If I ever see a temperature in degrees Centigrade, I can't help but do Bob & Doug's quick conversion in my head... "Double it and add 30!" Works every time. Might not be super precise but it's close enough. It was a great comedy sketch and something I still use today.

Playing hooky to go look at a boat. 

A fairly famous chocolate confectioner wants to offload it. 

Its a little small, 25 footer.

Now, I love my boat man.....

But it requires a lot of time to keep it up. 

I barely have time to go to the dock, no less maintain it. 

I need the Honda of boats.
