well once again the Lord found us a good church! we got a late start looking for churches and so we missed out on some that were halfway through their service. we passed two Unitarian ones and eventually wound up at highrock. the people were friendly and the music was good. the message was well thought out and based on solid Bible teaching which is always awesome. after the service we went downstairs and they had english muffins with ham, bacon and cheese! we talked to a couple of different guys and then headed back to clean our car.
we moved some things around and as i was transferring the dried fruit i found up into the cartop carrier i noticed something kinda bad. 6 of the 8 pop rivets that held the subaru roof rack to the roof had failed! the cartop carrier was held on by a thread! (the angels pushing and fixing the car were likely holding that on too) i put a ratchet strap through the two back windows and over the top of the carrier to hold it secure until we could get something better rigged up. i also put some screws from my baggie of random hardware into the old pop rivet holes and duct taped them in so that they would keep the rack from sliding around while the ratchet strap kept it from flying off. we went to the airport and picked Thomas's dad and then headed for the wayside inn for dinner. this is the place that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote about. i had the lamb which was good and i tried some of the fish that the others ordered which tasted like fish. our server was super nice and gave us a little something for our trip!
we got some 1" bolts and washers to secure the roof rack at home depot and i think they will hold well. i put them up through the holes in the roof and rack where the old pop rivets were and ill add some caulking tomorrow when i get a chance so it shouldn't leak or anything!
and now its bed time for me :)
