Yesterday at the bank I recieved a tip.
I was carrying four boxes of halves to my car. Usually what I'll do is cradle the boxes on my forearms, squat, lean the edge of the boxes on my back bumper and quickly open my trunk with my extended fingers. Works like a charm.
This time however there was a concrete parking bumper between my big feet and my trunk which caused me to lean over a bit further. I lost my balance and tipped over onto my left side,and did a roll, losing 3 of the four boxes in the process.
Luckily none of the boxes was damaged. An old coot witnessed me tipping over and shouted "Timber". Asked if I was alright, and reminded me that I was not 21 anymore.
I started laughing. It should have been caught on video because it was certainly funny. It was like I tipped in slow motion. :laughing7:

I had a bag blow open once when I was walking into my dump bank. Wouldn't you know it right during a snowstorm and was a mixed bag with dimes and halves. ;D - Should have heard some of the comments I got that day. I learned to really seal my dump bags that day.
