I said sure, when do you want to do it? He said "Oh, anytime is OK." I said good how about this Thursday when it is supposed to be 70 degrees here. They are calling for snow here today incidentally.

He says "Oh no, I want to get it out today and get it in to be fixed."

I told him that no, I was not going to be out wrestling around some wet pontoon boat in the snow. See ya later I said.

And that was that.

He looked dumbfounded as I walked away.

3. oh ok, it sounded as though you said they were just calling for it
and it hadn't started yet. I'd be hesitant to go out too if it were already raining and snowing.

4. OMFG - He, a Republican, wants a BAILOUT!
Just get some orange spray paint and write LOL on the side of his boat.
