We start by a beerthirty trip to Home Depot and buy the best  to stick weld the pipe together. Then we tie the pipe to a tree and hook the other end to bubba's pick up and tell him to "HIT IT". Thats a custom 90. After 12 or 15 beer and bend races it's time to weld. Craftsmen makes a hell of a stick welder and the rods from Home Depot mend that pipe up something serious. After about 24 beers we call jim and ask what we are doin wrong. A "Waaaaahhaaaaaaa" LA (Lower Alabama) style we are back on track and the results are breathtaking like a bayou sunset with a mouth full of mudbugs and red sugar water. Life's good in the south | ||
