I managed to send myself to the emergency room yesterday. Broke the 1/2" x 48"x18" glass I had covering a couple 55 gallon drums in the garage with the door. I reached out to try to stop it from getting broken when the door picked up the glass, but wasn't quick enough. The glass slammed down on the top of the drums, broke, and grabbed my right index finger leaving a nasty 1/2" deep angled gash. When I took the paper towel and ice off in triage an hour later it was still pouring blood, so that should give you an idea of how bad. 7 stitches and $100 copay later along with a tetanus shot, I'm a bit sore. Of course, it's on my right hand and they stuck me in my right arm. Uggh, f'n delays. The stupid part is that the little voice that says don't do that wasn't so little and I still ignored it.
I run a picture framing shop and here in South Africa we use real glass on all the frames, not plexi glass like you guys. Our first repsonse when somethings falls is to get the hell away from it.

A while back though I got into the habit of breaking somethings fall with my foot whenever something fell off a table until a 10 pound hammer fell off the table. :cry:

Great work pete, I hope you heal up quick, and are back working on the tank soon!

Busy weekend with the gf. Finger is to the itchy stage of healing, so shouldn't be long before we're back on the tank. Hopefully, it'll be tonight.
Best of luck man ! Glad to see this really coming together.

I hope you're really milking the sympathy vote from your girlfriend! At least then there's a very valid excuse for no progress:ROFL:
He did say he and the gf had "a very busy weekend", but no progress on the tank... :naughty:

I'm sure you're sick of everyone riding you like a racehorse, but we can see the finish line and can't wait to get there already!

I did spot that, it takes a lot for me to resist that kinda comment and not drop an innuendo. I bet there's one person he's not sick of riding him like a race horse though....
