Daily Dumb. Can You Beat It?

I hope you are okay, we have not heard from you in 6 months.

This week: I ripped a sheet of plywood into 5 pieces, 2 sides, one back piece, and 2 shelves to make a cheap "bookcase" out of what was scrap, then proceeded to screw one piece to the wrong side of the "bookcase". Confused, I unscrewed it, cut it down a couple inches, reattached it.

...
Only to find out now my project is the wrong dimensions and the shelves no longer fit. 🤬🤦

Did an oil change on the Trek Saturday, the cabin air filter followed by tire rotation. New oil filter and filled the engine with new oil, good to go. Monday afternoon, picked kids up from daycare and smelled oil... parked in the garage and saw smoke... Genius me forgot to put the oil fill cap back on 🙄. Luckily it was only 5 miles round trip, checked oil level and all was good AND cap was still in the engine bay. Spent 30 mins cleaning oil off EVERYTHING.

Well that is not too bad. It could be a lot worse. Thank you for your service for our country (the USMC cap)

I do some dumb stuff but so far this week you are ahead of me. I forget all the dumb stuff I've done lately but what you did sounds exactly like something I'm also capable of.

Trashing my hands on old dry lumber with my gloves sitting right next to me and sometimes even under foot.

Today I reminded the little leaguers on my baseball team to always make sure the person you are throwing to is ready. Said it several times. Then during the game I threw the ball to another coach when he wasn’t ready.

My Daddy used to say: If your brain don't work your feet will. My brain still don't work sometimes and he passed away a while ago... but I can still here him every time my feet work.

I have been adding some feeding doors to the back of our horse barn and was cutting through 2-2x8s to make the door. I quickly discovered the lack of rigid support for the 2-2x8s. I guess that is why I have a hi-lift jack. Expect nothing less from a Puddle Pirate.

Had to share …a long time ago when I worked for the phone company I was running inside wire for a new phone installation. The lady of the hose wanted it in her sitting room and I need to make a small hole level with the baseboard beside the french doors… now had I looked on the other side of the doors I would have noticed how close the drapes were to the door frame.

In those days we used a long brace and bit to make holes and as I proceeded to finish I felt a little resistance, but I was undaunted and continued to complete the task at hand…then I thought I would see if I came through at the correct sport only to find I had wound the drape around my drill and pulled it from the road…big duh moment

The customer was very understanding and once unwound probably just needed ironing

You have me beat so far this week LOL. J & C

It’s not a dumb, you just backed into smart!

You can never have too many 2x4s. At least my dad can't, anyway.

Sun block! Here in the UK I'm still wearing two pairs of underpants to keep my boys from freezing.

How much time have you lost looking for either a) the tape hanging on your hip pocket b) the ear pro hanging over the handle of the miter saw or c) the safety glasses sitting on top of your bleeping head. And don’t get me started on the time lost looking for keys, pencils, notes or drawings. Bet I can top you as I’ve got more years doing it.

Yes I absolutely beat this daily dumb challenge

Let's see oh yeah, watch this video😂

Years ago when the Mustang Ranch in Nevada, a well-known broth el, was unable to meet its tax obligation, the IRS seized it.

Newcomers and regulars alike were met by a sign on the locked gate. It read:

“Beat it.”
