What have you learned today?

[unclejpl4x4]

I learned that I am the laziest human on the plant.  

I disagre

Im the laziest

I learned that I am the laziest human on the plant.   

Do you think you're lazy because you're...smoking the plant?

sliding down the fire pole at 1am with only socks on the feet is a bad idea, you get to the bottom VERY quickly

Please, please, please...clarify, for my mental well being. You weren't just wearing socks were you? If not, I think this belongs in the (Ultimate) bat wing thread!



I have to go soak my minds eye in bleach right NOW!

I knew that would come up, so I tried to word it carefully, but apparently I failed.  No, I had socks on my feet, and also was wearing shorts and a t-shirt (and yes, I had underwear on)

[unclejpl4x4]

well if he was just waring socks and no Pjs    he would of went down the pole slow the sac would of wraped around the pole and caused friction   unless he was lube   the fire fighter  people have strange  rituals

Thank goodness!

'cause even as I was bleaching my eyes...I felt sorry for you.

That would be terrible.  As the dry skin sticks to the pole whilst gravity takes you down, you look up only to find your taint smeared down the side. 


   sorry i couldn't help it. 

[JanMarie13]

Oh good god, page 2 went terribly, terribly wrong! 


Today I learned that the lady who sings my favorite song right now (Johnny and June) is Heidi Newfield.

Although, the dry skin particles sticking to the pole did happen, I now have burns on both arms.    

I use my boot sole to control my spped, and as soon as my body realized the smooth woven fabric of my comfy wool socks wasn't going to create the same amount of friction, my body went into emergency recovery, and clamped down hard with my arms.  Alas, just soon enough to keep me from splatting, but not soon enough for me to not discover that hitting the floor from the second story at a decent rate of speed hurts!

Hey, that's a valuable learning lesson.

Ouch.  I did that once.  (though not as a fire man  )

kinda sorta, but I forgot to put my shoes on like I should have.  Sometimes its hard to remember things when you're woken up and required to get moving or get left behind

I learned that Mercedes are a pregnant dog. Broke my drop-in wrench on one today.

I also learned that the people at Autozone don't know what a drop-in filter is.

I also learned that Sears doesn't know what one is either.

I also learned that Sears had a cool little tool that I was able to remove the drop-in cap with.

I also learned that the cool little tool that I was able to remove the drop-in cap with will remove stuff but is not reversible so I couldn't put the cap back with it.

I also learned that Autozone has the drop-in wrench but didn't know they had it.

Now I can understand Autozone not knowing what I was talking about since they only sell parts, but I went to the service dept. of Sears and they had no clue as to what I was looking for. As I walked out the front door of Sears I asked them if they did oil changes, I got a funny look at that point don't know if they were serious or not but as the door was closing I said "Guess not since you don't know what a drop-in filter is".

[Wermz84]

I don't know what one is either and I change the oil in my 22r all the time.  So where does that leave me? 

[JanMarie13]

Already today I have learned that Rocksurfer's word-of-the-day for yesterday was "drop-in." 

[Rocksurfer]

A drop-in has its own container, it is just the element there is no can around it.


Todays word is @#$%#@^!

[unclejpl4x4]

I learned 2 day that a improperly adjusted govern on a 18hp kaw  will over rev and blow the plastic cooling fan in little pieces and rip threw the cover.

[KDXSR5]

I learned that a lawn tractor with a rear diff lock is an awesome wheeling machine until the

@#$%#@^!

( ) deck gets caught on every little thing stopping all forward momentum and getting the tractor REALLY stuck



I also learned that replacing the bent blades caused by getting tractor stuck on them while attempting to wheel it sucks a lot... dropping the deck by yourself is no fun task and putting it back on sucks even more

[unclejpl4x4]

thats why we have rolling chain hoists  in te shop

[KDXSR5]

I have one of THESE and it is FUN, not as fun as my dads 4wd kubota, but fun none the less.

I learned that i don't like it when I see the kid i work with driving my tractor into a wall "just to see what it would do"

[ajordan1975]

i learned nothing today... 

[jrock]

Arundo donax is a "girl dog" to cut down.

[unclejpl4x4]

I worked on a small mower that size " kubota" it had a diesel in it and 4 wheel steer and a full frame

I learned what a drop-in is.  And that RS is very passionate about it. 

[Tice]

I learned that Dimerol(sp) works well on tooth aches!!!! But not so well for staying awake!!!

[BikerTrash]

Norriseal 1001A Level controllers are worthless. Stayed up till 10pm working on separators at work. Got my shower and was to bed for a quarter to 11. then the entire platform shut in again  at 15 past midnight because one stupid level controller did not call for a vent scrubber to dump.

Long live Fisher Controls.

[Rocksurfer]

I learned that my alternator quit working on the way home tonight.
