The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

More of interest, to me at least, was some of the reactions from other posters.
C'mon, the guy was really doing everyone a service - pointing out a "stupid" thing he did in the hopes that no one else would make the same mistake. And, these posters are going to put him down on this? Having made my share of stupid moves in the past - which thankfully I survived unscathed, for the most part, I'd like to think I could pass on some advice without being labeled an idiot. If that's not the case, I wish everyone who is so superior, the joy of finding out first hand, the hard lessons I've learned. Good post, Lars. - Jack

Yes,
He fessed up to his mistake. The other "superior?" posters in the thread should have learn from this and some of them should have put aside their ego's and at the very least offered some sympathy. Alls I can add is that in all my years experience with chain driven vehicles it a good idea to either have a spare or to manually clean by hand only. Oh when I seen this post the memories of when I broke both my hands and some fingers when I was 16. This memory came rushing back. I was blazing a trail through the woods on a motocross bike going faster than what I should have thought I could make it through 2 trees but they were closer than what I thought. Lars

It's amazing how close you can come to dying, without actually crossing the line.
About four years ago, I was trying to climb a wall of boulders at the head of one of the canyons near here. I slipped, fell and beat a rock to death with my head. The blood just poured all over me. It didn't really hurt too much, but I suddenly realized just how close I'd come to something far more serious. - Jack |
