I went out to go work on the boat and about the time I drained the carbs and such getting gas on my hands and all. My oldest daughter came to me saying mommy needs me her sister was hurt. So I stop and go inside and wash up only to find that she had fallen and cut her chin pretty deep and I determined we needed to head to the emergency room. We got that taken care of (3 stitches later) and I went back to what I was doing only to have one of the bolts that hold the carburetor to the engine break 
and I don't own a set of screw outs. I go ahead and take the other 2 carbs off and start cleaning one upon which I realize I need a new gasket and o-rings. Of course this is a part I have to go to the dealer for so now I have to wait till they re-open on Tuesday (close early Sat and closed Sun and Mon). By now I assume my luck will require me to order the parts which takes even more time so I move on to project 2. Project #2 is working on my mom's van which goes well once I figure out that the backyard mechanic my cousin paid to install a used engine forgot to connect a couple sensors . Today I decide to take the family fishing (from the bank dang boat) and the wife told me to go on ahead and she and the girls would meet me later. Things go good but no fish so since I am trying to get used to my new 9wt flyrod I give it some work. Of course I have some problems with timing but I get everything working smooth then get hung up . The leader breaks but not before the brand new flyline gets cut on something underwater . Then the wife kids and dogs show up of course they forgot to stop and get bait so now it's daddy's fault for forgetting bait when he told mommy to get some on her way. I am home now but I am going to have to get up and go in an hour earlier tomorrow because of a problem with a student. So in all my weekend sucked. Thanks for letting me vent and listening and if anyone knows exactly which of the fishing, boating or life in general spirits I ticked off let me know so I can make amends before next weekend as I am taking a 3-day and going fishing for my birthday.
