I don't think he would have noticed,were it not for the chicano rawhide ( baling wire) holding the catolitic converter on. I have presbyterian friend with bad hearing. He thought a nun was in my car.That, and the family of pack rats running across the dash.They moved in during my last trip to the desert. There must be 10lbs of spilled trailmix,M&Ms ,dried fruit,several unused catsup,sugar,salt and pepper packets from fast food drivethroughs scattered about. That, and at least 1" of accumulated soil( dry cleaners deal with dirt, archaeologosts soil) have created a new econiche. In all honesty, the duktape was getting old and the rain nearly finished the job. I have upgraded! I used paracord and practised my knots at the same time.
