3rd try

I have been trying 3 times to post something but my damn computer always shutting down and i loose what i typed.Try it again.

After a year or more i finally got the exhaust on Tracie's car.Took me most of the day on Sunday but i got it done.The 3 bolts twisted off the catalytic converter so i ended up heating the nuts on the front side and i got lucky they screwed right out.Then i had a hell of a time getting the pipe over the axle.Kept trying to put it through on the passenger side and after a half hour Tracie told me to relax and think about it a little.After i did that the light came on and i figured out i had to be on the drivers side.Went through like a charm .I better upload this and i will add more in a little bit

There i got that much posted.

After i got the pipe on i went to put on the muffler and i bought the wrong size clamps.Lucky Ace hardware carries them.I finished that up and i decided i better look at the tire that keeps going flat.I got my board and drove my truck up on the tire and broke the one side of the tire.Tried doing the other side but it kept slipping off so i cleaned the rim up and pumped the tire back up and it leaked worse than before so i found another tire that blew out and the beads broke good on that rim.Had to put a bald tire off of Michael's car on.Stays up now.

Took Tracie's car to work today and on the way home it tripped 325,000 miles(nope not a type error it really does have 325,000 miles)it's a 1991 Cavalier and i bought it in 1992 and it had 10,000 miles.It's not a good looker but it gets us around.

Wow, 325,000 miles! 21,000+ miles per year. Just think of all the gallons of gas - glug glug.
