Das Volks Vintage Volkswagen Gruppe

The most sought after topic on the board got lost on the great purge of 2014. Back by popular demand ( mostly by Ken) ...its back!


I did this over the weekend while sweating some pipes at home. Ooops!
day 1 - hurt like an sob!


later that day..... got a bit juicy as the blister popped


day 2- moist


day 3 - started to peel.

Looks like there will be no romance with "Miss Right" for a while.

I looked at this eating my lunch, that is NASTY!!
Did you apply for workers comp??

YES! I contacted HR (my wife) and she said that if it hurts that much I shouldn't be working on the VW's. Suddenly, it didn't hurt anymore.

Burns are nasty and hurt like hell !

I broke 2 cardinal rules for working on a car this morning....1)Don't start when you are half asleep and 2) LET THE DAMN THING COOL DOWN FIRST!

Ive been chipping away at the siding on the house in the evenings. The other night it was like 930pm... and I was obviously very tired while hanging the tyvek. The 1/2 inch slap stapler bit me...... ouch.

Stupid should hurt.

At least you had a beer to ease the pain.

I assume you already had a tetanus shot. I've seen the vehicles you drive.

Another trip to the E R avoided!

At least your nail has a weep hole now so the blood can get out.
BTDT.

YES! my thoughts exactly. They would have done exactly the same thing Im sure! Only difference is they may have used some sort of sanitized vice grip...... we used one straight from the garage. Gave her the old, ' wipe it across the thigh' to clean, and she was good to go!

It's been a while since I've posted although I've had a number of good bleeds but just have not taken the time to post. Going through some of my old pictures I found this one. I got this while fixing the rusted frame on my Tacoma. I should sue Toyota!!

Cut myself a few weeks ago on a sharp piece of metal!

During the summer i was at my parents and cutting up a 68 bug that was rusted out. I was trying to remove s bolt and the wrench slipped and I smacked the back of my had on something.

Ken... pictures or it didn't happen.

The Doctor was so proud of his work he initialed it!!

Actually the Doc comes to see you before the surgery and signs the part he is about to operate on so they don't operate on the wrong thing!!

I was busting up an old porcelain light fixture and boy that stuff is sharp!

After i smashed it i looked down and there was blood all over.

Nice flow!!

That's going to hurt for a while.
