This kind of shit has happened to us all. Those of us who worked for a living have had it happen to us more than once. And we have the scars to prove it.
I don't consider a repair or fabrication project complete unless I shed some blood. Small cuts, big cuts, bruises, burns, trips to the ER, all have happened and you are right, I have the scars to prove it.
I would tell some of my customers that I couldn't fix the problem until someone (me, always me) made a blood sacrifice to the Gods of Fixit. Good times. Excuse me, which way to the facility nurse?
I used to repair underground storage tanks. A 20,000 gallon tank will roll while it's in the ground, and all you can do is weld up the old bung and cut and weld a new one in at the new "top".

DeletePoor guy is now internationally famous. Monday if there ever was one. I'm going to keep enjoying my "extended" Sunday reading just a bit more.

Well that Sukkt! I thought he was winning, till the tank started rotating.
ReplyDeleteWho'd have thought something round would roll?

DeleteHe is lucky it didn't keep rolling until it was on top of him.
ReplyDeleteIf it hadn't been Monday he would have been sober enough to just ride it to the ground like a boss
