lever and engaged it...
i was super fortunate to not spend much time
outside doing a number of chores begging me to do them...

because when i came in the friggan bell was going ding ding ding
on the toaster and it was just about to start the house on fire
because it wouldn't shut off.....
DOH !!!! that was close...
You trying to compete with my exploits last year???
My many near disasters !!!!!!

Glad you found it in time.

Have one more for ya. I was mowing mom's lawn last weekend and I smell smoke like someone burning leaves. I know her neighbor is moveing soon so maybe its him. But in Quincy its a no no. So I keep working, a while later I see smoke coming from under his porch through the lattice. I take a walk over and see the lattice is on fire and growing quickly. I zip around his side yard and get the hose and extinguish the fire. Rang his bell and showed him what happened, we still don't know how it could have started. He was busy inside packing and does'nt smoke either. He's been a great neighbor and was quite thankful. chaulk up another one for Mr. LUCKY.....

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
