Never Say Never

This morning in an adventurous mode I decided to try a homemade solution to provide support for my morning walk. I knew I had a "King Size" ace bandage in the bathroom and proceeded to wrap it around myself to see if this would work.

Lacking tape I found some safety pins, secured it and headed out. Three minutes later I was back home as it became very evident that a thunderstorm was about to roll in. Forty minutes later I decided to unwrap myself and guess what.... if you said, "Better be careful with those safety pins" you would be right on target.

The puncture was near the top of the bag so I decided, drum roll ........... to try to seal it with Duct Tape.

Sorry to say, it didn't work.

I later headed back out on a two mile walk thinking I knew how to read the weather map projected on the TV. With only a half mile back to home the sky opened up and buckets of rain smacked my hair challenged head. With little hair to absorb the drops it wasn't long before steams rolled down my face. Soaked to the skin, the dog shaking off the rain I finally stepped on the front porch of the house just as the last rain drops hit the ground.


Later......... Mike
