Goofs & Blunders You Should Avoid.

[george wilson]

Back when I was in about the 2nd grade,I walked daily past a pasture of cows inside an electric fence. I must have leaned on that fence about 3 times,and got a BIGGGG jolt before I remembered to not lean on it while looking at the cows!!!

There was a bull in a pen across the road from the cows. He was very friendly to me(At least it seemed to be so while I was pulling up grass and feeding it to him. I never got INTO his pen!!!) One day the men were running about pretty alarmed because that VICIOUS BULL had gotten loose!!

Did someone delete MY goof?

My Hardinge HLVH starts up at 3000 RPM in a half second or so. Forward and reverse are buttons down on the cabinet. For some reason I had reversed the lathe. I started the lathe up without looking at it starting,and using a collet to hold the brass rod I was working on. For some reason my tool would not cut. Then,I found out I had left the lathe in reverse!! Give me a chance to learn. I have only been using that lathe since the late 80's!!

I've done the same thing so many times. A few times I ended up regrinding the tool and checking center before I figured it out.

I wish someone would delete a few of mine!

I've lost count of the times I've used an edge finder, and forgotten to add the offset.

I'll learn one day.

Don't put your retirement money into any fund that charges 2% or more per year.

better yet don't put money in a retirement fund.

I've learned so much from my mistakes. I'm thinking of making some more.

A smart man learns from his mistakes; a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

This philosophy leads to "lurking" on internet forums....

dont listen for the gas at the tig nozzle when you have a high frequency start.
