Shovel / Rake / Wheel Barrel Handle Cushion - Mini Pad

Men, if you live with a female, this application will definitely make you feel better by the end of the day.



All females think they have the right to come up with some hard labor project for us men to do on our days off of work. They think of it as though they're doing us a favor. It always falls on our shoulders to complete this wonderful idea she thought up duing the week without asking for your input until she knows exactly what she wants. Then she drops it on you.



Now if you don't go along with this "great" idea of hers, don't plan on getting any action for a while. Know this going into the discussion, ok?



So, once you have agreed with her plans for you for the next couple of days, do what I did, smile and get prepared.



One weekend my girlfriend at the time came up with this great idea to re-landscape the entire backyard before her daughter's graduation party which was to be held in 3 weeks. Ok guys, what do you think I did? You got it. I smiled and asked, "When do we start this great project honey?" She stated, "This week. I'm going to order 18 yards of top soil and 16 yards of mulch."



Now my girlfriend wouldn't be able to help with all this shoveling because she didn't have a full use of one of her arms which I pointed out to her. She spun this fact into a positive, by commenting on what great shape I would be in for the party.



When the first 8 yards of top soil hit the drive, I sprung into action with my shovel and wheel barrel. After about an hour, even wearing work gloves, my hands were getting sore. At that moment my sick, warped mind came up with the idea of using her self-adhesive mini pads on the wood handles. I knew by this time into the project where my hands were always positioned on all of the equipment I was using. I went into the house and asked for 6 mini pads. She couldn't argue since I was doing all of the heavy labor.



Boy what a difference. I worked until dark that day and my hands did not blister. The next day I added another pad over the old ones and kept on hauling dirt and mulch. This went on for a week with no blisters.



In conclusion, if you have to do hard labor, make it as comfortable as possible.

Rear Boat Drain Plug - Tampon

Believe me or not, I swear this happened to my friend Mike and me on a cool morning on Union Lake in Michigan.

We launched his boat for the first time that year. Everything was going as planned. When we pulled away from the dock his wife asked, “What’s this threaded plug for?” This is when panic set in. Mike and I argued about which one of us was going to jump into that cold water and install the plug. I won and he jumped in. The boat was taking on water fast and on his first dive to install the plug, he dropped it in 10 feet of water. Now we really have a problem. The bilge pump was not keeping up with the influx of water.

I was looking for something to plug the hole and it came to me to ask his wife if she had any tampons on board. She did. She only had two on board so we had two shots to make this work. I jumped into the water with the tampon in hand. I thought about how tampons expand when they get wet, so I kept it in the applicator until I got it into position to insert it into the hole. The first attempt was a success and it expanded to the point that the bilge pump caught up with no problem.

We headed back to the dock and walked to the hardware store and bought a new plug. It was installed and we were on our way to fishing all by 9:15 a.m. One tampon saved a whole day of fishing. This prompted me to but a box on my boat, if not for a quick boat fix, but just in case Mr. P. blows into town unexpectedly. Better to be prepared than having to cut a boating trip shot to go to a store on a beautiful day.

If I stated it once, I’ve stated it at least five times in this book, keep a supply of tampons and mini pads handy at all times. They don’t take up much trunk space either.

Gun Cleaning: Tampons

Try different sizes and find the ones that are the snuggest in the barrel and buy a box. Yes men, we CAN buy tampons if we’re self-assured males. Keep a couple with your guns just in case, as I did, you forget your gun cleaning kit on a weekend getaway.

We shot skeet all day and that night I wanted to clean my gun…no kit. The only thing in the cabin long enough to go the length of the barrel were my arrows. Now I needed a cleaning pad. I looked through some drawers and found some tampons. I slid the tampon out about 1 inch and applied some solvent. These things really expand quickly and that is why you should only expose about an inch. Now insert it into the barrel holding onto the applicator and push the string side with the arrow. Don’t push it all the way through because you won’t get it back in. Work it back and forth a few times then push string side out, grab the string and discard. Your hands shouldn’t even get solvent on them.

For semi-automatics, same applies but you need to extend the string in order to pull it out the end of the barrel. I use large, heavy days on my 12 gauge Weatherby over/under.
