    Self explanatory, it's a leaf coffin...
    Perhaps not. I could picture that as something behind a lawn tractor. Imagination at work anyway.

    If I had a dollar for every time I did that with a swaged fitting on HPLC tubing...
    and/or every time I soldered a plug onto an audio cable -- but forgot to slide the finger grip/cover up the cable before attaching the plug...

    Giving notice backfired on me one day. Riding my bike (bicycle) through one of the local parks, I was riding up on a group that was blocking the gravel trail, so from a distance, I shouted, "behind you", or something to that effect. This was in the middle of a rather large field, so I was just giving them a warning that I was passing, and that I would just pass off to one side. No problem, right?

    Well, some 3 or 4 year old child apparently got freaked out when I issued my warning and bolted off to the left of the crowd at top speed....directly into my path. I slammed on my brakes and ended up doing a reverse pop-a-wheelie with the front brake. I ended up grabbing the child with my other hand in front of the handlebars, and as I am in full reverse wheelie mode, carried him a good seven feet until I stopped.

    The kid ended up being okay and the kid's parents apologized, as I was a good 15 feet away from the group as I was passing by, at a good clip too. Had I not said a thing, I would have just passed by them and nothing would have ever happened.

    Now, if they are talking about motorcycles? What are they, deaf?

    Endo it is then. Duly noted.

    My Grandmother probably would have said, "Tail over teakettle".

    Brilliant.

    Most quarries do have big ol' ponds of one sort or another on the premises, though.
    Often saturated with lethally toxic runoff, but probably fine for leak testing.
