Oh, Laura, what a disappointment. I'm so sorry!
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Our wings are not tired.
Ok, in some sort of minor miracle the couple is still interested in the boat. The A/C failed, the generator failed, and the port engine failed, but they are still interested if it can be fixed quickly. Like maybe the electrical got loose with pulling it out and back into the water on the fork lift or something. The couple flew down with the intention of taking the thing up the intracoastal and navigating all the way to Rhode Island! DH is on his way to the marina to see if he and the mechanic can get it right, quickly. Oh please, please, please.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah Laura! I was thinking that it might be more fixable that now appears. Let's hope.

Laura, keeping all my fingers crossed for you. Come on RIers, give my home state a good name.
First world problem: At the last minute I decided to go to my cousin's wedding. It's in less than two weeks, and I have nothing to wear!

The generator and A/C were easy fix, they believe the engine is ok too, they are on their way out again.
The retired couple ended up being an old dude with a very young and bitchy wife. I mean she barely said hello when introduced and I thought she was pouty miserable, then the broker, the mechanic, the mechanic's wife, and my husband all commented on what a bitch she was. Complaining about every little thing. Um, the boat is 7 years old lady. You are paying less than a third of the new price tag. No, we are not taking any more off.
I appreciate the crossed appendages. Oh please do not fail me now boat! They made the offer and paid the deposit originally from RI and had a well paid surveyor do the inspection before they flew down. My fervent wish is that this is the 10th boat they have looked at and Dude really wants to have it back to RI for the summer.

Ugh. Late night/early morning puke sessions. Never eating at that restaurant again.
