I don't want to tell. Might embarrass myself too much. Let alone let out secrets.

I'm not scared.

One day I noticed the power line going to the transformer behind the house was on fire. I calmly went to the back of the house turned on the water to the hose reel and dragged the hose out to the back yard. I was poised to put out the fire when I thought how stupid could you be. Called the power Co and they said It was no big deal and they would come out.
And that's only one of many dumb moves.

After tying a new fly on my line ….I cut the main line…instead of the tag end…..and my fly drifted down stream in the current

Me either Beav.
Was holding a piece of metal in my hand and decided to enlarge a hole in it with a drill. Yep drill went through it a little quicker than I thought. Right in to the palm of my hand. Nice 1/4” hole full of metal shavings. Still can’t believe I did that.

More trappin' and less yappin'.

Today? Smoked a chainsaw then "fixed" it till good and broke.
Later? Rebuilding it rather than buy new.

Drained the oil out of a truck engine, then got busy greasing parts and other maintenance. Started the truck to make sure a fitting was getting grease to the part that needed lubricated. After a couple minutes the engine seized up. Took the injector pump, air compressor, turbo, etc etc etc. $30k later it was fixed.

When I was a very young man a hired hand that worked for my dad part time with our cattle was over one day. A couple of young buddies were over hanging out and we got to talking to the hired hand. He was taunting us that we couldn't pee high enough to hit the smooth fence wire that was charged on the inside of the barbed wire interior.

We all said we bet that we could do it . So I went first. Guess what happened next........................ crazy

You didn't specify whether alcohol or the statute of limitations comes into play. There's a lot of things I'd just as soon forget.

how about the dumbest thing I have done lately

I was cutting a piece of aluminum angle iron with a angle grinder and cut off wheel

I was in a rush so of course didn't put the piece in the vice , so I am free hand cutting when it binds and sends the cut-off wheel into my left index finger luckily it only ground down into the meat a little before I drop/tossed both the work and the grinder on the floor.

use the vice.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Recently......

I was weed whacking. I left off the trigger to go around a wire. Well the darn thing didn't stop spinning quick enough for my liking. So I reached down to stop the head. About the third time the string went across my knuckles I realized how dumb I was.
I went into the house and showed the wife. She just looked at me, shook her head, and proceeded to dump a whole bottle of peroxide on it.

When I was a kid, I told my dad to Shove It...I remember the only thing he said was "Really?" Then he shoved my head under his arm, then shoved my dumb arse out the door, and finally shoved my face in the ground. There was no more telling him to shove anything ever again. Lol
