so, i went to mcmark's shop today to work on my car. mostly prep work for the engine test-fit.
lots of cutting sheetmetal and grinding down spotwelds etc. then on to cutting out the /4 motor mounts with the plasma cutter. i *thought* i had it all covered, safety wise, got the goggles, gloves, noise protection ... spent about 5 hours cutting & grinding. then, on my drive home, it felt like i had a sunburn on my arms, but i couldn't really see anything. so after i got home, i take a shower and now i can clearly see that both of my forearms are *covered* with thousands(!) of tiny burn marks!
