When you take that last bolt out, it"s going DOWN to the axel, even if you DO have a hold on it! It"s been about a week, so I can laugh about it now, but for awhile I just walked around in little circles talking about how dumb I was...slim [Reply]   [No Email]

OK, so I was 3 at the time, so I wasn’t removing weights from the tractor, just tipped one over. But still something to talk about. Hope that gets better soon, I know what that feels like!

A guy doesn't realize how bad that hurts till he does it, take a small drill bit and drill through the nail. It relieves the pressure and the intense pain. [Reply]  [No Email]

I have had to do this to myself several times, and all the pain is gone immediately (after finishing the drilling process) [Reply]  [No Email]
