Too many times...

1st time (very young) - knew that a light bulb filament got hot and glowed. Rewired a broken lamp with small magnet wire, when not glowing, I felt to see if it was hot.

Another time - (Probably the worst) - Working on 480V irrigation system. Went into field to check, had to start power unit for generator, ran up to voltage, went to center pivot to check...didn't work (had opened panel with disconnect in on position). Shut down power unit. Went back to panel, reached in and grabbed a fuse...huh...what the ???? Upon closer inspection, the generator had been abandoned and a line run in from the REA lines at the road. Lines from the generator were laying in the weeds, wire ends exposed. The muscles in my arms hurt for weeks after this.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel like I've been pretty lucky. There have been too many times...some are humorous, some are not. Be careful out there! Luck might run out some day.
