Not Listening to my grandpa
I didn't want to return to fixing the pedal problem until I made some progress on other parts of the project. The issues were frustrating enough yesterday (Sunday) that I wanted to gain some faith in what I have set forth on by accomplishing some major tasks. The day didn't start off on a good note. I was going to weld the steel legs together in L-shape pieces, but this required welding gear. My grandpa being an experienced metal-smith for many years had that on hand. He didn't have a welding helmet. So first we had to track down the proper safety equip before I could attempt to go anywhere with this buffalo.
This is when the not listening came into play. My grandpa insisted I use the leather arm protections since I had been wearing a tank top while working. In his words "That welder is going to give a sun burn as red as a cherry."
Oh grandpa I need some color anyway. I didn't listen resulting in a pretty intense sunburn along both of my arms.
First Lesson Learned: Listen to people who have more experience than you
