I have made tons of them and will until I retire.And thats when I stop breathing.
Anyway the one that sticks out the most and probably the most expensive
when I first topped out about 30 years ago.
My boss sent Myself and my helper to repair a air compressor at a factory.
It was a fairly long metal bldg. we drove into the parking lot and seen the air compressor sitting under a shed. attached to the Bldg.Everyone had been sent home. So my helper and myself decided the starter contacts where burned bad enough to replace the size 1 , 3 pole starter.We made the repair and bypassed the two wire control circuit which was used to turn the compressor on from inside.
Good run like a new singer sewing machine.There where a few other minor repairs to be made to the wiring .Took about a half a day running and all.
When we got back to the shop it was fairly late the office personnel had already gone home.I was so proud my first real job had gone so good.
The next morning when I opened the shop door all the laughter just stopped all at once I knew something wasn't right.
The boss came over to me and put his hand on my shoulder and said did you get that compressor fixed? I said yes. He said well that burned out about a year ago and was out of service. The one you where suppose to repair was at the rear of the Bldg. That was unforgetful.

i once watched this idiot nearly drill a hole through his gut w/ a 1" bit in the hole hawg. he was lazily hoisting it above his head to drill the top plates. while letting it 'flop' down out of the hole, it turned over in his hands and went straight down the front of his body rolling his shirt with it and ripping it clean off his back. it almost took his face off because it flipped in towards him. he was a true dumb dumb.
