It's Christmas time again!  So I put the ladder up on the inside of the garage (12 foot ceiling) and got down from the storage space the Christmas ornaments, etc.  In my haste, I left the ladder up.

So this a.m., I'm out in the garage (in sleepy mode) to take the garbage out.  I open the garage door.  Of course I don't remember the ladder is up against the door.  The door knocks the ladder over, falls against the side of the Vette, hits the outside mirror, scratches the left front fender!

I blame Christmas for this!!! Bah Humbug!!!!!!

Another reason why I let my wife take out the garbage. She is much better at that than me.

I tried this, it didn't work

Damn Mark sorry to hear about the bad luck, but I'm sure you'll have it all fixed up by spring time

My cure for stuff like that is much more simple. My Christmas decorations have been in the attic for the last 5 years!

Bah Humbug?

OOOOUCH! Thats too bad. I did something like that a couple of years ago to my Acura and it wasn't even Christmas. Stuff happens and we just fix it and then pretend it never happened.
