There was a request for a thread on stupid stuff done while working on a 914.
I will start...... I had my six up on my lift working on the rear suspension. I remember looking at the clock and it was about 6:50pm. I stood up to do something (I can't remember what now) and the next thing I know, I am sitting on the floor and my head hurts. I touch my head and I am bleeding. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Seems I raised up under one of the rack arms and cracked my head open. I look at the clock and it shows 7:55 PM. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) At that point, I decided to call it a night. When I told Betty about it, she had a fit! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Her response was "What if you had been holding a cutting torch!!!". Now she insists on checking on me every so often when I am in the garage and it gets quiet for a long time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Ok... Who's next? |

Oh ya, then there was the time I was using a cupped wire wheel on a drill to remove crap from a part. Sitting in the full lotus position (indian style) the part in my lap, the wire wheel grabbed ahold of my shirt and the handle of the drill whacked me right in the nuts. My shirt ended up all around the bit and the drill up by my chin.
...man that hurt. |
