Re: The Idiot of the month award.
I try to pace myself and do a little everyday instead of one show stopper. I never win but I always feel as though the judges aren't paying attention to detail.

Now I'm laughing thats funny, hope you got out of the snow and back inside to warm house OK.
I remember a long time ago getting into a wrestling match with my Black Lab at the time. I was lying on the bed and he came walking buy with my sweatshirt in his mouth , so naturally I reached out and grabbed it. He wasn't about to let go, he dug his front paws in,back end up in the air and he started shaking and yanking and backing up. Well hey I'm 6ft 230 and no dog is gonna beat me. WRONG!!! he just kept tugging and backing up ,pullling me off the bed on to the floor and across the bedroom floor. I'm laughing so hard the tears rolling down my face, I just could not hang on any more the dang dog won.

My magnet fiasco was last month or I would have had you! On top of that my basement flooded when my well froze ON, and my wife ran into my shop with the car. I am really glad its a new month and you are taking over!
Congratulations!

I was the Monthly Winner a few years back. I had about a dozen cans of spray paint up on the top of a metal storage rack in my basement. You know, up on the top shelf that you put seldom used items -- like spray paint cans in the winter.
I bumped the rack, a can of paint tumbled down, and hit the corner of my wooden benchtop. Punched the perfectly-sized hole to shoot a big stream of paint out. Worse, the can spun around from the jet stream of paint, spraying workbench, floor, and a bunch of aluminum bar clamps. The happy part of the story is that these were Harbor Freight clamps. I would have cried of they were my Bessey clamps. The concrete floor and workbench cleaned up pretty easily.
I'm entering my son-in-law. He came over this afternoon to "help" me buck up a grove of 70'+ Alder trees that I had dropped this morning. Within 30 minutes he had his saw out and proceeded to drop the last one on his fancy new Lexis (still has paper plates on it). Not "kind of grazed", he landed the sucker dead nuts on the top of the vechicle. Please understand that the car was 180 degrees in the opposite direction that the tree was supposed to fall.
Larry - in retrospect, we probably should have retired the award after your Feb experiences. The story about your wife still cracks me up - not your garage so much, but the conversation in the body shop later that day that sealed the deal.
Since we can't retire it, I think we should name it after you: The Idiot of the Month Edgerton = TIME Award. I think you're gonna wear this one, brudda.........
Good question, brudda - that rat b****** has taken the peanut butter two night in a row without tripping the trap. Ima thinkin it is not a rat, just a field mouse that is not heavy enough to spring it, Might need a smaller hammer for this nail.............
Good point, Lee. As an update - a few minutes ago, I found a few shards of pen casing on the floor of the shop 20' away from the scene of the crime...and ink splotches on the bench and TS surfaces between the crime scene and those pieces.
This is still too funny. For me, at least. Hope I provided some slapstick humor to the rest of youse guys.
