What did you do accidently while growing up that was either bad or costly and you didn't get in trouble for by your Mom or Dad?
What I did was. It was corn harvest and dad let me run his Gleaner "E" combine with out a cab. I thought it was the neatest thing then. When I got to the headland I made a right turn instead of a left turn, I heard a heck of a commotion and looked to my left and saw that the unloading auger had caught some tree limbs and ripped the auger off and the whole side of the hopper.

But the reward was working with him to get it back together. That meant more than anything to me.
