I dug around in a public trash compactor for thirty minutes looking for the keys I thought I'd thrown in there. Just as I called a locksmith once it became clear the keys weren't turning up they were found. They had somehow found their way from my hand to the roof of the car and had presumably been there the entire time.

Then, I had picked up a bottle of Roundup for some stubborn weeds along with a bottle of Febreeze to deodorize my shoes. Guess which one I used to initially spray my shoes? Needless to say, the combination of herbicide and air freshener removed to garbage odor. Not sure it's an improvement though.

Then, I had piced up some bolts while out to mount a vise I purchased last week in the shed. I drilled all the mounting holes and had it positioned more or less as I wanted it. There was only one small problem. The bolts were too short and would clear eit her the vise or the bench but not the two together.

Next, I fired up the Webber to grill some hotdogs. Everything went well until I noticed that the hotdogs were skinless. They went on the grill, heated for about fifteen seconds and burst into flames as there was nothing on the outside of the dog to keep the fat from reaching the flames. Burned hotdogs were enjoyed by all. Especially the dog...

The description of your day could go under the definition of "Meh'day" in the dictionary, especially the key thing. Nothing worse than spending an inordinate amount of time looking for some lost item only to realize after some time of futile searching that they were practically right under your nose the entire time.

I was grilling some sausages this past winter with a natural type casing on them, and I forgot to turn down the burners once I put them on...I was in the kitchen doing something else, and after 10-15 minutes or so I noticed the large clouds of smoke billowing up past the window from the grill. Ran outside and opened the top to the grill and one of the sausages was spewing out a thin stream of grease and fat which had caught on fire, looked like a miniature flame thrower. I must have pierced the skin when I open the package. Needless to say we enjoyed some burnt sausage the evening as well.

Some things you can't translate, you can't interpret, you can only guess what they're saying by reading their minds.  ;D
