Murphy’s Law = what can go wrong, will go wrong. Well Murphy, you suck and so do your laws. Last week when the weather began to take a turn to the cold we turned on our kerosene heater and the thing stopped like Sarah Palin quit on Alaska. It worked for about 15 minutes, just enough to get warmed up but not long enough to actually do anything significant. After spending hours taking it apart and troubleshooting, the problem was a broken rotor. We ordered the part and it didn’t ship for 3 days and is coming snail mail from what has to be Bolivia for how long it is taking to get here. All the while we are freezing our nards off in the shop while the stains and glues won’t dry. Damn you Murphy.
The Same day the heater gave up on us, the handle on the table saw tilt broke off. No big deal, a little ingenuity and a lot of glue later it was working as good as new. But today while cutting a somewhat big board, but not outside the potential of the saw, the saw quit like a opossum in a fight. So what do we do now? Who knows we’re not sure what’s wrong with it or if it is even worth trying to fix. With Murphy being Murphy, if we buy a new saw it will probably break or suck, if we try to fix the old one it will probably break or suck. So the best course of action seems to be to drink some beer, listen to some Willie Nelson and figure it out tomorrow. Surely Murphy won’t mess with Willy and beer.
