Gary went boom

[joe_b_]

Gary Haupt is a frequent poster to the Canada and Alaska forum section. He recently mentioned he was headed to Mexico for awhile. He had become concerned with the snow load on the building, where he had his Class C, RV stored. He removed his rig and a few days later, the building did collapse from the weight of the snow. Gary lives in Kitimat, BC just SW of Kitwanga Junction, over by the coast where it really knows how to snow.

So this past weekend he decided to shovel the snow off the roof of his home, and managed to fall off the roof, breaking his leg. So he will be doing the hippity hop pirate walk for some time with his cast.

Well done -- a merry elf with a mischievous look is way better than a grumpy pirate!

We're having a great time in La Manzanilla, Mexico. It was 85F today and sunny with a gentle breeze off the ocean. Did I mention the 100% Agave Tequila?

My son owns a roofing company, and loves that type of device.

As for RV's, when Spring comes, you will have a chance to re-bed all those roof appurtenances that you've been wanting to do.

And Gary. . . I'm sorry that testosterone is such an ugly force.

I've been wondering where Gary was--kept checking the blog but nothing there.

Gary, I'm sure you'll still find a way to have adventures worth posting about! You've been my rv'ing inspiration for years. Take care and listen to that inner voice more carefully!

In this house, that voice that is saying "don't", is usually mine (the wife's). He has the scars to prove he doesn't listen.

I hope you recover quickly.

Buuuut...you do understand that men are programmed to not hear that squeaky, annoyingly familiar screech that we are all subjected to when we wanna do something particularly stupid, right? :B

and thank you for the good wishes

Hey! My voice isn't squeaky!

Example: Laying flooring in the basement, I say, it's 10p.m., let's stop, it's getting late. He says we're almost done, let's keep going. 10 minutes later, he grabbed a piece of flooring that looked like it was falling off the saw. Fed his hand into the chop saw blade. Almost lost his middle finger - 911, ambulance, ER, physical therapy, the whole bit. But if he had listened to me...

I dunno..I see your fingers typing, but can't see anything on the screen....

Why is it always a man thing????? Every place I go to, when the women outnumber the men, it becomes a man thing and I have to go outside and recruit some men to even things up. 🙂 🙂

But if he had listened to me...

Never gonna happen. Hubby's "mishaps" have so far (knock on wood!) been minor when I've made "suggestions". But they NEVER learn!

Gary, get better soon! I'll try NOT to think of you when hubby has to shovel off the roof again!

That is one thing I will never do again.
