Why Did I Think It Was Smart To . . . [Add Yours]
 

. . . put anti-seize on the exhaust system studs when I put the engine back in the van. Now I have to suffer until it burns off.

Put a small piece of duck tape over the top of a well I installed....only to have it hang on the internal coupling of the sleeve pipe when I pulled it back up - so the well came back out with the sleeve.....duh.

Confront hunters on their threads.

You put too much on. You only need a dab of it. You will be thankful if you ever have to take it off.

Yes, mostly good if not great, but some days I wonder just what the heck was I thinking...

...try and present an counter argument on PARF?

Get out of bed

Drop out of college and become a self employed auto mechanic.

Dating a girl from one of the richest families in the country, great girl, easy to get along with too. And then thinking money is not everything - duh.

Trade a '65 split window VW van for a Peugeot 304.

Eat a second bean burrito

Being talked into a jalapeno eating competition by someone who doesn't really like me.

Go tearing out into a howling January ice storm to attempt to prop up the leaning stud walls of the barn under construction when some of the braces gave way. :rolleyes:

When the walls came down, at least I was standing between two of the studs. :eek:

I'm laughing uncontrollably. I did the same thing at about the same age.:D

Why did I think it was ok to check the chain lubrication on my bike while in motion. Ran my finger all the way through the front sprocket.

I used keys, at about the same age.

YEOW!

My first year of teaching, I allowed a student named Richard Head to use a nickname.

When I was 8, I found an old power cord in the garbage. I put paperclips in it, hooked it up to a 9 volt batter, then plugged it in....at my friend's house. It recharged the battery, as far as I could tell. It only occurred to me later that day that his dad yelling at him in Hindi and his lights going out might have been related to my experiment.

Dr. Michael Hunt ran the planetarium at my high school.

Swap out a new fuel petcock for a leaking one on my still warm from ride Norton with 3+ gallons of gas in the tank.
Long funny story with good outcome. NEVER try this, Darwin Award material..������

...sell my 1963 Ragtop bug for almost nothing.

Mel Ted Dick was my history teacher in high school. No joke.

Traded my 67 Camaro for a 66 bug

Wow....I just realized I have done several of these......sad

My dad, an electrical guru, was out in the barn when I did it. I remember lights getting dim in the house, sparks and flames spewing out of the wall, and being knocked on my butt by the electrocution. He came running in...he knew exactly what was happening. Learned my lesson on that one....

It was only 25 amperes received on my end. Blew the breaker and done. Learned a lot about alternating current that day.

Buy the first Miata we looked at... $4200 for Miata... $4000 in repairs... still have at least $1500 in upgrades I want to do.

However when I'm done it will have all the parts I want on it, it should be like new and good for another 100K miles.

Wife bought the car for me with her inheritance... "I like this one"

Selling my mint 69 Z/28 Camaro because I did not haave room in the moving van. Then selling my other mint 69 Z/28, because I did'nt think there was a future in muscle cars. Dooooooooo.

Check why they put a ribbon on that wire around the cow pasture.

Ride a motorcycle through a snow storm.

Talked my city cousin into peeing on above mentioned ribbon.:eek:
Did not end well for me after my father found out who the "jackass" was that told cousin John that it's ok to hose that ribbon down. To my dad's credit, he did wait to beat my ass until after cousin Johnny's (pussy) obligatory ER visit.

...fool around with a drunk crazy girl that showed up at my dorm room in college. (Happened more than once.)

Check the gearbox oil level in a '72 Corvette while the front wheels were up on ramps. <dribble-dribble> "Gosh, this thing is overfilled. <3/4 of a quart pours out of the inspection hole> "Good thing I checked it." :confused:

About 100 miles later, the trans imploded.
