Don, around here I am considered a "moderate" as far as politics and such
go.

One mechanic at my boat dealer is called "The Gunny" and he has a GI-Joe
doll based Marine Corps shrine in his work area. It is complete with
NRA, Marine Corps, Gunowners of America, Republican and other decals
and emblems. Not to mention Joe dressed in cammies and armed with
a little plastic rifle (the kind that school kids in Canada would get expelled
the rest of the year for possessing). In the mornings when he has coffee he
says his prayers at the Shrine (Catholic) too.

An old squid (retired Navy hand) runs the parts counter. He makes The Gunny
look like Shirley Temple.

Guess what? They even do work for liberals and Democrats. Although I
wouldn't make too much light of that fact if I were in one of those
catagories.

It really depends. If I drop off my Parker for service during the
season, I expect it to be ready the following weekend.

This is very reasonable time table.
There are a few circumstances that may require more time,
but I don't have room in my service lot to keep boats
for too long.

More dealers need to learn how to schedule appointments. It's a lot less
frustrating for customers and
there's a lot less chance of theft or damage to customer's
equipment while it's at the dealership.

Fortunately, our Parker dealer has lots of fenced in real estate and
enough work to keep at least a dozen mechanics busy year around.

Please, do tell the group, what experiences do you have in Georgia?
Contrary to what your senile over the hill mind is telling you,
Georgia is one of the most progressive states in the U.S., and the
economy is much better than CA. AND, we have electricity ALL YEAR
LONG! Now, may I suggest that, if you don't have a damned CLUE what
you are talking about, that you shut up? You just make yourself look
stupid, or senile.

Tell us more about this "education" thingie 'asskisser?

Is that where you learned to grow illegal substances such as Marijuana?

Does having teeth help you to clamp down on the doobie when you are smoking
it?

Wow! How does one go about getting in on such a sophisticated tea-party that
produces such refined peterheads such as yourself?

ROFLMAO!
