A Learning Experience
This month, I’m learning how to replace a broken boat window.
Yeah.
Um.
Yeah.
I’m a little embarrassed. Every time I start feeling like I know what I’m doing, I stop paying attention for 30 seconds and get the smackdown. The good news is that no one was injured and the other boat seems fine. Turns out, my new slip is quite a bit harder to dock in then the old one was. This one is upwind, the boat next to mine is larger and sticks out into the fairway. No excuse, pride goeth and all that.
Anyway, last weekend practiced docking so I’m feeling more comfortable with it and then, with the help of a new neighbor, took out the window and brought it home. There’s one damn screw that is stripped and won’t come out. I tried drilling it out and failed. Then, my downstairs neighbor heard all the racket and came up to see. He volunteered to take it to Cole Valley Hardware the next day and see if they could get it out. Apparently, the first guy who tried couldn’t, the second guy who tried couldn’t, so then they just cut it out! I’m so damn happy its apart now!
As a friend said, “Outsourcing can actually be more efficient.”
So next time I have a boat problem, I’ll send it to India.
Is this gonna Kill You? No i Dont Think so !
