nope they found all new ways to do it wrong

Changed oil in my driveway. The old oil filter gasket stuck to the engine. Installed a new filter with both rubber gaskets. Made a royal mess when the engine was started.

I told you guys about this a long time ago.

I found a grinner In my shop. Well It was tucked up In one of my shelves so I couldn't get to It. So I got out the 22 single six and shot It. I figured 2 shots would be better then one and I missed the second one. Got the grinner down and noticed this hole in the dry wall. Went outside a sure enough there was a exit hole In the siding.Looked to my left and sure enough I had taken out the bedroom window. Went Inside and there was a hole through the closet door. It cost me $90.00 to have that window pane replaced.

I have done many dumb things over the years. One recent one that comes to mind was: I have a number of black shoes. One morning I went to work with black shoes and didn't realize until I was at work that I had two different type of black shoes on. One was a penny loafer, the other was a different type of slip on. Funny thing nobody seemed to even notice. At least they never said anything if they did.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

As a young single man I went camping on an abandoned beach on the Costa Rican Carribbean. On the bus ride there two beautiful Norwegian gals didn't have the proper change for the bus ride so as a gentleman I paid it for them. Just a couple of dollars.

I didn't have a tent or sleeping bag they noticed (which they did) so as we hiked in to the beach they asked if I would like to stay in their two-man pup tent with them.


.................I said Nah, that's OK I'll be fine. I figured they were just being nice since I paid their bus fare.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

When I was 13 I decided to build a rocket using sugar and potassium nitrate as a fuel. I decided to melt them and pour them in the tube. I later found out that it melts at 400 degrees and ignites at 425 degrees. I did not have that good a temperature control on my tuna can and candle. Impressive flame though. I thought the candle was probably my problem so I tried again on the kitchen stove. My Dad had no sense of humor at all.

Recently. I went to plug an extension cord into the outside plugin on my house. When I flipped the cover up yellowjackets had built a nest under it and came swarming out. I grabbed the garden hose that was only six feet away and proceeded to hose the nest down. . . made a funny sizzling sort of sound for about thirty seconds and then a really loud pop. Plug in never worked again.

Many years ago I used gasoline to start a fire in my fireplace. We had glass doors on the fireplace and my intention was to close the doors after I lit the fire, there was a big poof and I did the only backward summersault of my life.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Good thing no one was standing in front of the window. Shooting 101 know your backstop.
