Scored Some Sweet Epoxy Syringes This Morning

[chadrog]

Unfortunately, they came the hard way.

People often say they "learned the hard way" about something. What they mean is that it was expensive, painful, or embarrassing, but seldom a "hard" lesson to learn. BTW, chicks dig scars. At least that's what I tell myself with each trip to the ER. :grin::grin::grin:

 

[chadrog]

Well it happened at work, so it's basically a free scar - glad I no longer have hair there to obscure it! A bit embarrassing yes, the pain is soon to come.

Still- It's an awkward place for a dueling scar......hey, it's easier to blame it on a Ninja than a Dinosaur....

Way more interesting than the wrench that actually did the damage, that's for sure!

Some people will do anything to score some free syringes.

Get creative about how you got it! You can be an instant hero! Be sure to buy off the folks who know the real story first, though...

I think some story about someone tossing a penny from a tall building as you were walking below is in order.

 

[troj]

No, no, no.... He was at the bank when it was getting robbed by a ninja. As he was performing a daring capture, the ninja threw a star at him, which he barely ducked (it nicked him) and took out the ninja, saving the day!

Sounds like a good story there...

Not nearly as good as you'd think - I slipped, fell backwards, wrench followed along to hit me when I was already down. Dirty... I'll note that the wrench was 4 1/2 feet long and about twenty pounds - considering that, I got pretty lucky!

Ninjas, it will be ninjas.

For a HARD lesson.

Funny you'd mention that, it was the first thing I said when I got up!

Holy moly, that's a big wrench! Do you work on steam locomotives or something? LOL

That would be pretty cool, unfortunately that's not it. I was doing the final tightening on a (roughly)16,000 pound gear setup prior to starting the turning operations, pretty boring, loooots of boring actually.:wink:

Sounds like a lathe I saw at Aerojet once. Man that thing was huge!

 

[chadrog]

Basically a lathe tipped on it's side - the chuck, which on this type of machine is more commonly referred to as the "table" is parallel with the floor. The table on my machine is 12' diameter, the company has them up to 20'.

Nice haul, those are the expensive ones, probably would have been charged at least $20.00 bucks apiece getting them from a medical facility. Just curious, why did they give you these???

I was admiring the one the nurse was using to clean my gash, and I asked her if I could have it. She offered to give me some new ones instead, probably rules about giving used stuff away these days.

You should do what my Uncle George (who is missing the tip of one of his fingers) does. Every time he tells it he makes up a new story. I have personally heard him promise over a dozen people, myself included, that he is telling the true story about how it happened, and then proceed to tell a different story. It has gotten so bad that I have had two different family members tell me that they know the true story because they were there when it happened. Guess what.... both of their stories were different. At this point I don't think that Uncle George even knows what the true story is.
