A friend had bought a new dryer and needed help installing it. It needed a different pigtail. So I'm holding the leads of the new pig tail in one bare hand and the plug in the other. She asked if it would fit the outlet, so I, with out thinking, just plugged it in and nearly electrocuted myself.

Ray, you should consider starting a YouTube channel. If you speak half as well as you write you'd be in good shape.

Plenty people are making money doing this, if that is something you want to explore.

Thanks for the accolades. I played around with videos but I am not a fan of my own work. My preference is writing. I started a web site and a blog is part of that site. In time, I hope to make a bit of advertising money and maybe sell some outdoor items. At this point it's a long shot but it's fun and I enjoy web development and writing.

It wasnt my fault, but any of yall that have driven professionally know its always the drivers fault. I had a nightly haul from Amazon to the airport. I would back up to the plane and the pilot and a helper would load. No helper one night, pilot said he would stand on the lift gate to load. I positioned it where he wanted and backed up per his instructions. The liftgate was under the plane. I asked about pulling forward and raising the liftgate level with the cargo door. He said no that was fine like it was. As we were standing on the liftgate conveying packages we started going up. The switch was shorting and by the time I made it to the cab to kill the main power, it had ripped a large hole in the bottom of the plane. That was a long night.

I thinking my biggest regret is accepting people as they appear to be.
Example my Son in Law. Always talking big and having dreams of accomplishing what he plans on doing .And needs a few (Hundreds bucks) to get started then the unplanned event comes and wipes all away.
again dreaming big going again but unable to pay owed amount .
starts small business and again only needs some Green to operate the business that seems to be doing well. so again loans the funds to stock the business.
Then his truck and trailer is stolen covered by insurance so only needs for a month or until gets payment then will repay .( Un huh) end of 30 days. know insurance had paid .no repayment so ask when . Then gets his lawyers notice of Bankruptcy. and no contact or asking for repayment.
My lawyer tells me after several thousand of fees it is Federal and nothing he can do. attend hearing and judge says same. so 80 thousand bucks gone and he still has the business and doing well.
Best of the problem he is no longer my son in law . Never not Ever trust Family with your money.

Penske ate that one. The company I drove for leased from them. So I parked it at Penskes garage with an out of service tag explaining the switch problem. Never bothered to tell them of the airplane incident untill I had their report of a defective switch. They never would discuss the incident with me afterwards.

Some JBWeld, a little strategically placed duct tape and the plane was probably good to go anyways.

Feel your pain. Had a guy do bankruptcy while I was doing three developments for him. He came out like a bandit me and a lot of other contractors bit the dust.
There is no justice for those shafted.
