We have been friends and hunting buddies for 42 years.We were going to Colorado, elk hunting. We built a plywood cabin on my lowboy trailer. Stood plywood on end, U-bolts around rails and lag bolt a 2x4 for a ceiling joist. We get it built to suit our wants. number the pieces, disassemble and stack on trailer.We get to Colorado, find a camp site and start assembling the cabin. There is about a foot of snow and I am gathering firewood, as Bill is setting lagbolts, with a 24" spanner wrench. I come around the end of the trailer, see Bill is standing on the fender, reaching over head to put a lagbolt on the top 2x4. His is stretched out and straining, when the spanner slipped and he hit himself, with the end of the wrench, squarely on top of head, Stiff as a board, he fell back and made a perfect Wile E, Coyote imprint the snow, Mike and I rush over, Bill's eyes are open, but glassy, We look down and he blinks. "G'D that hurts",WE bust out laughing,To this day, we say "Spanner wrench" and he rubs his head and tears up, I have several more of his escapades,</blockquote>
