I went to light my torch today only to discover that I’m fresh outta oxygen. While I have a million other things to do, the show must go on, so let’s drop everything and refill the tank.
Welp. I have a backup tank but both are empty (ugh, Sarahhhhh) so looks like I’m hopping in the car to refill both.
Apparently there’s an oxygen cylinder shortage locally. Cool. Looks like a little road trip is in order. Can you tell this is exactly how I wanted to spend my morning?
Road tunes are mandatory. If you think I’m the type of guy that’s been screaming/singing/crying Phoebe Bridgers’ new album for the past month straight, you are correct.
We made it! No traffic! A miracle. Swapping my two empty tanks for two newly filled tanks at the welding supplier.
Back in the studio. Bag secured!
The regulator and hoses are reattached. I didn’t record myself wrangling with the wrench to get the regulator off initially, which is better of us all, because it wasn’t pretty and there was a lot of swearing.
The sweet, sweet needle move of a full tank. We’re back in business. 👩🏼🏭
