Don't think I have seen that 4Runner yet. Did you get Scout a new truck?

Bingo
Its been through @lurch and @Chompers hands now me. Scout totally digs it!
I seriously throught of you when I humped that bumper with the winch out to the pad, then took 20 minutes to dig out the engine hoist and saved a week of tweaked back and regrets! Thank you!

Whoa there now, congrats Grant!!!! Looking forward to seeing you out on our camping trips. Hopefully the 60 project isn't gonna slide to the back burner now!!!

Agree. Us old, stubborn folks need to start rethinking how we do stuff.

Truth... tried to leap over the bed rail outta the dodge like a 20 year old and ended up on my can down in the dirt all scratched up. I’ll spare you guys the pic of the hematoma on my hip. Fortunately only Scout witnessed it and was kind enough not to laugh at me... much.
Nice evening toothbrushing the little rocks outta my palm and elbow

Dammit man. I'll bet you're sore today.

When I was younger i would jump out of the back of my pickup like it was nothing. Now when I look down from the bed it looks like I am hundreds of feet up.

Man, I hope you feel better. This kinda fall hurts your ego AND the body.

Those boo-boos on your palm are going to hurt the worst. I'm kinda starting to feel better about trying to split my head open.

We all know you head was messed up before you clonked it.... the wound just finally made it to the surface!

How is your head btw now? I am sure it hurts again now that I posted.

All it did was knock some sense into me.

It's fine. I'm going to guess there is a scar up there.

It was a hot day so I threw off my gloves after welding then forgot and grabbed the piece before it cooled down. Oops. "Be safe, don't be stupid like me."

 

[alia176]

wowza, that's GOTTA suck Been there, done that.

Two rules beaten into my head
- Every piece of steel is hot
- Every hole has a snake in it

-all 4 second grenade fuses are 2 seconds long....

Just quit wearing gloves at all. Eventually the nerves will die and you will develop a thick layer of protective hide covering your hand. Then you can impress your friends by grabbing hot coals from the campfire and laugh in the face of every waitress that tells you "this plate is hot".

Who needs fingerprints anyway?

was this a "lessons learned" type of situation?

You know what they say, “almost” only counts in horse shoes and grenades!
