Your post made me remember a story.
My Dad has always loved to fish, but BOAT really is an acronym for Bring On Another Thousand…so every time the motor would act up, it would emd up costing $$$.
Wjen he was about 50 years old, he took a class at the trade school on boat motor repair (the class was meant for young people wanting to learn a trade). He volunteered his motor for the school project. They fixed his motor, he learned how to work on it at the same time. The class cost about $400, I always thought that was brilliant!
