Stupid Things we did in the past

I once carried a 6 cyl Jag XK 120 cast iron block into a house from the pickup truck by myself. Just to show I could do it. It was not even mine.

I once hooked up a can of R12 to the AC system on a car backwards. I was lucky enough to notice that it was getting hot instead of cold and it did not explode in my face. Very lucky.

I once put a 1964 Lincoln onto four bottle jacks and got under it... it was wobbly needless to say and I got out from under it fast... I deservedly had nightmares about that for a while.

After making it though my tour in Vietnam as a Huey Slick pilot without taking any rounds... I decided flying a helicopter here in the US was too dangerous due to the wires and towers all over the place.. so I spent the next ten years riding motorcycles... DUH !!!!
