Actually, the worst part was about a week later. The tissue in my thumb
was healing into a big lumpy mass, and the doctor decided that liquid
nitrogen was the way to get rid of it. Tears to the eyes stuff, that is!


Mine healed very nicely; antibiotics right away, and the nail was clean,
unlike your blade.

I have experienced the LN, for big warts when I was a kid. They would kill
the flesh, and turn it black, then it would form a scab and fall off. I
hated that doctor.

This coming from a "professional" carpenter! :-)


Sad, huh? The more familiar you are with something, the more you take it
for granted. I jerked a tangled air hose, and the gun and my finger met in
mid air.

One thing is true, I think. The more you do something, the more likely you
are to have a problem with it. If you never use a nail gun, you never will
shoot a nail into your finger! :-)

Sorry Corky,

International Scouts also had left and right hand lug nuts.
I had a wheel come off due to the lug nuts being put on by
someone that didn't know this. Felt they might be stripped
so they didn't tighten them any further.

Was a wild turn when the passenger side front tire came off!

I pounded out the studs on the passenger side and put the
normal studs all around.

That would be the left or drivers side of the vehical. One of
Chrysler's committments to better engineering. :-/

The idea was that if a lugnut was loose, the rolling motion of the
wheel on the road would tend to keep the nut from actually turning
itself off the lug.

No other auto manufacturer thought it a snarky enough idea to copy it,
ever.

They were used on English cars and motorcycles.




This is an airplane forum. Don't forget them.
All the Hawker Siddley/BAE/Raytheon Hawkers come with a British
Standard Whitworth tool kit. All the hydraulic fittings are BS and
the rest of the hardware is SAE.

It is a different size standard. There is SAE, Metric and Whitworth.


ISTR there are different metric standards. The most common being DIN,
but didn't British have their own metric thread standards for a while?
