1. Look at weatheronline- find out predicted W/NW 20/25 knots on Sunday isobar squeeze between Low over East anglia and high over Brest and I was planning a Fecamp dash on Sat coming back - on Sunday.
2. Can't find wallet at work - wife can't find it at home
3. My department gets blamed for AC failure when it turns out IT have obstructed the air flow
4. Go home to cancel cards - find wallet - wife upset because she looked everywhere and missed it
5. Go to Marina to fill up for weekend - drop mobile in the marina
6. Get to fuel berth- still thinking about mobile tell wife to bring end of spring back on board - she follows my instruction and brings all of spring on board taking it off cleat in the process - yacht pivots embarrasingly on fuel berth - all my fault

A worse day

A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the house in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man, still holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door and the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house.

The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room, and found her husband laying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle laying next to him and the patio door shattered. The wife ran to the phone and summoned an ambulance. Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of long steps to the street to direct the paramedics to her husband.

After the ambulance arrived and transported the husband to the hospital, the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Seeing that gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained some papers towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet.

The husband was treated at the hospital and was released to come home. After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while still seated.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband laying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin.

The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance. The same ambulance crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the street. The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street.

While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself. She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them tipped the stretcher and dumped the husband out. He fell down the remaining steps and broke his arm.
 
Accentuate the positive!

If you are lucky enough to be that close that you can get to your boat after work, then you have a head start as a lucky guy.
