picture post!
Before we get to the fun part (the ultimate, cutesy puppy picture part) I will give a short, detailed lesson of what
not to do when working on your vehicle.
I was underneath the Jeep on Friday, trying to diagnose a very annoying rattling sound coming from directly beneath the driver's seat, when I went to grab the passenger side edge to pull myself out. Unfortunately, I made a very serious tactical error and grabbed the exhaust pipe instead. Under normal circumstances, with the Jeep off, this is not such a big deal, except that I had just driven it around the block a few times to try to get a better idea of where to look next, and exhaust pipes can get to 400 degrees in a matter of minutes. If I had just touched it or brushed against it, that would have been a mildly painful lesson learned, but instead, I
grabbed onto it full force and pulled, resulting in blistering, second degree burns on my left thumb, middle and index fingers.
Yeah, major ouch.. I didn't cry, but I cursed a
whole-fucking-lot! I spent the bulk of the day and into the night with my hand in a cup of ice water, which you are not supposed to do, but when the pharmacist suggested I remove the ice from the water I nearly hissed my objection through clenched teeth. No fucking way was I giving up my ice water.. it was the only thing that was helping!! In retrospect, this method of pain relief only served to extend my misery, but at the time it was so horrifically painful that even I couldn't bring myself to deal with it, and my tolerance for pain is pretty high. My advice? Don't grab on to the exhaust pipe and if you do, take some narcotics and pass the fuck out because it's going to hurt like hell for awhile.
Now, on to the cuteness...
