'member the "don't ask how I know this" thread?

Do not turn on the oven then answer the doorbell and go back and light a match close to the oven...you CAN ask me how I know, but that was 30 years ago and my facial hair has grown back. I figgure my glasses saved my eyeballs.

Floyd, now that brings back (painful) memories.  I did almost the same thing.  Set the old oven to preheat.  Lit  the pilot and went to take a shower.  Seems the flame did not go down the little tube as it should.  I came back and opened the oven door.  Now the flame goes down the tube.  There were two explosions.  One when the oven went off, and one when the right guard under my left arm went off.  Had to call off my date, smelled like burning hair for weeks.  

On the grimmer side, an old friend was carrying a empty 5 gal gas can on the back of the tractor brush hogging. The can fell off and got shredded by the mower. The resulting explosion threw the brush hog back on top of the tractor breaking the guys neck and setting the whole mess on fire.

I have replaced several side hoods on 7000 series tractors
for customers. They had taken the hood off and leaned it
against the rear tractor tire and then.....
The side hoods don't come out so good after you run
them over.

We were heading across the Andes of Peru, and before departing we decided to check the cables on the electric winch on the old Bronco we were using.  Some wires looked a bit rough, so got out a good Swiss army knige and did soem cleanup. 

When working on silo unloaders always account for all of your tools before you turn it on.

Run over a new  Case knife  that i was cutting fert bags with and broke pretty bone handles.

Don't park an L2 with a 6 row corn head face the broad side of your WD while on a hill even if you have locked the brakes and even if it's only about 4 feet between the tractor and combine. It results in two extra holes in one rear tractor tire, a bent and broken corn snout and a tractor sitting at about a 40 degree angle. Don't ask me how I know this.

Another one. Just because you hear a strange dog barking at 10 PM outside your house doesn't mean you automatically grab the gun and step outside to fire one in the air. It could result in the sound of horse hooves gallopping, then the sound of steer hooves gallopping then the sound of fence wire stretching and then a midnight tour of the neighborhood. In that order. Don' ask me how I know this.

Lonn, methinks you should have fired into the dog instead of into the air, then the dang dog would not have chased the horses & steers thru the fence! That is what happened, right??...Harvey

Well -- you guys are making me feel a lot better - thought I must be the only one who could do such things -- LOL.

A Bush hog and a 100' garden hose do not mix! Don't ask me how I know this!

Check the bucket before scooping  load of corn into the feed grinder. You never know, you may have left a chain in it.

I think this theme has caused a lot of us to feel better...?and some of feel worse? : )
