Not the best of days…

Well…yeah, I’ll get to a bunch of political ones tomorrow and over the weekend since the car is down for the count until Monday…had a hanger connected to the pipe just behind the cat rot out on the way home and the car is now too loud to drive so I will be carless until Monday morning when I am having the new pipe hung by the same guy that did the last one…but the hanger that rusted out isn’t even on the new one so I hope the rest of it fits…it still has 4 hangers on it and I’ll keep the one from the old pipe and weld it on if I need it…so, Tom…I may have to use your welder but I think it will be okay without it but we’ll see…so, I have an enforced 3 day weekend off the house and that’s a bit of a pain just when I was making some good progress…let the furnace do a cycle and it turned on and shut down just like it’s supposed to and I got the belt on the blower adjusted so it doesn’t make any noise anymore and I oiled the bearings in the oil caps…yep, it’s that old, and it is pretty damn quiet so maybe it was an okay day…it’s just hard for me to have to wait to have the car fixed but I’ll take some deep breaths and just ride the bike and amuse myself some other way…okay…I’m going to try to repair it…just found a clamp that is big enough to fit around the pipe but I don’t have any beer cans so I’m using six layers of folded aluminum foil that should deform into the hole and make it usable in an emergency…..and the hole is only about a half inch across…okay, closer to an inch but I’m going to try it anyway…
