Watch for the bounce.
If ya didn't see it, ya didn't feel it.
If ya see it, it didn't go off.

What about the wind blowing it there?


We are up on a hill, and it has not been windy lately, still someone
driving/walking by with aviation oil?
Still as confused as when I found it. Wind? plausible....

I did find it on my lawn....

I come home from my last appointment of the day, I see what looks
to be a plastic quart bottle of oil on my lawn.
So I'm a little confused (a little more than usual anyway), because
I did not throw anything on the lawn and it is way to far from the
road. OK, I figure as I walk towards the container, it must be a
full bottle if it was thrown from the street as it is a good
eighty feet from the street. I pick up the thing and it's empty? I
read the quart container and it says:
OIL W 100
Aviation oil for aircraft piston engines.
I have tried throwing it, I can get 30 feet at best.

do you think it fell out of a plane or is this oil used for
something else too?

You have the wierdest life of anyone I know. I'd go with the fell
off the plane theory - unless it was planted there by a neighbor who
knew it would drive you nuts.

Weird?
this kinda stuff is an everyday event for me, I thought these kinda
things were normal, huh?
as far as neighbors, I don't know that any of them are that clever,
besides, I think they avoid me for some reason, (I wonder why).......
Just glad it was an empty quart bottle and not the plane!!!
We have an apple orchard (Bashista's) near here(4 miles)? that Ted
Kennedy's airplane crashed into. here is a link:
