I haven't seen a thread about "stupid things I did while doing my rock thing"...... though I did find the one about the cornmeal..... 
So I thought I would share what I did this morning. I checked and recharged my bit Thumler; out on the patio, took out the huge load of rocks, cleaned them, had the coarse grit slurry in my bucket.... when I finally finished washing everything I carried it into the house to recharge. Carefully putting all of the good rocks back in, added some extras to take up the space, put in fresh grit, then added the bottom of the slurry that was left (very messy stuff but good and thick). Filled with water. I then cut a piece of thick tractor inner tube, like someone suggested to protect the lid, it fit perfectly. Reached for the 6 wingnuts and washers~~~~~~~
then almost cried..... I remembered when I carried the heavy barrel into the house I had dropped the nuts and washers in the bottom of the barrel to carry,,,, YES they were still in the bottom ! I had to go back outside, DUMP everything out and start over !!!!! I almost just left them in and found some new nuts and washers, but decided that it might just ruin all the rock and the barrel too !
NOW that I have put into writing my "dumb goof", anyone else have something they want to confess to doing
?? ;D
