Name one dumbass thing you have done in the last week!

[Brian Lohnes]

Ok, you guys will get a kick out of this one.

So I am working on Goliath's brakes on Saturday morning. I'm off and on the job all day doing other stuff, monitoring the live feed, etc. I get to the point where I need to bleed the brakes and there's no help in sight. I don't have a "one man" bleeder tool so I enlist the assistance of a big ass rock out of the wall next to the truck. I pump the hell out of the pedal, then put my big ass rock friend on it and jump under the truck to crack the bleeder to let air out.

It was getting later on in the afternoon towards the evening and I had a drag racing banquet to emcee. I thought to myself, "don't be a jackass and forget the rock on the brake pedal. You'll drain the battery with the brake lights on all night."

Yeah, so it was deader than a beached whale on Sunday morning. I jumped it to life and the alternator charged the battery up, but jeez....I felt like a dumbass.

YOUR TURN!

Last Friday I replaced both headlights on the Crown Vic.
When I went to close the hood I noticed I had left a screwdriver on top of the rad support.
I thought I could grab it before the hood landed on my arm.
. . . .I couldn't. :P

It could've been dumber. You could've gone for a drive with a bleeder screw still open.


I put a wrench on the battery hits both posts. Can you light show?

I 'hole-in-oned' a ball of modeling clay right into the distributor hole of the new motor. :o :o :o

Luckily, it didn't go all the way down and I was able to retrieve it with the grabbers. Wheew.

$20 says you can't do that again.

I took my wifes increasingly stronger hints and started refinishing the last floor in the house. Have already done the rest, this one is the worst. Should've waited until AFTER the Thanksgiving thing. Doht!!

Hey, she wanted it done...... 8)

(Anyone need a big ass floor sander? Almost done with it.)

got the X-axis power feed unit of my mill caught on the inside of my garage door and ripped it clean off the mill, shattering the mounting brackets for good measure!
