Had to recover one of those from Lake Champlain about 30 years ago. Rental car company was looking at nearly $75,000/day in environmental fines from NY, VT, and the Feds. They did not even blink when I told them what it would cost to put a diver under the ice, with a 15-below-zero air temp.
#10) I have no idea why my wife insists on blocking my view to the passenger side mirror on my truck when I am backing up. When she does that, I purposely slam on the brakes and shove her back in the seat out of my way.
My wife and my 26 year old daughter both are expert at doing this. The only difference between the two is that I can yell at my daughter. My wife, she tells me it is ok to go. I don't listen to her, but wait until I see that it is ok to go. Not that I don't trust her, but well, I guess it really is that I don't trust her, at least as far as seeing correctly whether or not I want to drive fast enough to make it, or just want to move slowly into the roadway.
My father totaled a Ford Model T, because his father said it was "clear" to pull out of a parallel parking space. Me, I don't trust nobody, and I check twice.
-5) WOW! a micro second away from a smashed face (broken nose, split lips, black eyes, multiple scratches and bruises) and a lot of hospital time! The helmet would have been useless.
#5: My youngest at the age of three, his first skiing lesson. He was heading full-speed towards a group of adults, and he was not stopping. I threw my self in front of him. His ski broke on my ribs. He was fine. He was worth it though.
#6 - You know, one of these days, an insurance adjuster is going to examine those videos and say 'I ain't covering that. Accidents are one thing, but that is just stupid as **** !'
#5- Good thing dad stopped the kid, otherwise he'd be paying for a new F-150 tailgate. The wife's F-150 was fucked up by a round bale and just last Tuesday, the '17 F-250 had it's tailgate broken when I rolled off a heavy round bale.
#8 I'd take the second and third ones. You all can have the raw birds that's left.
# 10 The first time someone does that to me I ask them to sit back so I can see. If I have to do it again I tell them I can't see through their head. Once in a while I get a dumbass who doesn't move and says, "It's clear". "Move so I can see!", is my response.
#2: "Is the ice thick enough?" "Only one way to find out!"

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and artsy or not, #9 gets stomped if it's on the floor.
ReplyDelete#5 The man has good sprint time.
ReplyDelete#2: Looks like somebody done screwed hisself out of a seat.
ReplyDelete#5: My Father would have stood back and let me learn something, and a good thing, too. Teaches applied critical thinking real quick.
Pretty good bunch. Definitely felt some kinship to #10. What is up with that? Like you can affect anything you might see?
ReplyDelete#10 I swear my wife has some sixth sense on when I need to see the side view mirror, drives me apeshit!

ReplyDelete#6: You'll be feeling that one for the rest of your life.
#10: I learned pretty young not to do this, thanks to both of my parents (depending on who was driving) screaming at me.
