I learned some things yesterday...

Just trying to share some knowledge...

If you decide to take your waste motor oil or waste tranny fluid and put it in old apple juice jugs from wal mart so you can take it to a recycling center, doing the responsible thing, make sure you secure them in a box or jug or something. I guess that they don't stay put when you hit 60-65 pounds of boost a couple of times. Six quarts of tranny fluid in the back of the truck... seven or eight pounds of dry sweep and a big mess in the parts store parking lot...

Oh, yeah, while I was screwing around cleaning up the mess up, I screwed my foot...

Dang thing was just laying in the road, guess I turned it up and shoved it through my foot. Oh, yeah, that's my poor, tender flesh on the tip of that screw... no easy way out, and I was not about to get the drill and back it out... rrrRRRRRIIPPP!!!!


In conclusion, if I would have poured the oil out in the culvert, I would not have these problems. (I'm just kidding, I would not do that.)

HTH!!

Now that you've ripped chunks out of your plantar tendon start keeping your eyes on where you're walking and wear steel-shank saddle boots instead o'them glory-fied flipflops when you're outside the house!

You're gonna rue the day you ever met that lag screw for the rest of your life. At 51 I've seen a couple of those poke me, too. And I'm still payin' the price.

I was in the ROAD!! Maybe if I was walking around out in the desert and I stepped on something, I'd be mad, but dang!

I guess I gotta get some outside shoes, huh?

I'll screw their tongue to the floor...


Wow... lot of haters here... lol.

What's really funny, to me, I had a board in the back of the truck that I laid out to clean it out, and it had a few nails sticking out of it... as soon as I saw that, I went in to the garage and got a hammer to bend them over so I would not step on them...

Dang thing was just laying on the ground. God has a sense of humor, no doubt!
