STUPID!

[BILL WILLIAMSON]

When I bought Minerva, her carb DRIBBLED, everywhere ! The seller sed, "I DON'T know why my tank is always EMPTY"? The benefit was a SUPER SHINY CLEAN TANK!
Friend, Chuck, gave me a gasket kit. When I removed the through bolt to remove the bowl, I sed, "NO wonder it leaked, sumone used a LOCK washer"!!--At least, it wuzn't drilled fur a KOTTER KEY!-- Couldn't find a COPPER washer, TIGHTENED everything & it QUIT leaking, YEA!
ANY of you want to CONFESS to STUPID things you've DONE????

I have 2 "NEW ENGLAND" brand, weight driven clocks. I stopped one, when Pat passed & the other one, when Gregg passed.

Bill, I have done way too many stupid things to list here. One nearly burnt down a friends garage 32 years ago. Not really Model A related, but stock car related. Hard to beleive at 46 that I have been bending wrenches that long. Rod

I hate to admit this but I once installed new ceiling lights in my garage and i forgot to measure the garage door clearance and, you guessed it, The first time i hit the opener button the door chopped of the new lights I just put in! Bummer. I thought about all the important things like dedicated circuits and etc but forgot about the obvious.

About 6 months ago I backed a pick up with a very tall camper type back through the shop door. The door needed to be up another 6"

I try really really really really try hard to not be stupid. Now, don't get me wrong, I am by no means perfect, but I actually can't remember the last time I was really stupid, so I will need to ponder this question more before posting my stupidity.

Actually, it just dawned on me the last stupid thing I did. While riding the motorcycle cross country, I got so settled into the seat that when I pulled up to a stop sign, I forgot to put my feet down. Since I know how to properly pick them back up, it was only really embarrassing until the folks behind me stared in amazement at how easily I uprighted the 800#+ Kawasaki ZN1300.

When I was driving daily, I could stop and not use my feet on purpose! I had a kid rearend me in my truck, had to finally give up riding :-(

Had to think hard( there I go again)
Adjusted steering gear box making it right. When for a test ride, and thinking why is the idle off, why is it running bad? Limped home and someone forgot to tighten up the column clamp ( dummy me)
Practice practice practice :-)
