My exciting weekend

Post by **Nobody** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 9:15 pm

So I was working on the bronco and it kept feeling like something was poking me in the arm. I'd look but not see anything. So that night I look in the mirror and see a pin hole up higher on my arm.

So I ask the wife to do some surgery. Well she got all grossed out in 2 seconds. So I went at it with my knife, but just couldn't reach very well.

I went into the doc the next day to get it dug out. I told the Doc I thought it might be a piece of wire from my grinder possibly 1-2 inches long. The doc says she wants an X-ray.

After the doc see's the x-ray, she decides to go for it. She sliced and diced and had her pliers buried a good 2 inches. After much probing, just couldn't get it.

So I still a piece of wire in my arm, and now I have a big ass hole to go with it. The doc said to leave it open and the wire might work it's way out. Otherwise don't worry about it.

It other news. I finally go the 5.0L dropped in the bronco.

Nice job Ace. My wife would react just like yours did. Stay safer.

I would be more concerned about the fact you seem to have trees inside you!

It will work it's way out, I often throw on my welding sleeves when I use wire wheels.

Nice trees. That is wierd I did not notice them at all the first time I looked at those pics. You shouldnt hold those x-rays up to the window to take a pic.

Tape a piece of bacon fat over the hole before you go to bed tonight. When you get up tomorrow the piece will be starting to protrude. The bacon fat will draw it out to the surface.
