Never thought you need a full body armor for weed whacking, did ya.

 

Nope!

Always make sure I have something covering my eyes though...

 

I ended up with 4 stitches on my left shin last july after mowing my lawn.

Funny thing.... ive had 24 stitches in my 24 years of existence. They have all been on my left side.

11 in my knee after falling off my bike while riding in the snow, I was 12.

4 in my shin last summer while mowing the lawn, I was 23.

9 in my thumb Tuesday from doing a u joint, im 24 now, 25 in august!

 

I find it hilarious that both of us did the same thing and left with a very similar injury. Maybe it's time for both us to invest in a press? Hahah

 

I have a ball joint press, I just prefer to do it with a socket and hammer, well I used to prefer it anyway.

 

You should really consider seeing a counselor about your thumb-hatred issues.

 

i get cuts and bruises all the time from working, i have scars all over my hands and arms from my work (mechanic) i cannot remember a time when i have not had cuts on my hands there is always at least one. rendneck i always use a hammer or cut them out i hate the rust up hear in good ol canada

 

been there, done that, still doesnt help, haha!

i hear ya man. i get cuts constantly. this is the first "severe" injury ive had working on a vehicle.

i might still use a hammer, now that i have a vise!

 

And here I was taught that it isn't a "real" job if you don't bleed on it......

 

That's what my grandfather always says. If you don't leave your blood, it's not your work.
