Default Are you kidding, nope!!

Just posted this, its been 2 weeks! Insanely mad, walked home as I left the boat tied to a tree. If anyone would of crossed me at that point in time I don't know what would of happened, serious insanity, major violence . I'm back in my head now, half a bottle of Scotch flows through my veins. What truly made me chill after my petty party was/is wifey battling the "C" word and my siss'es ex has a inoperable brain tumor , just found out yesterday. I am done for the season, no more foolish $$$ to spend. Here is my post, sorry for the rant. Help! Was boating today, fast boat, 3rd time out trying to find the right set up. Last week I lost a blade on my twin outboard 24' Skater. Just got another one, like new. Left Sarnia, fast cruse, slowed down in front of my neighborhood area( 2000 meters before cow creek(think its called that) Jetty past Skeeters. Anyways came off plain, smiles I had. Phoned wifey and told her, finally boat works good. Fired up engine, nothing on port side. Raised engine, no prop????? If anyone can find this prop, I'll pay for time and expense. I am at my wits end. Stainless so I can't even use a magnet. Anyone?? My name is Andy, I have a shop Air and and Sea 344-1275 Will pay cash, trade for work. Thanx for your time. Small potatoes compared to them..........................

Words can't express enough when facing life changing events. We recently went through one. Stay positive even when you don't think you can. It not only helps you, but your loved ones both mentally and physically. My thoughts and prayers.

A huge thank you but going to pass. I'd probably loose the lefty. Have serious luck issues this past few weeks but won't last forever. This is what we need more in this world. The guy doesn't even know me, different country but is willing to help out. Thanx Bro. You have good Karma looking your way. Had a tough day today but wifey smiled when I told her your good will gesture. Today is Canada day(really is) you are an official Canuck as well as a very cool Yank. Happy 4th in a few days. Andy and Cheryl. Lol, this time it stands for Lots of love...
