One of those days
I go out and I notice that it looks like someone has applied about one ounce
of C4 to my trailer tire. Tire is blown to bits, and fender is hanging by one bolt. Trailer has not been moved since last use, when I added air to a full load of firewood due to looking very low. I get into truck. The center console has a wooden tray that I and SWMBO uses for collection point for numerous (NUMEROUS!) items. It is orange. Upon closer examination, Police grade pepper spray canister (LARGE) has apparently discharged in the summer sun. Luckily, it was covered by lots and lots of free napkins from various fast food outlets. None got on interior of seats or roof! ( I consider this akin to winning the lottery in terms of odds.) So, people, watch tire pressure on parked vehicles in direct sunlight, and keep your pepper spray out of the sun. Steve PS: It wasted a good $20 leather Gall's belt holder. Ate it up. |

Yep, coke can with that familiar "cooked off" look: the can had bulged until the pop top failed. Sigh, messy. -- pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight.

One of those days
My GF thought it would be romantic to make the bedroom into something
like a disco hall. She cut open 4 Cyalume light sticks, and slung the contents around the whole room. OK, it was interesting, but the stuff is toxic, and it ate into the wood bed frame, wall paint and everything plastic. When I tried to wipe it off, the paint, top layer of plastic on the Toshibe 32" TV, My DVD recorder, etc came with it. Ruined everything. It was suposed to be a 'suprise', so I didn't know until she had already done it.

Trunk interiors are damned awkward to wash! LOL. My brother worked the graveyard shift in Minneso-cold, the winter it was Really Cold. ("Forty below keeps the riff-raff out.") Bundled up in the necessary moon suit, he'd turn the heat down, till a bottle in the stack near the window would break. "Ooops, need to boost the heat a bit." tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough! |
