It took decades to civilize me.......

Freddie,

I thought that was a work still in progress.

One of my more fond "Safe practice" memories involves flipping a car hood upside down, welding a chain to it and attaching it to the back of a pickup. There were not any hills in Nebraska where I grew up and we had to go sledding somehow. Racing pickups up the frozen river in the winter was also a dandy sport.

Joe,

Have you seen the video clip of Texas ditch surfing? If not and I can dig it up I will send it to you. It is something along the lines of what we used to do but without the surf boards as we just had old planks we cut and did it on snow.

Yea I have seen that. We did not stand on the hood though. We sat, not quite as crazy as that.

I wear a full-face helmet while using power tools in the garage so I can't drink and smoke until after I use the tools. Usually while cleaning up the pieces with brake clean. I don't advise running around the house with scissors but they work real well in getting out the thicker ear wax.

So does a drill with a very small bit but you have to have a steady hand and not go to far in. I normally just use some peroxide and let it soak for a few seconds and then use the Q-Tip.
