I was really looking forward to spending the weekend at the lake.
I bought a brand new fishing pole and a new box of lures that I wanted to try.
I rented a boat for Saturday afternoon so I could go out to the best places on the lake. I was ready for complete and total rest and relaxation. Unfortunately, my plans had to be scrapped when I came home from work and the air conditioner wasn’t blowing cold air. I was supposed to pack my bags and get in the truck to go to the lake. Instead, I had to call a heating and air conditioning service company and schedule a service appointment. Jack wanted me to wait until Sunday afternoon to make the call, but I didn’t want to deal with the air conditioner problem the day before I have to go back to work. I called my friends and told them that I would be unable to join them for the weekend. The air conditioner service had an emergency appointment available for that evening so I decided to take the time slot. I had to pay an extra $50 for the emergency after-hours appointment, but they were finished with the repair by 10 pm. I decided to surprise my friends and I drove to the lake after the air conditioner was repaired. My friends were very surprised and happy to see me and even happier that I brought a 12-pack of beer. The next day, I caught a three foot trout that looked like a prize fish. I threw him back, but not before I took a dozen pictures with the beauty.
