For years and years I guarded for "incidental contact". Then FedOSHA and MSHA have this revelation that "some" people disregard the safety guards and reach into places they really shouldn't reach into, many times the guards becoming an additional hazard
. A simple little guard for a 4"x30" roller becomes an 8'x 3' monstrosity so an arm can't get to a pinch point . I had a take off my glove to see if my fingers were still attached incident, completely surprised me and the machine operator. The ride to the ER with my boss driving was the really scarey part

we've had a couple finger tip incidents since I've been there (just flesh from what I heard). Worst roller accidents I know at our site were years prior. Someone got 'sleeved' and someone got hair caught and it took a piece of scalp off.For years and years I guarded for "incidental contact".

Seen a guy get his long hair in a fan belt, while engine was running, NOT a pretty sight....we've had a couple finger tip incidents since I've been there (just flesh from what I heard).

Common sense is our best safety device
So, it ever asked if the airbags were ever deployed, meaning in essence , was car ever in a bad accident, you can legally say "no". In California that question has to be answered when ever you are selling a car....Or trying to get it insured full coverage...

Some people are lacking said ‘device’. Some of us just don’t use it every time.Common sense is our best safety device
You sometimes know the common sense switch is being turned off if you hear the words “Hold my beer”

Air bag deployment ends in a "salvage Title" doesn't it?
Yes. And impossible to get financed or full coverage insurance because of that...

When you look through the side window nets on the off road racer and know you can easily touch the ground that is racing past your head

Not My car and not my tow driver. But this guy was hilarious. Tried to pull this 2010 Benz up on the flatbed, while parked uphill in my driveway. Didnt hook it correctly, bout half way up, his hooks came off, and away it went backwards down my driveway, Luckily no cars or anything of mine was in the way. The BIG tree at the end of the driveway collected the Benz, and properly totaled said Benz. LOL,LOL,LOL.

Did a little cleanup in the garage. Only 80F and I'm melting in the humidity. Next 3 days calling for 90+ With nights above 70. Gonna be fun. So far the weather yo-yo is not looking bad for Carlisle.

Thermostat gasket leaked.
I ran it anyway. Now to drain the hot rad fluid. And grind those little bumps off the stat housing.
And no, the bolts arent too long. Was factory thermostat,never been apart.

Wait unti i get ahold of that dumbass that rebuilt my carb. I should know better than to let someone that had no clue dig into it. Im going to wring his bloody neck. Tomorrow while im shaving…
Hey. You know what? The lower gasket wasnt on upside down.
It was, however- the wrong gasket. It takes the gasket for smaller primaries. Still a dumbass and i still cant get it right.

Actually, crap, I forgot to order a cam degree kit. Just ordered, so let’s hope it comes in by the weekend!
The one I sent you got lost in the mail. Had it insured for 500.00. Woo hoo!!!
