#1 - Harbor freight lift which has to be the worlds worst lift. Not designed for any weight at all, wheel chock is complete crap, and it demands that you don't jack it up quickly, or it can start rocking. Oh, and the paint will start flaking off if you sneeze at it. Then put the bike on the center stand without a secondary lift? And not strap the bike down? This is what you deserve when you place your trust in total chinky crap. Cheap tools are dangerous tools. And dangerous tools in the hands of total hacks leads to lost limbs and ruined vehicles.
The best way to use harbor Fright crap is leave it in the store. I bought a 6lb maul there once. Swung it exactly once and the handle shattered in my hands. Never again.
#9 Is expected when trimming limbs and stuff from a ladder, the limbs often follow a predictable path. I learned from youtube rather than the hard way, so when I saw my ladder was probably going to get knocked down by a falling limb, I employed my planned exit strategy. It was simple enough to step onto the tree while my ladder went its own way, then hop down. A tree pruner would eliminate this liability but finances don't permit one yet.
#3 When I was around 12 years old, I watched an angry bull almost totally destroy a pickup that was in the pasture with it. It's amazing how much damage a large bull can do.
To the two guys who commented on #9: The first thing you're taught when you're a wildland firefighter on a hand crew- if you're packing a sharp tool and begin to stumble toss the tool, preferably downhill if you can. It's something I learned over 50 years ago and that lesson has stuck with me all these years. It becomes automatic when you start to slip.
Onthe way to accident scene on back country road. Suddenly a herd of cows came through the fence a short way in front of us, crossed the road, and went through the fence on that side of road. At the back of the herd was a very large white bull, very large, encourageing those cows across the road and through the fence. Then he saw us sitting there waiting for the herd to cross, we were talking to dispatch to let them know about the Great Escape when WHAM, our truck was thrown backwards a few feet, then wham wham wham, that bull attacked my well used F150, partner was yelling words at bull, I was screaming like a girl for bull to stop. ( I am a woman) Dispatch was going crazy hearing the verbal mayham and the sounds of my faithful truck being attacked. So very scary. Deputies arrived to rescue us, by then the bull had gone back to his herd and disappeared through the brush in the "new" pasture he had claimed. Ah the good ole days.
#10 - does that truck have the "If you don't like the way I drive..." bumper sticker?
ReplyDelete#9 Extra points for performing the Scorpion.
ReplyDeleteOK, your comment made me laugh really hard.
Delete#5--Sure. Young women deserve exciting new career opportunities. Let's let them join the combat units in the military. Seems fine. Amirite?
ReplyDeleteToday's young men are too fat and lazy to put down the phone and get up off the couch.

DeleteThe back of the bike was stacked with bags, like camping gear and whatnot. That is what caused the bike to rotate out of the front chock.

#10 - He didn't HEAR that truck rumbling up behind him, even when it was practically on top of him? It wasn't exactly creeping along on that sidewalk.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was an EV!
DeleteStarker was here.
Looks like it just got on the sidewalk to avoid that car in the street.
DeleteThis is why you severely limit immigration, not only in numbers, but in intelligence. You don't want to import that kind of work attitude here.

ReplyDeleteI was once charged by a bull when I was crossing a field. Fortunately, I was in an excavator at the time. It was still a scary experience.

ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what was going through dispatch's mind.
