We were just a couple of teenage punks roamin' around the neighborhood, bored and looking for something to keep us entertained. Between my friends house and his neighbors house was an empty lot were a previous dwelling stood. The only thing remaining was the 6 inch stanpipe from the septic which hid the empty tank below ground level. Being young and curious about fire, we began dropping lit matches down the standpipe to see what could possibly be located below this hole in the ground. Well the sun was starting to set, those darn little stick matches just wouldn't give us a flicker of hope to see what the heck could be down there.

AH HA a brainstorm. Lets get some dead leaves that were blowing in the wind on that cool October night. A handful of crunchy leaves and a few matches later would only give us but a few seconds of light down the dark abyss.

By this time night was begining upon us when my buddy decides it's time for a little more flammable material. From his garage with wild beastlike eyes, he bound across the lot with a jarfull of gasoline.

The few baincells I had left in my meager brain, told me it was time to vacate the premises. As I began to run for the safety of home, the flames shot up that standpipe like a civil war cannon at the battle of Bunker Hill. For a few seconds the once black neighborhood lit up a yellow and orange hue, brighter than any Fourth of July celebration to be seen.

Cowering under the my bedcovers I trembled, waiting to hear my fathers footsteps come down the hallway........there was nothing but silence........

The next day's bus ride to school, I glanced over at my buddy, his eyebrows were gone and his new hair do was as short as I ever seen............."WOW ...What happened to you?" I smirked

Lisa, trust me, Mrs. Boilerguy could write a novel about the dumb stuff I've pulled, just this week.

And here we go:

When I was but a skinny lad, my mom and dad went out one night. This was rare. My older brother and my cousin and myself stood in the big picture window and mooned the cars that drove by. Well, my mom and dad drove by......and we mooned them. Mom says after they turned around to come yell at us they had to pull over and stop laughing first.

In high school I built an air boat out of a jon boat in metals class. One day while out in the swamp I decided to use a muskrat hut as a ramp to see how much air I could catch. That didn't go over well and I miss my air boat.

As a teenager I once told my dad to shut up. Nuff said.

While in high school I ran a trap line. One time I set off a 220 coniber on my hand, on purpose, just to see if it hurt. It does.

We used to hang from the bottom of a train bridge that crossed the St. Croix river. When the train came over the last guy that could actually hang on was "The MAN!!!"

The list could go on forever. grin.gif

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
