Our Date Night...

RO-GB-

Well it looks like y'all had a better weekend than I did. I almost killed myself with a garden tiller this weekend. I wish I had it on tape cause it would have been funny to see.

OK, LL do we have to beg for the story????

OK, I'll bite - How does one inflict a tiller on one's self (absent the wear & tear on the back)? Tilling up a 70% grade?

The tiller is was using is one of those big commercial TroyBilt ones. I was tilling up a flower bed in the yard and hit a big root or something and it threw me across the yard and crashed into a bush.

But the job eventually got done and the neighbors and their guests had a good laugh at my expense.

Sounds like you had a pretty tight grip on that thing

Yeah, that was one of those situations where you just turn it off and quietly tiptoe away.

Ouch! Take any dings to your self? (other than to your manly pride ;-) ).
Probably best that there wasn't vid running - probably would have had to censor the audio. :shock:

Sombody snapped a pix of me, back in college days, maybe 2nd time up on skis. Halfway through a fairly hot turn, I lost the outside board, was just turning loose when I lost the other one. Caught two frames of me "walking on water". (Wish I had asked for a copy of that) Had to put up with new nickname of "JC" for a couple of months...
