JB started it! :monoloco:Come on Squatchy, a prepared car guy always has a stash of the good stuff to quell the pain. Glad you're ok brah. Beard, not so much. You should take that wad of beard, frame it, and call it "Baby Squatch"!
I remember reading the story. Got his arm stuck, if I recall correctly. Yup. Things can and do happen. The thing about being at home and out in the garage or shop is that more times than not, we're out there alone. It's the one time I actually appreciate cell phones. If the need ever arose, it's that one connection that might just save your ass...@Jerry Bransford shared a similar scary shop moment with us a while back. I think back at all the times I've worked on my jeep and have done stupid stuff that could of potentially not ended well. Stories like this make one step back for a moment, so we appreciate you sharing your experience.
So very true.....I've been working on things and stop and think......can I get hurt doing this? Maybe ......I look to see where my cell phone is and can I reach it if I were to get hurt. Several times I have moved the cell phone closer or have put it in my pocket or back in the holder on my belt.I remember reading the story. Got his arm stuck, if I recall correctly. Yup.

Which one? As an adult, I never had anything more serious than a black eye from my hard top on a hoist swinging into it, and several big drops of molten steel dripping down between my toes while trying to do a quick weld while wearing flip-flops. Yowsa.@Jerry Bransford shared a similar scary shop moment with us a while back.
Thanks, Jerry. Took the day off to "recoup". Headed back out into the garage in a bit for more therapy...Glad you're (mostly) ok Squatch, things could have turned out a lot worse.
I am so going to do that to my wife!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLWith all these serious accidents I feel I should share @Dave K. ”accident”. About a month ago while at work he texted me and said he smashed his finger. I asked him if he needed me to come get him and he said no and heard no more. I didn’t think much because he’s always getting bumps and bruises. He got home at 10pm after his shift . I was my crabby self getting woke up . He was standing by me watching the tv and I looked up and saw this.

I said “why does your finger look shorter “ almost as though I was pissed. He said “well if you weren’t so crabby I would have told you after I texted you the nurse at work took me to the hospital and my finger was totally smashed and had to get the tip cut off”. I was so upset saying why didn’t you call me , or tell me. He let me carry on for about 30 seconds which was long enough when he then showed me this

And said “just kidding”. Yup. That’s what I’m dealing with !
By the way, he had smashed his finger pretty bad, but didn’t lose it, but might have some nerve damage .
A cruel joke, to be sure, but funny as hell!!! He got ya good, kid! :thumbsup:With all these serious accidents I feel I should share @Dave K. ”accident”.
