Have You Ever Seen Stars Up Close?

[Random Line]

I think we could save some forum space if just the people who havn't yet bonked themselves on some part of their rig would just sign here.

As for me as soon as we get home I am unretiring a hard hat that is now in storage.

I wonder what kind of decal or logo should be on the front of it?
Maybe "AMP" (Absent Mind Protection)

Grew up on a dairy farm and did not have the fancy parlor but the old manger barn style, and to feed the cows you walked around front and had to duck under a 16"x16" beam. many a times I leveled myself on that beam until it "sunk" in. Now I've come close on the sliders and every time I have flashbacks of that old beam. so I try to take my time by those ole head busters.

I would like to report that I have resolved my problem, I attached three red streamers to small pieces of velcro that hang down from our bedroom slide. They work and have saved my noggin a couple times already. I also slide a pad over the corners of the slide at the bottom.

I have now discovered a way of not hiting myself on the slide. Shortly after my reply here on December 18th I went to Home Depot and bought some foam pipe insulation. I placed it on the entire lower edge of the slide and about a foot up on both ends. Since putting the foam on I have not come even close to hitting my head but I am now afraid of what will happen when I remove it for traveling.

Random Line, you don't have another retired hard hat laying around do ya?

the worse part (besides the pain and the little birdies) is the thought that someone might have seen me do this. after i get my whits again, i always look to see if anyone is laughing.

Sounds like a great opportunity... any inventors out there? A magnetic, padded, thingamajig to attach to the lower edge of the slide... padded enough that you don't wake up on the ground. Bright in color.... hummmmmm is there a copyrite lawyer in the crowd?
