OK,this is just crazy..... short storytime.
Come out of rehab this morning in a lite rain.Fire up the Aston (Buick) and the blankety blank serpentine belt pops off. The garage where crazy MIL used to get it serviced at put on a "kit" pulley when the AC compressor pooped the bed. About every 6 months if you turn ignition whilst,"on the gas"..... it pops off. So,having been down this rd before.... I arm wrastled it home,no power steering or alternator or water pump. Who cares? I don't.
Get home,pull into race shed,pop hood,hook up battery charger.Car didn't overheat cause I turn on heat/vent. But still,not gonna work over a hot engine so screw it. Walking through the underground garage there's a box with leftover parts from when we had a "Dish" very rudely mounted to my house.Sent all their stuff back,threw the dish away,kept the bracing arms.
Grabbing one of them,went to welding shop,hacked it at what looked like a 45* ? Clean joint,tigged the pos back together. Mounted it on the new cubby rack.... took maybe 20 minutes start/paint/carridge bolt on.
