chops update 5

ok, so I had a good time with the stage hand gig and now my rent is paid for next month, so i'm back at DCT. actually, I was back on Friday, but it wasn't the best day-Thursday night I took my truck into the shop because it has a leak in the clutch fluid- so I took my brothers motorcycle to work. first problem of the day which should have been a warning sign is the throttle was having some issues in the last mile.- (I will finish this story later because i'm going to go in order of the days events)
 at DCT I started by drilling a shit ton of holes in some pipe to hang the picture frames for Flat Stanley-it's 28 feet long  (2 pieces 14 feet long that connect in the center) and it's really not that many holes, but it filled up the morning, during this, I also managed to fling some flaming metal shrapnel into one of the mutton chops, where it continued to smoke for a few seconds longer then was comfortable.... and I gashed my arm on a metal burr which took a lot longer then it should have to stop bleeding...... at lunch the motorcycle started up fine and ran great for the 500 yards I rode it across a busy intersection for food.
after lunch I ran eye bolts through all of those holes I drilled, but because Home Depot only had enough eye bolts in the size that was about 3 inches too long, I had to cut the bolts- twice-  The deep well socked head couldn't fit all the way on it because it was too long, so I could only drive the nut on a little over half way before I had to cut it, then after I did that and got all the nuts on all the way, I had to cut them as short as possibly to keep them out of the way. then I did just a few minor carpentry things- cut a couple boards, nail then to a flat, then fix a Christmas tree to make it tour worthy. after that we spent the last hour doing an extremely thorough cleaning of the shop. then I left for home.
thats when my night got really exciting. I live about 25-30 miles away from DCT- about 10 miles into the lovely drive on the highway, the motorcycle starts having issues, and actually dies on me- so I pulled over to the shoulder (coincidentally about a 100 yards from the exit I would have to take from that direction to get to where my dad works) so I called my brother to tell him his bike is a piece of shit, then I had my dad come pick me up- he showed up anyways- then decided it would be best if he went and got the trailer, and I stayed with the motorcycle.....due to rush hour traffic, this took him about 2 hours....... (it's normally a 20 minute drive each way) I didn't even get home until about 9:30 pm....it's now Monday,  my truck is still in the shop, the motorcycle is pretty much out of commission.... I have no vehicle at the moment......it's gonna be a fun week.....
I hope y'all have a better week then me!
