#1 This is about 10 miles from my place. The barn burnt to the ground years ago and this spring the new owner decided to remove the silos to make room for a drive shed. Rumour is that he intended to tear a hole in the side and then scoop the silage out. The collapse took a few seconds so he had just enough time to bail out. #8 A Toyota Land Cruiser will climb almost anything. #10 Keep your shirt tucked in. My machine shop teacher had a wooden paddle that he used on anyone who went near a running machine with loose clothing. Al_in_Ottawa
Had #3 happen to my Grandma as a kid, she had a new sceptic installed which required a leach field, which was installed over an undiscovered sheet of slate/shale substrate. After a year or 2 of use and a period of heavy spring rains the water built up underground, liquified the layer of soil, and the subterranean mud built up and slid right off the substrate and down the hillside - taking the ground above it with it to a depth of about 8 feet.
One lucky fellow. Could of been really ugly. One of the things that makes me think twice when I'm running machines

The silage bridged, the feed beneath the bridge was removed, the walls couldn't carry the load in a breeze. This is not an unusual problem.
DeleteThanks for this. I couldn't figure out what I was looking at.
Delete#10 Damn...
ReplyDeleteHope the operator didn't follow his shirt into the lead screw. Lates don't play around.
-Just a chemist.
#5...Like grits with your cornbread, eh?
ReplyDelete#9 Had that happen to me last night while making gravy. Got two regular shakes then the lid separated from the can.
ReplyDeleteSome idiot decided to redesign the lid on the pepper can, now the whole top is hinged and can 'pop' open. Happened to me.
DeleteUse a regular pepper shaker and save the tin for larger amount.
Delete2 could have been worse, like a finger nail or a toe nail

Got one of those in a blueberry pie once. Family stopped ordering from that bakery.
DeleteStay safe

ReplyDelete#2 - how to increase the iron in your diet.
ReplyDelete9 needs more pepper.
ReplyDelete10 Phil?
If 10 really was Phil, you would be able to see the smoke from his place all the way to Florida.
Delete#10 looks similar to my old Freoth lathe.
