How does that go- “a welder and paint makes me the wrencher I ain’t”?

I ended up removing a few of the bolts out of the side of the grill and the was able to wiggle the light out without removing the upper radiator support. We all had a good laugh at work last night.

This is my fathers hand. A hydraulic line blew that extends the tow bar out. He had to use another truck to lift it off the ground and hold it up in the air. The chain was hold the inner piece up a little bit and once he threw the chain off it came down on his finger.

Dammit. I try to keep stuff like that out of these roundups. (I almost included this one , until I found out that it was a repost .) Thanks for the heads-up; I’ll edit the credit.

It happens in the blink of an eye. I got my left index finger caught between two full 55 gallon drums while loading a truck. Snipped the end of it off. They sewed it back on. I had minor flashbacks of that incident when I saw his finger.

I thought I ’d be safe working in a lab, but I nearly lost my left ring finger when a glass feeder shattered in my hand and almost cut my finger off . They sewed that one back on too, but it severed the nerve and it will always be numb.
