DIY Fails

[dr. d]

Meron din ako nung college, electronics project.
Sumabog yung fuse in front of me when I plug my simple electronics project.
Buti nalang nasa fuse holder, so yung holder yung stopper sa mga sumabog na splinter ng fuse.

Pero yung nasa loob ng bahay, nataranta, ano daw yung sumabog.
Baliktad pala pagkakabit ko ng fuse.

i try to have lots of fuses, when i have to do more electrical work than just replacing bulbs.

another time,
i had the wheel serviced, but did not witness the mechanic's putting it back.
about 500 meters down the road, there was this gumagaralgal na tunog...
my wheel wasn't tightly bolted in, and had loosened.
buti na lang, no other untoward event happened, and the bolts were still use-able.
i now always observe the mechanic as he tightens my wheel nuts.

this happened to me thanks to a tire shop along Visayas Ave.

they didn't tighten the nuts, sad part is that binalik nila yung cover nag mags which needed to be screwed.

When I reached East Ave, a car told me my rear wheel was wiggling at slow speeds. upon checking, 2 studs were gone (putol na) and only 3 studs with loose nuts was holding the wheels.

truly,
"things happen when we do not observe them tightening our wheel nuts or grabbing the correct gasoline filler hose...
