Over the past 6 months I’ve done some things that might be classified as “senior moments” but I prefer to use the excuse that I’ve had too many things running through my head trying to keep up with the construction project and sub contractors.
The first occurred when I was sitting in the stall in the Walmart restroom and heard women talking at the sink! Yes that was interesting planning my exit from the women’s restroom so I wouldn’t get arrested or put on a pervert list!
Then I was at Menards getting supplies and decided to park in the rear “yard” since I needed to load up some stuff out there. Problem was after checking out I forgot I had parked out there and spent 10 minutes wandering around the front lot hitting the button on my key ring trying to find my car.
The most recent was during the week of framing when I get a bad dose of poison ivy or poison something all over my ankles from the vacant lot next door where we were staging the wood and materials. I would get up every morning and spread hydrocortisone cream all over before I started the day. Well one morning I was up at 5:00 a.m.,, trying to stay ahead of my Amish crew, and as I was putting on my shoes realized I had spread toothpaste, not hydrocortisone, all over my ankles. In my defense both tubes were identical in size and both creams were white!
So now you can see why I am not comfortable working around electricity. As hair brained as I have been lately Lord only knows what I could do to myself.
When my buddy Loren was helping me wire things last week we were (4) switches short on supplies so I had to wire them this weekend. The tricky part was that they were (3) way switches which get more complicated. I managed to get them wired but not until I zapped myself twice and tripped the breaker about (3) times because I had them wired incorrectly. Glad all that is behind me!
