Over the last 60 years of trying to get by doing stuff for myself: 1. grunting on the end of an 18" breaker bar on a gear puller trying to get the crank pulley off to replace timing chain on 69 Chev 327. Puzzled why it took so much muscle only to find out the little pad at the end of the puller screw had fallen off and i was welding the puller screw into the tapped crankshaft hole.

Shortened the board and also the the tip of the ladder on one side. 3. found myself on the underside of a ladder caused from reaching out too far. Took about one second. 20 feet above a concrete driveway! 4.Over 30 feet up on a ladder when the @#$ tape measured unclipped itself from the belt and narrowly missed a child who suddenly appeared at that time to retrieve a ball. 5. Distributed some favorite tools left in the engine compartment to some other person(s). 6. Had all the window openings framed and waiting for my order of Anderson windows to be delivered, had BIL there to help nail them in, unloaded delivery and grabbed the window unit, sat it in place and it fit complete with my hands on the outside holding from falling clear through. My order change/screw up, had to line the openings with 2 x 4's. Lucky my BIL is still my best friend! Luckily I can laugh at myself. But the tears don't look manly. Leo
