This Is What I Found In My Garage Today When I Got Home...

Long story to ensue...

So we have this bonus system at my work where if we reach a certain goal each quarter we receive "points" that are added to a website that has items you can put your points towards to order. Last year we hit the highest goal each quarter so we got maximum points possible, and in addition they awarded a 10,000 point bonus for accomplishing that feat all year long. In this online catalog of things to get was an Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident 11 angler kayak and it was well within my point total to get so that's what I ordered on January 31st. I get a call from a guy two days later and he procedes to tell me that OK has discontinued the Prowler Trident series of kayaks and has split them into two different models, the Prowler T's and the Tridents (pretty much the only difference between the two is the Tridents come with a better "Rod Pod" hatch lid that has places to mount accessories, and it actually comes with a rod holder to put in it.) He then tells me that I will be receiving the Prowler 11T instead of the Prowler Trident 11 like I had ordered. I said that's fine and go ahead and send it, and he said I would receive a call from the shipping company in 7-10 days to set up a delivery date.

I received that call yesterday and set up the delivery for today since my dad was going to be here while some construction was going on in my basement. Then I get a call from him saying that the driver was there to drop off. And this is what I found in my garage :)

He then asks me if it was only supposed to be 1 kayak or two. I said only one. And this is what ended up in my garage :)

I wasn't arguing as they were both shipped in my name and had "1 of 2" and "2 of 2" on the outside of them. Oops...someone made a mistake and I have 2 kayaks now...BONUS!!! An early birthday present to my wife...
