stainless choices

saw this ad in a popular 5000 a week giveaway email...



while the bracelet is sleek and oh so stylish and cool.. at my age, my beard would be white/silver... my shirt would be a truck/street rod show related version with at least one burn hole in it , there would be scars and possible blood on my models hands... and I like my stainless stuff under the hood... polished... they need to check their marketing technique for demographic groups

That's exactly why I don't wear rings or watches when working under a hood. They will leave a good burn mark when used as an electrical conductor. I was warned about this in my early days, but being bull-headed I had to learn the hard way and ruined a good watch band, and I still have the scar.

if gruesome bothers you, don't go there... I've witnessed a couple of these in person... ugly and out of commission for a while
I've had to cut off a wedding ring once... did it with a dremel... gold is an excellent conductor of heat... had a 'ring' burn for a while

I've been happily married 46 years. Two weeks after wearing my Wedding Ring, I was changing plugs on a Big Block engine which will remain nameless , when I accidently bumped my hand into the hot Header. As you can imagine, I quickly withdrew my hand catching my ring on something (I don't recall what) badly dislocating my finger. From that time forward, my Ring has been preserved in my Wife's Jewelry Box and She's fine with it.

Now, if I could only find a way to stop catching and ripping my reading glasses off which hang around my neck, on those stupid inner lips of my F1 fender wells, I'd be good....
