Deepnhock Follies -Spring! (pic)

Learned a couple of things late last night...

1) Being fussy has it's downside. 2) Being fussy has it's rewards.

Had a radiator problem that showed up after getting home from the SE Zone meet. (Thank you rougher than $#!t I-95..) Had a small leak in the upper radiator hose that turned out to be the solder joint at the upper hose coupler to the upper tank. Upon removal I found the side bracket had also come loose from the lower tank. The upper leak puked a mist of anti freeze all over the engine compartment.... (read that... pita to clean up) So..... Pulled the radiator and sent it out for repair. Cleaned everything while it was out. Decided both the upper hose connectors and the lower hose were old enough to not trust. Great guy at my flaps matched the lower hose perfectly. Upper hose was just straight stuff, so I bought a foot of it. Didn't like the crooked way he cut the hose, so I decided to square the ends using my compound mitre saw. First end...perfect. Center cut...perfect. Third cut (to square the end).... uh.... Shot the hose out of the mitre saw, off the back wall, off my forehead, and then it bounced around the toolroom hitting all 4 walls and the ceiling. Had my safety glasses on, but it still stung like the dickens. Did think to look to see if I still had all my fingers..yep....All 8 were there... But...the hose was a perfect cut Spent the last of the late night hours cleaning stuff.. Will try to put it all back together Wednesday night. Jeff (anti freeze should have car wax built into it..)

Jeff,

you need to mount a video camera in the shop so we can all enjoy some action shoot and you could get some money from America's Funniest Videos or Jack Ass! If you survive.
