That's pretty funny, sounds like my luck. Which is hurt more the pride or the body?

Call me twisted but I really did laugh out loud when I read that. Still laughing as I type this. I've seen it happen before so I can picture it pretty well in my head.

You think that was funny? Ask me about driving the lawnmower into a swimming pool. I was trying to get out of the rain.

Glad you're alright. I totally understand about the mosquitoes as there is plenty of them in Florida. Every time it rains they come out in abundance to feed. I always get attacked....maybe it's because I taste like bacon.

Hahaha, sounds like "fun"!

I was going to tell you to be careful because bad things usually happen in threes! Then you mentioned the lawn mower incident. Your safe!

You can't just leave one like that hanging open. I've done some doosies in my time, but that one just sounds like it takes the cake!

LAWN MOWER STORY: I have a Snapper rider that is a 5 speed you change manually. I was mowing for a friend and a violent thunderstorm was popping up and I didn't want to get soaked or zapped so I let off the blades and put it in fifth (fastest) gear. They have a covered deck area between the house and pool. I had to drive between a parked car on the left and a retaining wall on the right.
I made it between the obstacles and pushed in the clutch/brake to stop. I turned the wheels hard right to get undercover, forgot I was in fifth gear, let off the clutch brake, and the front wheels came off the ground and guess where I was heading in a straight line.
The front wheels finally came down and one of them was already over the edge of the pool and that sucker was still in fifth gear! We sank slowly to the bottom of the shallow end. The last thing I thought about before I went in was to hold my breath and hope for lightning to strike.
The homeowner freaked, jumped in the pool and started struggling to get the mower out because it is a VINYL LINED POOL THAT I HELPED THEM INSTALL! I pushed from the back where the engine and all of the weight is on a Snapper. I changed the oil, put on a new gas and air filter, and she runs like a top.
Aftermath: ruined cell phone, my S&W model 38 bodyguard was fine, the soaked ammo fired the next day, ego destroyed and my wife sent me two balloons tied to a snorkel and mask at work the next day. My back was never the same because I was already hurting from picking my late father up so many times (dementia). No pictures no video. To think, I still buy lottery tickets.
