    I realized that when you fill your pontiac G6 up with diesel even thouth the nozzle on the pump is too big to fit into the filler neck and then you bring it to my dealership for me to fix the Exploded cylinder head from you extra stupid mistake, I will nick name you blue berry Larry.

    That Mark Twain said it all..."Experience is what allows you to recognoize a mistake when you make it again...", approximately.
     
  4. I have learned that everyone takes a different route to get to the same destination.
     
  5. I have learned that I have too many projects and can't afford all of them so I need to sell some (sigh!), that you can learn something everyday on the hamb and that we almost had a VPILF

    I learned that life keeps changing and my job will always be to try and stay ahead of the curve.
     
  7. I forgot that you must always...ALWAYS measure twice and cut once and since I didn't I also learned than I still have a pretty good arm judging by how far I heaved my tape measure this morning...
     
  8. I have learned that at 63, I have learned a lot of things, but cannot remember any of them that would do me any good. :confused:

    That there is no such thing as a garage big enough! Please tell my wife!
     
  10. I learned that the longer I am out of my garage the more I miss it. That place was my coccoon of sanity. When all of you get home from work tonight hug your garage!:D

    Don't trust jack stands someone else has placed, been off work since may when a forklift fell off stands in the shop and pinned me between it and another one and crushed my pelvis, I've only been walking since the end of august and go to therapy three times a week to build strength

    It is a good thing to just listen while wife is venting that her family has screwed and forgotten her birthday.

    Also that no matter how many times you remind yourself not to bump your head...you will.
    Wearing gloves when chopping the top...cause the cut metal will make you bleed.

    Red leaves of three....let them be.
    Steroids have quite the effect on strength.
    Never pull the frame off the jack stands onto the wife's foot.
    Also one must move faster to avoid frame falling on wife's foot:eek:

    Learned years ago that you can get up to 5 gallons of fluid inside a Chevy small block! Just to prove it we did it more then once....oh and 5 gallons of gas will burn with 5 quarts of oil in it, just smokes a little.

    For years I joked around about how my wife would be hitting menopause at the same time my daughter hit puberty.

    Turned out that is no joke, and its not funny either!

  28. I learned that if you try to use a CPAP machine when you have a sinus infection, you will feel like the thing is trying to inflate you!

    The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know shit. But at least I know what I don't know now. Huh? Yep.

  30. When trying to take shortcuts moving a car, go the longer safer route. 2 1/2 weeks off work 8 stitches in a finger and 2 visits to the plastic surgeons. Think safe....
