Mr. Woods? Yes. This is Lee over here at Lee's Upholstery. Ok? Anyway you can bring your boat over today instead of next year because i ordered a bunch of carpet for a guy that is the same color and type you wanted but he stiffed me and now I am stuck with it. Hmmm. I thought for a minute. Lee, you can't go ahead and put that new carpet down because the old has to be taken up and then then Genesis has to sand and reglaze the glass before the new carpet can be put down. Well, he says, mind calling Genesis and seeing if you can get it in there soon? Geez Lee, gonna cut some money off the price of the carpet? I will take $175.00 off if we can get this done. Hmmm. $430.00 minus $175.00. Hmmm. Hell yeah, I'm in. Called Genesis, they said have that thing over here next Tuesday and we will have it done by thursday. So, i call Lee back, tell him. He says bring it on over and i will start tearing the old carpet and seats out of it. So after three hours sleep in the last 42 hours, i go to McMinnville, move two tractors(John Deere of course), a hay wagon, a pto driven generator, knock a few cats out of the way, take the cover off, hook the boat up and bring it back down here to Lee. Christmas is coming early at my house. Told my wife i can't put that nice shiny boat back in the barn and i needed a cover at the back of the driveway for it. She went :rolleyes: :rolleyes: . Now guess i need a good metal canopy for it. If i were to add up all the money this year alone spent on anything even remotely connected to fishing, i would probably cry like a baby. Sorry, didn't mean to give Moose a run on the length.
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
