The cart is broken.
The cart is needed for Fulton's Folly.
Therefore, the cart must be fixed, ASAP!
Anyone with engineering or general fix-it-up clue should meet at
the office at...oh, I'll pull a time out of my butt...6pm this
Sunday 6/29/97. I might change this time if people persuade me
there's a better time. We'll leave when the cart is fixed or we're
all dead (or when we decide we need more time to do serious work).
General ideas for fixing the cart:
1) Completely repair/replace the broken piece. This might require
machining, blacksmithing, welding, drilling, etc.
2) Moderately repair the broken piece. This could require anything
except duct tape.
3) Circumvent the broken piece. This might require drilling new
holes for the handle, creating a new handle with rope, etc.
4) Chop cart into a cruxifix and bolt on the loser who broke it.
NB: this doesn't render the cart operational.
We'll discuss these alternatives, choose one, then implement a
solution, hopefully without destroying the cart or chopping off
brother's limbs. If you like trauma, destruction, carnage, and
bloodshed, but have clue, come anyway. If you're a wussy
software geek, but have clue, come anyway. ;)
Duct tape is not an option.
