I have to tell you about my neighbor Les. He is a great guy but knows nothing about anything. Here is a quick couple of stores that I feel you all will love.
1) Chain saw: I come home from a hard day's work and Las is waiting by at door to talk to me about his chain-saw that won't start. Okay, I get inside, and come out to look at the saw. Everything seems fine, but the self primer ball won't work. Hamm. Let look at the fuel level, "no he replies, it all full, did it myself". Well lets look anyway, it's all RED!!!! come to find out Las put "Bar oil in the tank" flush it out, all works fine..
2) Bradded lines: well as we all know in auto shop 101 bradded lines look cool, well Las decided that these would look good on his 85 hot rod. As I walk into his garage I see that the battery is being done as well. Well as I see him putting the "+" to ground I say "hey, that might not be the hot set up" after about 15 min of telling him why the positive batter terminal should not have bradded line on it, he didn't do it.
3) the smoker:
Okay, monkey see, monkey do! I buy this smoker and smoke so beef and fish on it. Being a good neighbor I give Las and his family some food. (they have done this for me all year long). His wife loves it. Las finds a smoke at a yard sale and buy's it. However, it electric! Las wants charcoal. So we convert it.
No big problem. (yet) well as things go, he wants more heat.. As we all do, he starts to put more lighter fuel on the coals. Nothing happens. (for about 2 min.) then BOOOOOOM!!! It blows the cover off and burns the Turkey hes trying to smoke! and almost burn the house down.
If you could only hear his wife yelling his name. "LeeeeeeeeeS! Priceless!
I feel we have someone in our life like this. tell me about your "Las"!
