Well the boat place closed at 2 Saturday and she called me around that time, so I had to wait till yesterday to call the salesman and tell him to Get it ready! I called him and said well I got the go ahead from the wife...He then pauses for three or four seconds..I thought I dropped the call....He said it sold Saturday morning......I was like NOOOOOOOO! He said his boss sold it Saturday, I told him what he had told me Friday, He told me he would hold the boat till I got an answer this week...O'well my wife must have had someone on the inside at the boat place she told me about 3 hours to late.....Guess I'm back looking again..Needless to say I wont go back to Barling boat sales!

I thought we had all of this worked out a couple of weeks ago. I understand needing the approval. But, where were you when she called? Where was she might be the question. My wife can't pass up an estate sale or a yard sale. When I need to make a major purchase like this, I watch for the estate sale signs to appear in the neighborhood. Then just "for no reason at all", I slip her $100 from my alternative source. Then I go with her because I don't have anything better to do. She hates it when I go with her. That is when I say I think I will go looking at boats, cars, pickups, ETC. Now I ain't no expert; I am just sharing what works for me.
