Yeah it went about as well as one would imagine.

I’m on my 3rd gym, every time I train I always get partnered with:

A. Purple belt who half asses the shown move one time then does it his way and proceeds to teach me his way

B. BRAND NEW white belt who doesn’t know his left side from his right side and attempts the move one time then calls it and just stares at everyone else

C. The wrestler who’s peeved we aren’t doing blast doubles

I’m a marine tech so I work on boats. I deal with a lot of frozen/cracked blocks due to not being winterized, especially this time of year.

Today (as you can see from my last post) I got ahold of a 5.7 Mercruiser that wasn’t winterized. There’s both an external crack and an internal crack. I thought it was going to be a quick (but expensive) engine swap….but I was wrong. After consulting with my boss he told me “the customer doesn’t have a lot of money to dump into this boat, so just put some JB weld on it the best you can”. When I looked at him in horror he goes “it’s not a pressurized system like a car, I bet half the boats on the water have epoxy on them”…..

My theory is: You have a boat, the boat is a luxury item, due to sheer negligence you let the boat freeze and ruin the engine. Why should I put my name behind a half asses patch job? Also from a liability perspective, the engine oil was CLEARLY full of water. If this customer is going down the lake and goes to pass in front of a barge and all the sudden he locks up a bearing and gets run over by the barge and dies….now im responsible for the man’s death.
