Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Well, yes, I have. The main thing is that you’re okay…as long as things don’t start yelling back…especially socks. Once they get an angry foothold you’re doomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that they are defenseless? Bob, Talking to inanimate objects is alright. Start worrying when it turns into a 2 way conversation.

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Been to the point of screaming a time or two!! Found myself frothing at the mouth once!! When that happened, I realized that I had passed the point of being useful that day and I took the rest of the day off and put in about 200 miles on my motorcycle!! I was laughing at my stupidity all afternoon!! Next day, the whole world was brighter and the object of my ire was easily repaired and worked perfectly!! Frustration can do things to yer head. Simple fixes that frustrate you can be truly maddening! Knowing when to walk away is essential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Harley has over 300,000 on it. Several repairs and two major rebuilds. Every minute on it makes me happy!! Not only that! It was my only transportation for several years!!

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I have a 16lb sledgehammer with the handle sawed off to about 16”. For years, I used it to do frame work and chassis repair on large trucks. It is great for swedging rivets and for places where there isn’t much room to swing! Over the years, other guys in the shop would clear out when I started cussing and hollering ‘cause they never knew what direction that hammer was liable to fly!! Once, a couple of them measured the distance from where I turned it loose to where it first hit the shop floor. It was over thirty-seven feet. I was laying on the floor on a creeper and flung it out the back door, swinging up to a sitting position while grabbing the frame of a truck with the other hand. Today, I probably couldn’t throw it fifteen feet, standing and taking a full swing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabez Cowboy I refuse to get old. I have found that one of the quickest ways to get old is hang around old people. So I don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
