June 3 Murphy's not on a 9 to 5 schedule

We got a nice phone call this afternoon from our fish camp friends as thy moved north towards us. Pete said it was going great and best of all no mechanical problems with their floatilla of boats!

Well it was just 20 minutes later he called to report a bearing failure in one of the boats and could we help search out the needed parts. Well we found out how challenging it can be to locate parts late in the day...Murphy evidently does not work on a 9 to 5 schedule.

Finally after many cell phone calls, round trip taxi fare and a $50 emergency call in surcharge...we had the needed $20 bearings that would have stopped the flotilla from proceeding the next day.
