My cool neighbor Sam was telling me he needed a modern boiler for his boat.
Sam spent weeks on the ocean, both in winter and summer, as long as the weather was nice.
Sam had sleeping quarters for four, and two full bathrooms. Without the steam boiler and air conditioner, Sam said he would never get any sleep. Right after winter ended, Sam ordered his modern steam boiler. I wanted to know why he would order the boiler so early. According to Sam, it took almost three months to get his last boiler. It had to be ordered so it would fit in the steam boiler area, and once the boiler arrived, he would drive the boat back to the marina where the boat mechanic was, and he would install the steam boiler. I guess he had more fun driving back and forth to the marina, because it was something wee often talked about. Sam asked me to go with him when they called to say the boiler was in, and I asked my husband. Sam told me to have fun. I guess he was cheerful to have the condo to herself for a long weekend. At least that’s what I first thought, until Sam asked if my husband wanted to go along. His husband wanted to go, and he wanted his to have some corporation so he could get some time away from her, and Sam liked my husband. My husband asked if the air conditioner was working, and all I could do was laugh. She knew the steam boiler was broken, and didn’t want to be on the water separate from air conditioning.
