Re:Rally NY - 2006/04/02 16:46
I just got a lesson in what it means to be desperate.
The back cap in my tig froze, and dummy that I am, I tried to force it and it broke.
Phil and Andrew are coming in at 5 tomorow to get back at the chassis, and if I don't have a tig, the cage comes to a standstill. Nothing is open, and soone will ship. It was 4:30, and I started franticly driving, thinking where the nearest mall was, that might have a Sears. Sears carries the pro tig 185, and there is a remote chance that one could be in stock. It's not likley that thay would have a back cap, but if they had a display model, I could steal the back cap.
All this was going through my head as I was trying to think of where a mall might be, and in rural NH, good luck.
Then it dawned on me that instead of resorting to theft (which I seriously would have done) I could put a collet on the back of the torch body, wrap it in heat tape, then heat shrink, then electrical tape.
I rushed back to the shop, and put my improvised back cap into reality. Heat soaking will likley be an issue, and I turned up my gas just incase I have a leak, but We're still in buisness.
Is anyone else not sure what clocks they have that automaticly update, so thay are afraid to change any of their clocks? I have no friggen clue what time it is.
