UPDATE==When Is The End Of Next Week????

Thursday afternoon Jerry and I go to check on the boat. I expect to find that not much will be accomplished, because since we were there last week it really has rained here. About 3 days worth, this by the way we greatly appreciate because our lawns, ponds, lakes, rivers, etc. need it badly. We can use more. Back to the boat, we arrive at a time there is human activity. Once again, I stay in the pick-up and Jerry gets out. He walks over to the boat. Mr. Boat Fixer Upper Man joins him. They talk for a long time. The entire time Jerry looks very serious, which naturally makes me curious and a little nauseous. They climb up into the boat. I can no longer see either of them.

I sit in the truck watching one of the workers. He is sitting on the ground at the rear of a trailer. He is putting on a rubber looking skullcap type thing that has goggles in it. I think to myself, good. I am glad he is using protection because he picks up some sort of electrical tool. (I wonder if that thing is wearing is hot. I don't think I could wear it. I would smother to death). I can't tell what the tool is but, apparently, from the sound it is a drill of some sort. I watch as he puts the tool to the metal and hear the sound that reminds me I need to make a dental appointment to have my teeth cleaned since I let Jerry have my scheduled time. Can't do that now though, I do not have my calendar with me & I think they are closed at this time of day. Can't call tomorrow because they are not open. Will have to remember to do it Monday. I, also, have a filling in a front tooth that needs replacing. It fell out as I was flossing one day. The original filling repaired a chip caused when a cousin pulled a chair out from under me & my tooth hit the kitchen table many years ago. Weird that it chipped a lower tooth, *shrug*, but it did. I fear the dentist is gonna want to put a crown on the tooth. That seems to be the norm these days. Back to the guy. I have not been thinking about him because I am off in my mind thinking about the dentist, then who knows what else. I now notice he is using the tool but he is no longer wearing the skullcap. Although I know I would not be able to wear that headgear, it bothers me that he isn't. As I am thinking, he at least needs to put some goggles on. They can be bought for a dollar or less. I know this because I bought some a year or so ago. I had to spray bleach water on the dining room ceiling where there was a water stain from when the roof leaked. Not wanting the bleach water to go in my eyes, I wore safety glasses. As I think this, he picks up a pair of safety glasses and puts them on. Yay!!! I am so proud of him.
Finally, Jerry and Mr. Boat Fixer Upper Man climb out of the boat. They stand and talk more. One or the other will pick up something from the ground & look at it then throw it back on the ground. Jerry has a prop in his hand. I am not sure where or when he picks that up. He continues to hold it, as he & Mr. Boat Fixer Upper Man go into the shop. I can see them, but cannot tell what they are looking at. They come out. Jerry comes to the truck; Mr. Boat Fixer Upper Man walks back toward the shop.

Jerry gets in the pick-up & starts the engine, as well as telling me the different things Mr. Boat Fixer Upper Man & he have been discussing. I will not go into the different things that have "now been found" that need fixing. *deep sigh*. Amounts to another $100 here, another $200 there. Nor what they settle on doing, but with those things needing to be done Jerry is told the boat will "make a splash" in the water either this Fri., or Sat. morning. I am wondering how this will be accomplished when it has taken so long complete the other things. I keep my mouth shut. Yes, I know that is amazing but I do.

Friday comes. Friday goes. No phone call. Saturday morning comes. Saturday morning goes. No phone call. Jerry goes out to the boat on his way in to work Saturday afternoon. No one around. He can tell they ran water through because the leg and something else are wet. He wonders what is up. I suggest he try to call Mr. Boat Fixer Upper Man's cell phone. He says he will do that.

At this point I do not know anymore, but I still wonder, when is the end of next week???
