Tuesday - July 29

Bob: Another trip to town today to get an estimate for the support rods for the boat cover.
Once the Yamaha dealer found out I had a boat cover and only wanted support rods to hold it up he wasn't interested in helping me anymore so I just left. Another great commercial example of "We want to sell; no time to service!! Need money to pay off purchase loan."
There is another dealer in Elk Lake I can ask, but don't have much hope of them being able to help out.
Put the boat in the water and then began to pull the trailer out of the water. The bow rope caught on the trailer and I drug the boat almost completely out of the water before I heard the scraping noise and stopped. Took 3 of us to lift the stern and drag the boat into the water. Almost tore off the transducer for the fish finder. Felt like the keystone cops!! But its in the water and all is well. Another lesson learned. Seems we are learning so much this summer.
And by the way, the low tonight is expected to be 49 and it is not supposed to get into the 70s until Saturday. An air conditioner salesman would starve to death up here. Hope everyone south of the border is enjoying the heat down there!

Bonnie:  What a long day.  Bob looked into the support rods but decided against getting them until later. The next stop was the church where he met a man from the Branch to do some fishing.  There is a beautiful, big lake right in front of the church. I stayed at the church and did some important calls for my health insurance and practiced the piano for Primary. (It's the only place we have access to a telephone.  It was to an 800 number.) Then it was to our friend's house, Lorraine and Larry Wiwchar's who had invited us to lunch. Then, the husbands decided to go fishing that afternoon.  I  had a great time talking to Lorraine.  By the time they got back, it was close to 6, so we left for home.  After a few errands we made it home about 8:30.  Of course, we had to put the boat back in the water, and that took some maneuvering! Maybe Bob will tell about that. I'm ready for an early bedtime!
