GODS BUST BOBBY DAY.

        Yesterday I decided to do a job I've been putting off for a while, fixing the exhaust on my wife's car which consists of cutting out a section of pipe and replacing it with anther piece, no problem right?  Well I guess God was having one of those bust Bobby days not because things went terribly wrong but because it was the little things that only god could think of to aggravate me.

        I had no problem cutting out the bad piece then I had to go to the parts store to get two connectors to put the new piece in with, Well $15 later I returned home with parts worth 6 bucks but I learned where not to buy my parts from so it wasn't a total loss. OK back to work. I get the old piece I cut out and line it up with the new one, has to be the same length, right? Cutting it was no problem, hell I'll be done in no time. I crawl back under the car, I just love crawling under my vehicles in the drive way getting covered in crap, Very manly. Now I have to clean up the ends of the pipes with my trusty file so the connectors will slip over them. After filing and fitting a few hundred times I finally decide, Good Eough, lets get it together.

        Here we go. I put the first connector on and with a couple of wackes with a hammer its on, yea. now I put in the new piece and push it up to see how it fits, Damn too long, gota cut off about 2 inches. This is not as easy as it sounds cause now instead of having a 2 foot piece of pipe to cut from I now have this 1 foot piece to try to hold while cutting it with my piece of crap saws all with a blade that was worn out 3 jobs ago. Well I try to hold the damn thing a hundred different way and I'm half way Thur it and I finally say F### it and go get my hack saw, ten minutes later I'm back under the car. Now it fits but I have to undo the hanger on the muffler and drop it down so I can line up the two pipes and the connector. 

       About this time GOD decides to add a little excitement to his plan and I hear thunder in the distance. GREAT. I'm not stopping now. The hanger on the muffler is not too hard to get loose. It has a bracket the go around the muffler and has one bolt to tighten up and the thing has a tab the slaps into the bracket on the car, no problem.

       Now the muffler is down . I get things lined up but I can't get the muffler back up and if that's not bad enough it starts sprinkling just enough to make me think that it'll be pouring any moment cause it's been thundering for about 20 minutes so I get up , pick up my tool and put them back in my truck. Guess what, yea, it stops sprinkling as I'm walking to the house. Son of a b###. I go back and get my wrenches and there's this huge clap of thunder at which point I look up at the sky and say, Go ahead strike me. You'll be doing me a favor.

        Well I crawl under again and I guess god figured enough was enough cause every went together like I knew what I was doing and I was done in no time. I put my tools away and got in the house just before it started to rain. I guess he just want to say GOT YA.
