If you have something you feel as personal record .

Happy or Sad you could post here.

Could be 5 x punctured tire on single trip or amount of pints consumed in one day.

Anything counts.

Mast broken in 3 places ? , three pieces ? - that is achievement

Lost and found , but unexpected - that counts too.

To start my personal best was cracking my board with my knee without even realizing what happen and sailing peacefully for an hour longer.

Another guy on the thread attracted 50 negative comments from one person on first 42 posts on SB, that is good one.

During high school maths, the teacher put "pie" 3.141etc up on the wall above the blackboard. I asked why. She said "cause if your not listening to me, at least your looking at that number".

I remembered that number out to eighty decimal places by the end of the term.
School was such a fun time!

186 mtr2 = 186mtr x 186mtr = 34,596 sq metres. Thats 1 huge carport. You could park 400 fire trucks under it! I'm thinking it would take more than 4 days to construct by 1 person, even in prefab sections

are you sure pilot ? 186 m2 remains 186square meters. more like 13.6m x 13.6 meters unless you want claim right now your mathematics achievements in such strange way that we could also appreciate

My Guinness thread is not about world records.
It is about something you are proud , good or bad.
Just for you, even if mean nothing for anybody else

For example , If I bought three plasma cutters (50A) recently to cut one H beam and each one last a minute or less - that is something spectacular. All died, beam still intact

Yeah well 13.6x 13,6 is about right but it was 1 mtr wider than longer it goes over two buildings on extenda brackets to get the height & 4 posts on one side .
Just how big do you think a fire truck is ?
Ive never measured but I guess 10mtr long buy say 3ntr wide so 4 trucks at 3 mtr wide fit under .
I showed wife & kids one day on the way to windsurfing & she said to me . How the hell did you build that by yourself . I said looking at it now i don't know
I know it was 186mtr2 because i get paid by the square meter . rate is $25 a square meter so the answer is $4650..
Its not complicated just a frame with roof sheets on it gutter at front & barge caps on back & sides & theres only 7 beams in it . Its just really heavy lifting . & a lot of scews & rivets
I actually built it over the easter break had to be done then .
It is a massive carport thats for sure.
Im glad I only get sort of one massive job like that a year as i don't think my back could take them every day.
Had the firemen sit there & watch me build it .
And if you say I can't lift a beam up that long & heavy & hold it in the air well I can't but my Invention can . Its why I got the job .
I don't just work hard I work smart as well
What can i say If I'm not the best Im certainly up there with them.

If you simply try to be abusive ,there is no upper limit in that discipline.
I sadly could only confirm that your record could be easy overtaken by another competitor on SB.

Can anyone beat that ?

You are genius.
I don't even try to understand Macro now after very unsuccessful attempts.
If his logic is to defy common sense, it could be frustrating.
Is is like a quantum mechanics when you try to definite that status that doesn't exist , between two obvious occurrences.

My achievement is keeping my marriage together after 20 years of windsurfing.
