crunch time.

Appointments to show the boat throughout the day. Originally I was supposed to work till 4 pm.. but Cathryn needs to train someone so I got pushed back to later. And.... I had already scheduled people to look at the boat.

Cathryn's going to be kinda taxed with the scheduling stuff... as I have things kinda planned out from here on... and while I hate feeling guilty... well... I do. But I gotta take care of myself.

Phone tag with the guy in NC... and maybe he's still thinking about taking the Smelly Cat?  A desperate plea on craigslist.. and a call to my  boat broker buddy all happened yesterday. It's coming down to the wire folks... 3 people coming to take a look today... hopefully more. Now I have until about 1:30 to let people come see the glory of the nearly empty S.S. Smelly Cat..

I sprayed the 100% Legitimo  spray... I tossed Buddy Christ over the bow... I lit candles... I even sacrificed a chicken (in the form of chicken soup from Trader Joes) to the shrine I have for selling this boat.

Crunch time indeed.

And the yo machine was all jacked up yesterday... in fact it is going to be getting a service call this morning. It was very frustrating to have it not doing it's job for the majority of yesterday. I hope for Cathryn's sake it's nothing major... that's the last thing she needs.We take such good care of that machine... but she's got some miles on her for sure.

Here's to easy solutions, boat selling momentum and getting things wrapped up.
