Busting knuckles
May 26, 2019 at 11:16 am
Anyone else getting greasy this weekend wrenching on something?
I just sliced my knuckle on my left thumb - taking the tension off a serpentine belt on an engine I'm pulling. A job I have done a hundred times without incident.
Rule #1 of wrenching - the greasier it is, the more likely you'll cut yourself.

I think I got a paper cut once, when paying a mechanic to fix my serpentine belt.
Does that count?

I have a canker sore that I can't stop licking.

Broke my right leg in a soccer match in school.
