My muffler fell off on the way to the gig tonight.   It's a good thing I left a little early.   Had to stop in Sears to get the van on the lift to get it the rest of the way off.   The tailpipe was stuck over the axil.


Driving in the passing lane, going up a hill.   I heard a funny noise.    Pulled over to look.   The muffler was dragging on the road.   Too wet from rain to lay down,  so I drove on down the shoulder.     Get to Sears, they are leaving for the night.   Kid gets the manager to open the bay door.   He starts to pull it on the rack and the muffler gets stuck against the gas tank.    I just filled it up.   30 gallons of gas ready to blow out if he pokes the muffler through the tank.    Had to jack up the backend to get the muffler dislodged.    Got the van on the rack, took the tailpipe off the axil and left.     He said no charge.   I give him two tens.  He split it with the kid.

My day is planned for Monday.   New muffler and tailpipe.    All my pay from tonight was spent before I even set up to play.

Man that bites -

It must have been the night for it - I get to my gig Sat. night I'm just getting started and my 19 yr old daughter calls. Her car won't start. She is 30 min. away from me,
doesn't have her cell phone, with $2 in her pocket. She calls from a department store phone. Aaaaarrrrrg!!!!!!

Babs, don't your daughter have a boyfriend to rescue her?
