Today was a never-ending pain-fest.
1. Burned a 1/8" round cavity into my leg by sitting on very hot MIG spatter. OUCH! 2. Cut a finger removing the body from a 63 bug. 3. Cut another finger on the bug. 4. Whacked my ankle bone with a breaker bar loosening lug nuts on a 912. 5. Cut another finger replacing the brake lines on the 912. That's a lot for one day... I'm going home.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Drink a few brews and sleep it off, that's my usual course of action. |

I hate when that happens.
I grounded out my watch band on the Positive terminal of the battery last month. I couldnt figure out how to undo the clasp on the band as it seared into my flesh. When i did get it off i had a raised bubble imprint of my band half way around my wrist. Note the protective covers in place now. Attached image(s) |

I usually wear nitrile gloves in the garage and they prevent some of the minor cuts and scratches. Ever considered mechanix gloves??
PS Wear eye protection. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) That sucks, but I have to say, with these cars, you might want to make sure your shots are up to date. There is usually more rust on these cars than nails left out for the same amount of time....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I wear those mechanics gloves all the time now. They've saved me countless cuts, scrapes and burns. |
