I must be getting old.
Long story leading up to "the incident", but I'll save the bandwith.
Suffice it to say, that due to a slight miscalculation on my part, I
cut too close to my shed with my equipment trailer, and snagged it.
The fender flair punched through the side of the shed, hooked the
corner stud assembly, and proceeded to tear the front of the shed off.
Needless to say, I didn't see that part, but my wife did and was
horrified, standing there with her hands on her face and her mouth
hanging open.
I turned around to see the entire inside of the shed, with the front
wall and door laying on the ground. Luckily the roof didn't collapse.
In the old days, I would've absolutely freaked out. Instead, it
struck me as the funniest thing I've seen in months, and I proceeded
to almost suffocate myself laughing so hard.
It only took a couple of hours to put the thing back togther - luckily
I'm a good carpenter.

Did it come down in one piece, Buster Keaton style?
