I seem to do boneheaded stuff all the time with cabling. Missing guides, ferrules, and/or all manor of installing stuff in the wrong order but not realizing it until I have cinched down the fixing bolt and can't get the dang thing to shift right.:rolleyes:

Oh! and that one time I cranked on the crank arm remover so hard it pulled the threads out of the crank arm. Huh, I wonder why... Oh, forgot to remove the crank arm bolt.

There is also the classic installing the crank arms so that they both point the same way. It's gonna be a little difficult to pedal that way...

That sounds potentially life-altering (depending on what these "places" were). :eek:

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one, but I have to admit I just got off a 72 hour shift at work with little sleep. I probably shouldn't have been working on bikes, or anything.

For some reason, the Resolve brand laundry stain remover spray and the Resolve brand carpet stain remover spray are both in the same cabinet in my basement. I can tell you from experience that the carpet spray does a lousy job on stains on my shirts...

My bonehead stunt of the week was, fortunately, a near-miss. I rode up to a stop sign at a t-intersection, did a mini track stand, looked both ways, all clear, and started to go. Then I heard a familiar sound of fast-moving carbon fiber, so I stopped. Almost got t-boned by a ninja rider in all-black kit on an all-black bike coming fast in the shade under the big trees. It would have been my fault. Glad it ended ok.

After a long day of driving with our two small children we made camp and I prepared a quick pasta dinner for us. It wasn't until my son took his first ravenous bite that we discovered that I had cooked the jar of hot salsa instead of the jar of pasta sauce with mushrooms... That was over twenty years ago and the family still likes to bring up the subject whenever I'm cooking pasta with tomato sauce!
