[N2TRUX]

After lunch we focused on getting Scarlett on the ground again. Since someone made the exhaust one piece I had to cut it to remove it. Now we had to figure out how to temporarily reinstall it. We improvised using a rolled up piece of aluminum flashing held in place by hose clamps. Hey, it ain't pretty but it might get me to the muffler shop.
We triple checked our work and filled the transmission with new fluid. We added fresh gas to the tank and started her up. She sputtered a bit, then came to life. For the first time in several weeks Scarlett was driving again. She made the short trip to her stall in the garage and Chris and I wrapped up for the night.
