts. but right before starting it, i realize there is absolutely no gas left in the boat. Its now close to closing time, so i tell the mecanic to hook the boat to the back of the truck so i can take it to the nearby gas station to put a couple of bucks of gas in it for testing. I run back inside the store while he hooks up the boat to check up on the staff in there ad see if everything is alright. The mechanic calls me back outside to tell me its ready to go. I get back in the truck and tell him to wait for me and that I should be back in a few minutes. I also ask him if everything is all hooked up right and the boat is safe even though im only going about 1500 feet to the gas station. I take of as he confirms me that its ok. about 1000 feet further, i stop at a stop sign......as i take off i hear a real loud screeching sound, and the time it took me to turn my head around to see what just happen was enough for the boat to rip off the trailer and slid all down the road!! i freaked out and got out of the truck and checked out the damage. the boat was major scorched and the trailer brackets broke off. i ran back by foot to the store to grab some guys at the shop to help me, sent a kid over right away to check on the boat. my mechanic, who had decided that he wasnt waiting for as i had asked, was already in the parking lot leaving, so i pulled him back and told him to get HIS ASS on the forklift truck and drive over there to help me get the boat back on the trailer. i quickly ran inside to get some straps and ran back befoe i'd get the cops and shit involved. by the time i made it back there, i had the kid i had sent was trying to direct traffic, and doing a real shit job at it, the mechanic was trying to lift the boat with the fork and scratching the fucking boat even more, and a parade of people all over the side of the road. i strapped the boat and started cranking on the winch like crazy just to get the fuck outta there and in the process gashed the shit out of the boat cause the brackets on the boat were ripped off. drove the boat slowly back to the store.....now a have a 5000$ repair job on the boat to do on monday..........
