Genius at work

The other day when I went to Wal-mart one of the items I  picked up was a female hose repair kit to fix a leak on one of the hoses I carry with me. Yesterday while watching the ballgame I figured it would be a good time to multi-task and fix the hose. Out came the knife, the repair kit, the scissors and the old hose. All was in readiness and as I watched the game I made the cut to remove the old end, placed the new end in place and secured it and when I was about ready to congratulate myself on a job well done I noticed I had now created a hose with two female ends on it and that I am apparently over stretching my brain in trying to do two things at the same time. I guess next visit to Wal-mart I will be picking up a male repair kit to finish the job of making a usable hose, because apparently the is not a lot of use for a hose with two female ends on it.

Today is ballgame day and I am doing some research on Lake Valley, New Mexico which, weather permitting will be Monday's adventure. Enjoying the good life does require some preparation.

    It was a two trip event to just hit the high spots. I need about a four day stay in the area to cover it well. You will find it interesting. Good food in Hillsboro I am told.

  2. Hey John, the good news is that assuming you buy a male connector next time you can't go wrong ;-)
    I'm always glad to hear when someone else does something as stupid as I do. Thanks for the laugh!

  3. Well I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't seem to pay attention sometimes. But I laughed for you or is that with you.
    Have a wonderful day.
