Roger that. I'm not taking any more chances with the insecticides or anything else for that matter.
Not even with the lawn fertilizer and that is a very different story. I won't get into the details leading up to this dubious and ill-fated attempt at lawn and garden care, but the net result was an enormous round burn mark in the weeded area that lasted for a very long time....
Looked like a miniature version of a daisy cutter made LZ in Nam.
Safe to say, I contract the weed and feed stuff out now. Got Ants? Call Orkin.
Don't even get me started about using ladders to the third story. Scary s^&&*. When that ladder suddenly slides left and dangles off the gutter that scares the daylights out of you if you happen to be on that ladder. Forget a rollercoaster, if you want to get the poop scared out of you, run a ladder up to the top of your house and take a look at the roof if you are bored. FYI, that horn hook stabilizer bar does not always stay in place. Trust me. Been there.
No sirrey Bob, no more chances. I remind myself of that Irish guy in the Guinness Book of World Records that some people TRIED to kill back in the Great Depression to get some life insurance money. They fed him gas or other petroleum products in lieu of beer, metal filings in his sandwich, etc. I think they eventually just shot him or something. Can't remember the exact story. Check it out.
Yes, I am lucky to still be standing. One of my purposes on this earth is to vote for Bush and Cheney in November. The Good Lord will keep me around for that at least, I am certain.
I have some pretty funny and harrowing near-miss jack#// stories, if properly told will make you spit your coffee on your monitor. All true.
Are there yet any repair tools with which you have NOT attempted to leave this earth early?
I admire both your persistence and resilience, especially in the face of malignant maintenance implements.
BTW, have you any other "unusual" abilities? :-)
