Myself and my friend used to go to his families cottages in the U.P. several times a summer. The lake was about 1x3 miles, called Brevoort lake. Once we tried to catch a Mallard duck, with him holding a clothes basket and me using crusts of bread to lure it close to him, to where he could toss the basket on top of the duck. Well damn if we didn't catch a male Mallard in that basket. Then we were faced with the thought of, "what are we going to do with him?" After about a half hour, we ended up letting him go back at the lake, but we were able to do what we set out to do. We must have been 12-13 years old at the time, so we didn't think things out that well, at the time.
#4 I've used those, and the bouncing is no joke, even on relatively level ground. As is the temptation to leave all your materials in the bottom of the lift. Which is why OSHA rules REQUIRE fall protection (being tied in) when you're in this type of lift. OSHA requires it in scissor lifts too, but with the boom lifts I can actually see that it's necessary. Far to easy to bounce right out of the basket and land headfirst on the concrete.
I've never dumped THAT MUCH stuff out of one, so that's kind of impressive I guess. Real embarrassing when you have to stop, get out, pick everything up, put it back in the cardboard boxes in the bottom of the lift, and carry on. And all that while the fool with the camera is impatiently waiting for you to get out of the road so he can get where he's going. So there's that.
#6 - Someone has achieved peek dad. #7 - Yet another example of why you shouldn't stand on things not meant to be stood on. Showed it to the two-year old with that comment. #10 - WTF is up with #10? Somebody drops something into the water, someone else washes something off in the same water. No idea what either thing is, not seeing why it's in the list.
#7 - I want to know who built those cabinets. While she looks like she doesn't weigh more than 80 pounds...neither do my young children....in fact they weigh less than 50 pounds....and they have *destroyed* every single cabinet in my house by hanging on them, using them as step stools, cramming shit into them then trying to force them closed, etc...
4. Was on a job where a guy in a boom lift crossed some deep wheel ruts at speed. He launched out of the basket and his harness snatched him back down into the basket hard. It fucked him up bad. At first we thought it killed him but he was just knocked out. Good thing too, because there were some bones sticking out of his skin. Found out later that he went on disability. 9. Hi ho silver muchacho's! 10. I'd guess she's a gender studies major but she doesn't have blue hair, tattoos and a junkyard in her face.
Whenever a boat would tailgate our boat going into the harbor (it's a no wake zone) we would throw a hand full of crackers and the seagulls would swoop in after the crackers and instantly poop all over the too close danger close boat! GOOD TIMES!
I can remember my mother bathing my baby sister in the kitchen sink because the place they were renting only had a shower. But not in the same water as the dishes! Babies poop in their bath sometime.
Eventually Dad built a little wall about 6" high across the front of the shower stall. With a plug in the drain, it would hold enough water to bathe small kids.
Trying to scan her card to put money in the well of wishes? wow.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I saw the mag strip but couldn't figure out why. Must be one of the 28% of Biden supporters

DeleteWow! I'd feel so much better if I thought this was a joke...

ReplyDeleteCaption for 6+7- "Mom's not Home"
ReplyDeleteYou do know this ain't Monday, right.
ReplyDelete#7 - Those are some impressive hinges in that cabinet. Really surprised the door wasn't ripped off.
ReplyDelete#7. That’s a high-quality cabinet there.

ReplyDelete#10 I'll have to admit that the credit card will be just as effective as the coins.
