CSH needed here too( entertainment only)

[Mike Rolica]

Speaking of snowmobiles.. My house is on a hill, well I had a yamaha gp433
losa power.  But it quit a the bottom of the hill, it too was hard to pull
over.  So I used a bungee cord around the throttle so I could pull with both
hands.  The motor caught and all I was left with was a pull cord.  The sled
launched off the top of the hill and the skis went through the garage door
about 3 feet above the ground.  Try explaining that one to dad :-)

	I wonder if this list attracts 'em.
	Working 'till wee hours of the morning restoring a 57 Chevy.
Started
	with right foot on clutch, thought she was in neutral, popped my
foot
	off the clutch.  Took out the grill and a workbench in a split
second.

	Same 57, again late at night, changed tb on the crossfire manifold. 
	Didn't see leaking injector O ring, backfire on startup.  Big deal,
	backfires all the time, keep cranking. "Hmm, maybe I should look
under
	the hood, just to make sure".  Emptied a fire extinguisher on that
	one.

	Put g/friend's car on twin post air powered hoist, lifted car and
	removed fuel tank.  Locked the front + rear post levers. Shop
	compressor output line needs valve replaced, so I'll drain the air
	tank and take care of that problem while I'm waiting for new fuel
	pump.  No shutoff between compressor and shop, and I forgot the
	ancient hoist leaks.  Turned around to find the front bumper's
resting
	on the ground, back of car 5 feet in air supported by gas tank on
	Jack.  Never did tell her how the front plate got scraped so bad.

	How about the winter I got to borrow an old Evinrude Snowmobile?  I
	was about 14, my buddy and I would take turns pulling the cord until
	it started.  Man that old engine had some serious compression, and I
	built up some real shoulder muscles 'cause it was a temperamental
	beast.  Farmer fell off his chair when I told him the story.  Seems
	there was this thing called a compression release valve on the
	cylinder head....

	I'm not going to mention the electric fence incident, 'cept to say I
	regretted taking the dare almost instantly.
