One time I was using a shovel like a bat to hit golf balls out into the woods. I hit a bird square on with one, killed it instantly. :eek:

Re: Post a Random Fact(s) About Yourself

I have a lot of fears, and take them head on. That's part of what I love about my job, why I used to ride bareback and saddle bronc and race stock cars and motorcycles, also why I joined SWAT.<br /><br />The ony fears I can't take on is a fear of getting hospitalized and being forced to use a bedpan.<br /><br />Used to be afraid of heights until I trained for fastroping and repeling rescues. Now just extremely nervous of high places.<br /><br />I smoked weed in high school and inhaled, now I am a narcotics officer.<br /><br />I have outran the cops many times in my younger years, been caught trying to run a few times. (all juvenile offenses) finally decided to stop running from them and join them.<br /><br />In my short 35 years of life I have been a farmer, cattle rancher (cowboy), mechanic, construction worker, demolition worker, fry cook, forklift operator, truck driver and a few others. Many of these jobs were second or third jobs. Now for 10 years been where I am now.<br /><br />I HATE living in town!!!

Re: Post a Random Fact(s) About Yourself

CN, Are we related or are we just SPECIAL. I was playing superman and flew from the sofa and landed on the coffee table and split my head open and one time I shot an arrow up in the air and the sun got in my eyes so I lost track of the arrow. I started running and the arrow stick in the ground about 3 feet in front of me. I can't believe the stupid stuff kids do.

Yeah, I'm quite surprised that I'm still alive. I ran my guardian angel ragged when I was a kid.<br /><br />spots

Re: Post a Random Fact(s) About Yourself

One time me and my friend went camping. My friend was driving his suburban, and we went up into the mountains down some abandoned forest service roads made up of rough gravel and dirt.<br /><br />About 20 miles down this road we found a good spot and got out.<br /><br />Psssssssssssssss...........<br /><br />What's that sound? Tire was leaking. Ok, no big deal, we have a spare. Start unloading the suburban (which was FULL of camping stuff) looking for the jack. My friend just got the suburban, didn't have a clue where it was. The manual pointed to where it's stored in a different trim level.<br /><br />So, tire was still leaking, couldn't find the jack. We decide to frantically reload the suburban and floor it 20 miles back to where the cell phone works. After that we calmed down, found the jack, changed the tire, and went back to the campsite. We picked a new spot about 30 miles from cell service.<br /><br />The next morning we wake up, "does that tire look low to you?"<br /><br />Yep. 'nother one was flat. We leave our camp set up, drive quickly to where the cell phone works and call a friend to bring us an air compressor. It was a slow leak in the second tire, and now we had a compressor, so again we went back.<br /><br />We park in some grass and my friend says "geez, the muffler must be hot, listen to the grass sizzle".<br /><br />No, that was a THIRD tire. Then a bunch of asterisks started flying out of our mouths.<br /><br />So, we turn on the air compressor, a slow little 12v POS, and again, frantically reload the suburban to get to where the cell phone works.<br /><br />While we're doing this we hear CLICK CLICK POP HISSSSSSSSSSSSSS!<br /><br />That was our compressor blowing up.<br /><br />Now we're exchanging flat tires with other tires that aren't quite as flat. We had to dig holes around and move huge bolders that were in the way of the jack.<br /><br />We slowly drive back to cell service ON THE RIM, get a ride back to my house. We go back up there with more compressors, tires, and tire plugs. As my friend was driving on the highway one of the tires that was flat blew out.<br /><br />Changed another tire, drove to the tire shop, spent alot of money, and went home. These were pretty new Goodyear tires.<br /><br />Wow, that turned into more of a story than a fact. :D Now you know why I always bring 2 compressors and a tire plug kit when I go camping. :p

Re: Post a Random Fact(s) About Yourself

See ZmOz you should of packed duct tape. You could of rolled some up and stuffed it in the hole of the tire..<br />Duct tape, that is how is done, baby..<br /><br />The same thing almost happened to me , but I was on newly graveled road and picked up a very sharp rock. My spare was flat, so I stuffed the hole with duct tape, before i lost all the air. Made it to some little store out in Kings Valley, Or. And filled it with the tire flat stuff.. It actually held for 2 days until I could get another tire in Albany.. <br />Lesson I learned was always check your spare, it may look pretty good, but looks are deceiving..

Re: Post a Random Fact(s) About Yourself

I was born and raised in the North Hillsborough, Pasco County area of Florida.<br />When I turned 16 years old I was a slightly above average 10 grade student and an Eagle Scout.<br />Six months later my parents got a divorce. Shortly after I dropped out of school. I lived in the woods and off of freinds.<br />As soon as I turned 17 I begged my father to sign me up in the Army. He did, and I forged my Moms.<br />I volunteered for Vietnam. I was in basic in the fall of '72 when Nixon was calling them back. Luckily I never went.<br />While in the Army and at home on leave I did absolutely crazy stuff. Got drunk, rode bulls, drove very fast cars, fought men much bigger than me, caught Alligators and Rattlesnakes, and totaled my Dad's Porsche.<br />A few months after my discharge and during my travels out West, I met my current and only wife, a California girl.<br />She was 17 and I was 20. That was a tiny bit over thirty years and three raised daughters ago.<br />She immediately calmed my ways and I turned into a workaholic for many years.<br />Today all is relaxed, and enjoyable. <br />I tell my wife how beautiful she is everyday.
