So wednesday was the day of 50+ winds and I decided to stop at Menards on the way home from work and pick up press board sheets (I had several ratchet straps, I wasnt concerned with the wind). The only carts Menards had available at the time were the type which you lay the sheets flat with about 3 foot of space underneath, I also bought some 2 x 4's as well (I laid those on top of the sheets of press board). After I pay, I roll my purchases outside in the parking lot- I made it to my truck safely,I then turn around to put a bag of screws in my front seat, turn back around and a gust of wind catches the sheets of wood, the 2 x 4 and sheets strike me in my head. The 2 x 4 snapped into 2 pieces after hitting me square in the forehead, my glass were broken, I have blood running down my face and sheets of wood literally flying around the parking lot. A menards cart guy sees the entire event and helps me track down and load everything, he then calls a manager I think, and they wanted to call me a ambulance to make sure I was okay. I refused and drove home with a newly acquired knot on my head. Moral of the story don't buy sheets of wood on windy days.

Anyone else's wives in an uproar over this cold snap and flowers? Mine just text me about stopping and buying a bunch of plastic and blankets...I told her I'd cover them in empty beer cans. She didn't reply...lol
