    So I realized yesterday, quite by accident that my almost 3yr old grandbuddy has been dropping rocks into the PVC pipes that vent the furnace and water heater.
    He sure was proud of his accomplishments.

    My 3yr old grandson (buddy) was dropping lug nuts down the pipe handle of the floor jack while I was patching a tire. Fortunately my dad saw it or I would have gone absolutely crazy looking for them.

    When I was little, supposedly.......I picked up the knockouts from electrical boxes and put them in the "coin slots" on dads skilsaw. Guess it flew off the roof for some reason.

    One of our young grandsons was caught by his dad putting gravel in the gas tank filler hose on his pickup truck. Don’t recall that he was ever guilty of that infraction going forward :rofl: :lol: That was at least 10 years ago.
