Default Dont drink and wrench either.

Well my number 1 rule is don't drink and ride. Now I have a # 2 rule.
Don't drink and wrench, while replacing tensioners I assemble oil pump wrong and now have to open her back up. Hope there is no damage from lack of oil.

Two rules when wrenching drunk. Be sure and lay down when you work,your head has less distance to travel to hit the garage floor,thus avoiding those pesky skull fractures. And always select a left handed,metric/SAE crescent wrench,so you only have to remember one tool.

From "Crawler's Rules for Wrenching":

Rule Number 12: "When the beer top pops, the wrenching stops."
[Stronger Spirits are cover in rule number 13...]

All right, you've gone too far, that is the only reason I put a fridge in my garage. If you have to tear it apart a few times so be it, that's how you get good at it. So good in fact you can do it blind folded and drunk.

You know what else you shouldn't do while drinking? Don't drink and bone!
