Mistakes I've made this week !!

[Gary Fowler]

We didn't get much precipitation from the storm but what fell was freezing rain and sleet. I had to go out in in Friday to the Doctor but refused to budge from the warm house for the next 3 days. A bit of sleet last night again but today it is nice and sunny which may warm us up from the 24F temps this morning, however at 9am it is still just 27F.
Speaking of beans, wife will rarely consent to cooking dry bean for me and when she does, she sleeps at the other end of the house. Beans and milk both have the same effect on me although the beans give off more odorous aroma than milk.

I am very bored or I would not be typing this.

Maybe I can vacumn the house again.

Just be careful. I've heard about a few guys having vacuum cleaner "accidents" when they're "bored". And it sounds like today is not your day.

Speaking of mistakes this week, after 20+ years of running a chainsaw I looked down to see myself pouring gas mix into the bar chain oil tank while refilling. Ughh! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Dumb**s! After calling myself names for a couple minutes, I just dumped it into a pan until I saw oil running back out. Oh well, it was 27 degrees F out, oil could use some thinning. I only wasted about 1.5 oz altogether, but making a stupid mistake like that did make me wonder how observant and ready I was to go operate the thing and drop trees if that how's the day's starting.

Not that uncommon an accident. Years ago, I worked on small engines and sold Echo and Husqvarna products and there during woodcutting season, there wasn't a week go by that I didn't have at least chainsaw some in that someone had poured bar oil into the gas tank.

My buddies car was stuck in the mud. About a hour ago I pulled him out. While watching the right mirror didn't notice I slid a little bit sideways (left) and ran a 2 foot scratch down the side of my truck. No buffing that one out...
