I got my left hand crushed between my rear bumper and trailer tongue today, trailer weighing about 1,200# at the time. Manned up and finished out the work day and then headed to the hospital only to have a heat stroke 2 blocks away. By the time i got through the ER doors i could barely walk and was on the verge of collapsing and passing out. After some ice packs and IV i feel much better except for this badly smashed hand. X-ray was clean no breaks but it has lots of muscle, tendob, and soft tissue damage. Ill post some pics tomorrow. When i was asked why i didnt get my hand out sooner i reponded "My bumper is still dent free." lol

Fixed small drip at trans line to radiator.....worked on another project most of the day - teaching a kid to do U Joints, carrier bearing and brakes on his project truck. (he learned that you can destroy a new U joint in a 20 ton press if you get in a hurry!)

You can destroy a lot more then just a U Joint in a 20 ton press. Better be glad it wasn't his hand......
