I really think it's going to be fine but better safe than sorry. I typically wear some Tig welding gloves anytime I drill, cut or grind anything but my current pair blew out a finger just before this incident and I threw them in the trash vowing to pick up a new set on my way home the next day. They likely would have saved me completely and for just $7 at China Freight.

Yup. BTDT. Those things always end up being needed right after you get rid of what you have. Lol.
When I was a kid (19), I was angry and decided to punch a glass light fixture / dome. It shattered (duh), and I ended up having hand surgery to reattach a tendon in my pinky finger. I was really lucky it only cut 2/3 through, or it would have really sucked. To this day, I can’t understand what the hell possessed me to do something so stupid. It was pretty cool to watch the surgeon stitch the tendon together though! I got to watch, while he had a giant magnifying glass over it. Had to cut it more to have room to stitch the tendon up. Looks exactly like fishing line, but flat rather than round. [emoji16]

Best place around for plants, pottery, and more! The owners are extremely knowledgeable and have a wonderful variety of plants. If you don't see what you want they can probably get it for you and for a much better price than Lowes or Home Depot. Not to mention your supporting small locally owned business.

Ouchy that was a pretty silly thing to do. I don't mind the pain and I don't mind gore I've stitches 2 wounds in other people before but I can't look at my own procedures. Can't even watch myself get a shot I'm a super whimp.



And this is what I was trying to accomplish last night . Just a simple hole so the axle hub fits through. I love polishing turds.

Only the finest for my hunks of junk .

Hey, can't beat free wheels and tires that are nearly new, especially when the wheels are alumi-bois.

This booboo was free and it's not for me

Tendons and other stuff looked good according to the specialist just need to let it heal.

Now you can commit crimes with that thumb because your fingerprint just changed!

I would have prefered brown to match the undies I soiled during the event

Good idea! There's a 2002 Denali I've been eyeing, maybe I should take a trip to Oregon

Quarterly wash, wax, and pathetic photo shoot complete. If you don't take a picture after its clean did you actually wash it?

Looks like it’s thinking about going for a swim to cool off.

Had a running light bulb burn out so I dug through my bulb stash and found some cool looking LED bulbs that I'm not sure where I got them. Looks like one of the original bulbs was burned up bad and the other was not far behind it.

Also checked the catch can hooked up to the clean air side after 300miles and it was spotless. Not even the sent of oil in it so I hooked it up to the PCV to see what happens.

 

[Dantheman1540]

300 or so miles with the can hooked up from the driverside PCV to the top of the intake caught a significant amount of oil. Doesn't look like much but this is just 7 days. More importantly, the hose out of the can to the intake was dry as a bone! Going to pull the throttle body soon to clean it up and see how clean it stays.

 

[Dantheman1540]

Final rendition of my catch can bracket is complete. I added an extension to lift it about 6 inches so it's easier to work with. It's a little crooked but fine with me. If it starts to bug me I'll just bend it in the vice.

Backup #7 wire with unknown heat shield appears to have been getting too hot. Replaced wire with another spare and made a cust Raychem/DEI heat sleeve. Maybe this one will hold up.

Looks good! I think you should just go with the Accel 9070C 135* boot wires. They rock. [emoji16]

Thanks! I likely will but I have all this crap laying around so might as well experiment.
