Hope you heal rapidly!

We should start a new thread on stupid car injuries. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Now, everybody, be honest. Who here has smashed their thumb trying to drive an oil pump pickup into the oil pump on a Chevy. That trusted old method of sliding an open end wrench over the tube and hitting it with a hammer has claimed quite a few victims over the past half century. (myself included).

LOL!...stupid car-related injuries??..I'd be here typing all day! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

I can't even count the number of scars I have on my hands now, too many of them run together to tell.

Yesterday's stunt: (took the pic myself left-handed, hence the crappy focus)

No doctors visits for me, I hate doctors. Besides, after all I've done to myself, by now my immune system should be damn near bulletproof. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img]

(now that I said that, watch the damn thing get infected lol)

Yikes!!! Those Polyglas will wait for a couple of days, but .....OUCH!!!!!

I have had several injuries, but only sewed up once. It did involve a vehicle, but a bicycle can only do so much damage, right?

Take care and I will look forward to pictures!!! Maybe you can help me sell a set to NJ!!!!!

Re: Going to be out of commission for a little while
 

Eh...it doesn't even hurt now unless I try to bend my thumb. More of an annoyance at this point.

I was kinda surprised by how deep it is--looking at it length-wise there's a pretty deep trough. Sure bled like a stuck pig though...I'm sure I have some clean-up to do underhood and on the shifter.

Rachel still can't look at it w/o doing a geeked-out oogie dance [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]

Hard to find now a days but try a piece of &quot;Brown Paper Bag&quot;
the fibers in the paper pretty much will close everything off with some pressure! Grandpa's secret when he was a horse trainer!

That sucks Eric.
Look at it this way,you now have traceable DNA adhered to that car so in the future,someone can prove it's ancestry.
