I think you have your terms "Wrapped around the Axle" here.... Another one to put in my book of great sayings. Although it might have more relevance if it were wrapped around the prop. Thank you... :) When I was young (about 12) , I often hung around a service station owned by a friend of my father. One day an elderly guy pulled in driving an old Rambler station wagon. His muffler and exhaust system from the engine back was dragging on the ground. To get him by until he could get the car in for a permanent repair, the station owner handed me some bailing wire and told me to climb under the car and wire the exhaust back up as a temporary fix. It was temporary alright. I did a great job carefully wiring the exhaust pipe tightly around the driveshaft. Eisboch Oooops.... If you'd have used a slip knot, it probably would have been OK. 8) |
