This conversation reminds me of the time I cut the floor pan form an Austin
Healey Sprite.
I started a small fire under the car and thought to myself, no matter I will
just reach up under the
car and pat it out with a wet shop towel. Well I missed with the towel and stuck
my arm in the
HOT!! tar under coating. That stuff sticks like crazy on bare skin!! I had third
degree burns and
still have the scars to prove it. Just because I teach people how to repair
Heavy Equipment doesn't
mean you can't have a brain fart now and again when playing at home in the shop.
