Good news/ Bad news

Good news and bad news. I just got an email from Scanmar saying a brand new Monitor wind vane, custom made to my boat, has been picked up at their factory by UPS and is on its way to me.

The bad news is ... how in the world am I going to pay for this when it comes up on my credit card?...

Hmmm....three or four days to get the windvane installed, a day for provisioning, 2 weeks to plan the bank robbery, another 2 days for...Wait, never mind. :-)

So I guess your not going to buy that shifter linkage "just because," huh? hehe

On the other hand, if you buy it from me for 75, I'm sure that you can sell it on ebay for like 400, based on your past luck!

Bah! Insignificant details.

Just make sure you're finished with your restoration and in the water before the creditors come calling...

Those were the exact thoughts that ran through my mind when I realized what I had done :-0

I am already crafting an Ebay advertisement. I figure if I can sell it for more than $75 this week then I will have time to buy it from you and ship it to my Ebay customer!

And you call yourself benevolent? Evil, pure evil. No wonder my life is falling apart :-)

I have already updated the restoration schedule. I might be re-installing my plywood interior mockup for the upcoming cruise.
