Hillbilly engineering...

Dad had a gutter business for years....at one point he had 3 trucks going with machines and one empty one for picking up supplies. He and I were at his supplier, about 50 miles from our shop. Came out of the office to a green puddle. He asked me for my knife and picked up chunk of wood out of the back of the truck. He widdled it to a point, picked up a rock and jammed it into the leaky tube. It stuck out of the grill a few inches. Stayed that way for several years....
