Taking on Water: The Lowrance Mark-5X Pro Fishfinder Mono 83/200 kHz

I was impressed with the powerful yet simplified performance
Of the Lowrance Mark-5X Pro Fishfinder Mono 83/200 kHz

I had been given the Lowrance Mark-5X Pro Fishfinder Mono 83/200 kHz as a birthday present
Yet my birthday was six months ago
And I was not certain who had purchased it for me

It was delivered to my home last Friday while I was at work
Since I work from home, I was there when it was delivered
I received the delivery politely
Even though I was surprised that my boss allowed me to accept it during work hours

I am self-employed
But that does not mean my boss is any less of a dick than your boss

The birthday card in the box was one of the funny ones from Target
It had a cartoon elderly white geezer shaking his cane at a birthday cake
There were so many candles burning that the cake was an inferno
Indicating the white geezer was quite old
There was a thought bubble above the man's head that read:
I ought to just give up and burn to death
I opened the card and there was a handwritten message on the left side
Written in a language I did not understand
And on the right side there was a printed "punchline"
Which I suppose was related to the elderly white man in an existential crisis
It stated:
Happy Birthday! At least your cane is still stiff!
