“The net’s full of fish so keep it tight and away from that riptide or we’ll lose them! What do you mean a spark plug broke? Quick get a similar one from the outboard and re-gap it.”
The food freighter with our winter supply of canned goods is going to be at least three weeks late. It’s a good thing our freezer is full of clams, crabs, fish, caribou and moose meat.
“Olay kids, here’s a letter stating that our mail-order winter clothes won’t get shipped until mid-October. So bundle up in your old clothes and get to school before you freeze.”
The handle just broke and we need to split firewood tonight, but a replacement is five miles away and there’s a blizzard blowing.
I’ve had the above and a lot more happen to me so I thought I’d share~:)
