Termites and Mufflers
An interesting ride home. I was driving down Bond Street in Westminster and the driver side muffler of my dual exhaust decides to break clean off of my header and half drag on the ground. So I pulled over in traffic, hopped out and crawled underneath it, only to realize that the only tool I have is a multi-tool, and no flashlight. So I do the best I can to try and break the bolts free from the end of the pipe that’s still dangling, but they are so rusted I can’t. I found an old bungee in the bronco and try to use that to tie it up to the frame, but low and behold, it’s too long and I just can’t seem to get it to hold up the pipe high enough.
Luckily some guys stopped and brought me some flashlights as well as some wire coat hangers, and I eventually hoist the hunk of junk onto the frame with those. Very nice of them to help me out. They said they were worried I was going to get hit by a car, and they were sorry I had to get my costume all dirty (wasn’t really wearing much of a costume, but anyway).
So now I need new headers….and new tailpipes for the new bronco. Until then I’ll just cope with having an intensely loud bronco for a while.
In addition to that, my dad says we have termites. Luckily I work for an extermination company, so I should be able to get termite treatment for somewhat cheap. Considering a discount and how small our run down shack really is. 30×30 foot.
Still, I did not need to spend money on these things, when I’m trying to save up for a christmas for my father.
At least I’m thankful I have a job.
