This is the sort of thing he noticed but ignored, the poorly connected railing, and after this fall is recalling how yesterday’s lack of proactiveness is biting him in the ass today.

Or maybe I’m projecting as that’s definitely something I’d do.

I think we all do it in different places of our lives.

That was me this morning. I knew my house has an issue with pipes freezing, I knew it was going down to -30c (-22f) with a -40 windchill last night here, yet for some boneheaded reason I never bothered to put a space heater in the area where the pipes freeze.

So I got to swear at myself this morning for a half hour while I was running around with a propane torch in my basement to thaw the lines out so I could flush the toilet and make coffee.

One good thing with being an idiot is you get to learn how to fix things at least, so there’s that…

Dude, I’m massive, but my skin is still on the outside.

It’s less-dangerous for me to be in the cold, but I definitely feel it.

I watched it several times trying to figure out where that came from. Your loot explanation makes the most sense.

Probably rusted out. Sometimes some top rails are carelessly welded which leaves a gap where it attaches to the square tube. In time, water accumulates inside the tube and pools on the bottom, rusting away from the inside out. To the naked eye it might just look like fine since it’s covered by 17 coats of paint, but structurally it’s just corn flakes.

SOURCE: Grew up in the Caribbean and Louisiana. First salt (Caribbean) then rain & half-assed everything (Louisiana).
