Wrenchin' Season Is Here
It's hard to believe but I peeled back a swatch of skin on my first day of shirt sleeve wrenchin of the year.
I was using the right tool, the right way and still notched the side of my hand. - I guess it's good to get the first one out of the way.
Note: This is just about the outside wrenchin' season - I been doin other damage to body parts all winter long down in the basement

ha ha, getting old Ross?
I tried to pull a filter out of a housing today by putting my middle finger in it and pulling, I heard an audible click/crunch noise and now the finger doesn't work so well. Guess I'm getting old too.

Wrenchin season? Heck no, its drivin' season.
Well, thats the theory, but since I didn't do anything all winter I guess I should get busy and do some wrenchin'
My truck hasn't demanded a blood payment in quite awhile. I better be careful, I'm over due for a blood sacrifice.

Last year I bought several pairs of Mechanics Gloves - Fire resistant, Vibration Dampening (Palm side has extra padding) and some Bump Protector (These have rubber lizard lookin ridges on the back side of the hands and fingers) - They worked really well last year - I guess I have to get them out and start using them this year.
