Day of Reckoning
I ran out of acetylene yesterday. It is hard to know just when you are going to run out, because it's dissolved in acetone and so the tank doesn't just run dry. The flame sputters, and then the torch won't light, and I get really spazzed out from sputtering explosive gas flame. Major adrenaline rush. Then slowly letting out the gas by the fan to get it out of the studio. It's just a messy situation.
So today I have to do what I dread: pick up a new tank at the welding shop. I dread this because they always show me a picture of an exploded car that was carrying acetylene. The ride there takes 10 minutes. The ride back takes half an hour because I am going so slow and sweating the whole time.
Uh, pray for me? haha.
