Backed out of our garage 2 weeks ago at 6:15 am, half asleep, single car garage, watching the passenger side mirror to make sure it cleared. In the process, compressed the drivers side mirror to about 3/4 of its original size.

Another story, putting the fishing boat in the lake, things are going well, wife holding onto the boat. Park the truck, look at the boat and its sitting a little low in the water and getting lower. Its amazing how much water comes in through that little hole...

 

Got ya one, wasn't me but my friend during our camping trip a couple weekends ago. Brought the sea-doo out to run on my little 15 acre lake. One of the girls hopped on, pushed off to get away from the bank. Then she realizes that the battery's dead. We didn't see her for about 30 mins driftin around. We had to swim out to get her back lol. I made her help push.

 

Last year putting my boat into a local river. Backed in pretty deep and set the ebrake. While I was unhooking the boat the brake let go as I did not set it enough and I had to jump out of the way or my own truck was going to run over me. Sad watching your truck go past you into the river. Thank god for my stt's.

 

Many years ago a friend asked me to overhaul his outboard motor. I did, but near the end dropped a small bolt. Looked and looked but never did find it, so got onother one. Finished the overhaul, stuck the motor on the boat and it ran great. Took it out for a long drive when suddenly loud cruching noises came from the motor and it stopped. On dismantling I found the missing bolt. I must have dropped it into the intake and it eventualy found it´s way on top of the piston where it proceeded to do mass destruction.

 

Similar story, a buddy of mine pulled up on his driveway to change his oil. He put one of those combo drain pan/storage containers under it, pulled the plug and watch it proceed to fill the top of the drain pan. Turns out, he remembered to pull the plug from the bottom of the drain pan, but he forgot to open the vent. After running almost a gallon onto the driveway, he finally got the vent opened up.

And I can safely say this wasn't me, it really was a buddy. I always change on the dirt so I don't make such a mess.

 

last winter i was changing my oil put a 5 gal bucket under to catch the old, had to go chase a cow forgot what i was doing proceded to add the new oil but it never came up on the stick, CAUSE IT WAS RUNNIN OUT THE DRAIN INTO THE BUCKET WITH ALL THE OLD STUFF i hate cows somtimes.

 

I backed over 4 gallons of Fleet Charge yesterday. Its now protecting my gravel driveway and underside of my truck with SCAs. On the bright side I didn't touch ONE of the $0.99 bottles of distilled water that were right next to the Fleet Charge bottles.

 

When I meet T-Rad at Waffle House.


I changed the oil in my truck and used an old 5 gallon bucket to catch the old oil. I should have checked to make sure the bottom was still firmly attached. Apparently someone tried the cut the bottom off awhile back and forgot about it. Needless to say 3 gallons of oil is a mess to clean up

 

Went tot he CAT rental store to pick up a rental skid steer. Hooked up my 24' gooseneck at the house and drove it 8 miles to the rental store. Put out the ramps, jumped into the skid steer and proceeded to back it up the ramps onto the trailer. seemed kind of weird as I was backing up, I thought the skid steer was heavy enough to pick up the rear of the truck so I moved up and on to the trailer pretty quick. Everything settled down so I proceeded to chain down the skid steer. As I walked past the back of the pickup I saw that the pin and the box of the gooseneck was setting nicely four inches in front of the receiver for the hide-a-ball and resting above an almost perfect square hole in the bed of my truck. I didn't set the pin that holds my hide-a-ball to the receiver in the truck. when I backed up the ramps, the pin lifted out of the receiver. The trailer was only held by the safety chains. The only good part was the pin for the hide-a-ball missed my gas tank by about half an inch, and I had a really nice drain in the bed of my truck for water, tow straps and groceries to fall through.

Fixed the hole with a full sheet of 3/4 OSB...
