Next door’s boat, which I hate with every fibre of my being, has now been gone for almost two weeks. Every day it’s not there is glorious. However, I am cautious because the last time it disappeared, it was gone for 5 weeks before magically reappearing. He’s not taken it out since then, over a year ago.

My hope is that he finally decided to get rid of it. I think they’ve had the boat around four years, and have taken it out maybe half a dozen times.
