Believe me when I say misadventures of a mechanical nature have always been my pratfall.
I once grabbed the muffler of my car after driving 20 minutes because I heard a rattle and thought a muffler bracket was loose.
First time I ever used a riding lawnmower the blade drive belt kept coming off. Probably was stretched out over time. I got off the mower. Turned it over replaced the belt. Immediately turned the mower back over and attempted to crank it. Evidently, gas had leaked near the sparkplug. It blew up!:eek I walked around for a few weeks with no eyebrows, eyelashes or body hair on any part of my body not covered at that instant. :nod::willy_nilly:
eekeekeek:eekwow...
next time just leave it with the experts....I learned my lesson...
These stories make me feel better - I thought I was the only one that was banned from going anywhere near sharp objects 
not even close..and since I inherited my fathers gene of stupidity when it comes to mechanics....no one is safeThese stories make me feel better - I thought I was the only one that was banned from going anywhere near sharp objects
