I was doing some work on the house. I put a ladder up against the gutter of a carport. Once on the roof, I continued up the roof to get to the wall of the main building. Once on the roof I looked back at the ladder and thought I hope it doesn't fall. I went up the ladder several times and no problems. It started to get dark out, so I said to myself two more minutes and I will go down. I heard a muffled thump. Turn around no ladder. Just great.
Lucky for me I had my phone. I called my neighbor and lucky for me he picked up the phone. He was over in 2 minutes to set the ladder back up. It's a very light ladder and strong made of magnesium. Being light the wind took it down. But I had my warning and didn't act on it. Dumb. Now I cord my ladder to a gutter spike so it stays on the gutter.
As long as we can remember our mistakes. There is hope for us. And that applies to every aspect of our life.
