We take part at some meeting last years. A fun for the whole family.

I can't compete with trumpet playing. This is a serious competition!

[M813rc]

It's unfair for y'all to regularly introduce extra stress into my life - how am I to pick just one vehicle??!!?? Aaaargh!!!!

And Kendelrio, I can honestly say I never contemplated the need for a 12' skeleton until recently, now I keep eyeballing the d@&n things and saying "Hmmmm...."

Cheers

ummm,, that stenciling comes a little too late .. It's already on your toes when you get to read it ...

and yes, i have been 'nicked" just a whisker a time or two when pulling them out alone , even with an imminent reminder in my head

And a reminder on the topside like yours won't stop me from stubbing my toes and tripping while saying some very bad words

However, I bet the girls felt very helpful and that's good !

I have had a battery explode in my face. It was not nice. Since then, I have an immense respect for batteries.

Had one blow under a pickup hood "luckily".. The next time one blew was on an old tractor when I pulled the starting rod while standing beside it as I had done a thousand times before... The battery was belly-high thus I wore liquid head to toe, luckily I had glasses on... Was 40 feet from my house but I tell ya I couldn't have run any faster to the shower and it was burning pretty good everywhere by the time the water hit me, clothes, boots, glasses, and all .. There's NO time to take them off beforehand.. Yeow !

Ouch! Sulfuric is gonna sting. Good job on the glasses, I'm always reminding myself to put those on at the bare minimum. Battery's are no joke

My best friend was 6 steps away. He grabbed me, screamed, (We were in a building with seven 45 KW gen sets roaring away) at me to keep my eyes closed, and drug me 30-40 yards to our "Rest Room Facility." A one hole toilet, one sink, phone both sized building. Shoved my head under the sink faucet, and held me there till I was compleatly soaked. It was about just above freezing. My glasses saved me from serious damage. Then we went back to work.

No. Not going to vote yet. Tonight will be my last night on line for a few days. I will be back before the 31th and then will look at all the "Chumming of the Waters" posts, to make up my mind. You all be good and stay healthy.
