Got some terrible news today
Got some news today that made me want to tear up a bit. As some of y'all know, I ordered me a brand spanking new boat about a month or so ago. I was told when I made the order, that it would be around the end of February before it arrives due to me having a little bit of custom work done to it. Being that it's March 03, I decided I better call the dealership and make sure he hasn't forgotten about me. This is where the sad part starts, the conversation starts like this, (Dealer) I've been meaning to call you in regards to you order (Me) Really, is my boat ready for pick up? (Dealer) Not exactly, actually it hasn't even been built yet. (Me) Eyes beginning to moisten, why is that? (Dealer) There appears to be a shortage of aluminum. (Me) WHAT? (Dealer) Yea, the Ford Motor Co. is beginning to use aluminum in most all there cars to lighten them up and improve fuel mileage. Due to this the aluminum market is in short supply. Most boat manufactures are having to back order many models until supply can increase to meet demand. (Me) Bad Word, Bad Word, Bad Word! (Dealer) It will be at least another month. (Me) Bad Word, Bad Word, Bad Word, Bad Word! (Dealer) Have a great day, I'll call ya when it arrives. (Me) No longer able to talk, as the snot bubbles begin to appear.
