Spent half an hour then cleaning up the pile of nail-end boards that was next to my ladder, bending over the nails and tossing them away. Went up the ladder, cut out my piece, came down, got 2 steps from the bottom and hopped off....right onto that nail I had sunk into the piece which fell right at the base of my ladder tip up... At least I had the sense to keep a first aid kit in the truck....Murphy was laughing his arse off that day.

Probably the worst thing I did with automotive stuff was to get under a 69 Chevy on a creeper, with a crowbar, and try to pry-lift the cab off of the trans crossmember bolts to get the member out. (the cab mounts were beyond toasted). Needless to say the crowbar of course slipped off and split my lip wide open against my teeth....
