He elected to lay on top of it... even during a rainstorm. 🙄 I installed a washer and dryer once, tested it and everything seemed to work fine.....so I went to scoot it into it's "slot" and when the dryer touched the washer it was like fireworks (sparks flew everywhere)😲 I called a handyman buddy and he came and straightened it out. When done he said "Well Glen, you only did ONE thing wrong.......You touched it in the first place !". fshndoug, snagged in outlet 3 and Phil Lilley 1 2

I'm totally open and honest about all the things I either suck at, or know absolutely nothing about. For instance: I'm so skilled at carpentry and household electrical stuff that I know to NEVER EVEN TOUCH IT. 🙂 Sorry if I come across as a know-it-all, but it isn't my fault that you've been alive longer than me and can't pour piss out of a boot. Says you!! 😂 fishinwrench 1

At the bike shop whenever someone brought in a bike they “worked on” first, it almost always cost more than if they had just brought it in initially. This was pre Al Gore internet. Now you could fix most everything yourself with YouTube unless you needed a specialized tool.
