I did something two or three weeks ago, and only discovered it today...going out there to mess with the cars. Almost all incident investigations in the workplace involving damage or injury reveal that there was something different going on that day. It's said that multiple factors must come together to create an incident. I'd argue that to a certain point, cell phones and driving, that's just one thing.
Anyhow....
1. I committed internally to take Bubba to the hoopla at the Gearhead Inn, with all of the sound equipment. Different factor No. 1.
2. I put in a hose reel in the garage for my air compressor. I love that thing. It's soooooooo....I love it, have used it a whole lot just because I can.
3. I'll need to load Bubba with sound equipment the day before the big hoopla because I'll probably have to work that day. And park him in the garage for security.
4. I realized the new hose reel takes up Bubba's parking spot in the garage, his nose goes under that shelf with about a half inch to spare to close the garage door. Bubba can't park there anymore, we can't put Bubba and another one of our cars in the garage together.
5. Will Bubba go in there by himself? I tried it, yes he will fit, in the center of the garage. One day I eased him in there, and he sure did fit.
But....I mashed my garage fan that is right there. Didn't know it until just now. I've spent an hour taking that thing apart, bending it back into shape, it "looks" right again, but the moral of the story is you can't fix a cheap fan after you've mashed it. It hops around like a jackhammer. It's done. It's going by the street. The anatomy of a slow accident:
