A New Division at Sheddington

Sheddington Marine


This morning I took over a trailer hitch and we fitted it to old #9 (Rick's Truck)

Then in something of a divergence from our normal activity of picking up motorcycles, we picked up a jet ski and trailer.


Neither of us have much experience with trailers, especially backing up with them.
However after a bit of guidance and a lot of hand waving it was located on the drive outside of the correct house.



Fortunately another associate, Fernando was on hand to assist with the task.


Fernando had just left his "Hideaway" when he was seconded for some help.
Remember Fernando's Hideaway?
 Oh no, that was Hernando's Hideaway, never mind it was a good line.

And all you'll see are silhouettes
And all you'll hear are castanets
And no one cares how late it gets
Not at Hernando's Hideaway
Ole!

This is the model, a Sea Doo GTI by Bombardier.
The motor is made by Rotax, so it should be strong, we think that a quick clean and tune up should see it ready for the ocean or lake.

Here the senior members of the Sheddington Board congratulate one another on the successful completion of another  mission. 
The guy in the red shirt is Rick's son Austin.

We had planned to pick up a motorcycle too, however that idea was orange tagged when the paperwork didn't show up.
This will be another challenge for the S.I.M.W.

Now it will be sometime this week when we make the trip out to Hermosa Beach to pick up an Aprilia, which by chance also has a Rotax engine.
As the motorcycle is being sold by an attorney, we want all of the paperwork straight before money changes hands.
