So How many stiches to patch you up this time?
Im almost scared to ask How many stiches for your life at you even at? if you even know.
Im at like 6 all in my left pointer finger knuckle smashed it on a bolt head putting a brace in place made a perfect cut around the knuckle and it open up and I saw my bone in the cut. Trip to the Free clinic some smelly salts to keep me from passing out got it numb and stiched up and away I went. Think I was back to work the next day with a split and heavy wrap on that finger is all.
I know you've got way better stories than that!

Sub, I get it, you're extremely busy like most of us. I think it was about 7 packs (whatever that means) this time. Rough estimate is north of a buck and a half on stitches and over 30 on staples. Most I've ever had at once in about 30-40? I started real young, probably about 6 or 7. I jumped off the top bunk of the bed into our mattresses with a pencil in my hand. It went into my eye socket. The list goes on and on. Yeah, cats got nuttin' on me.

maybe we should get you a iron man suit or something and just let J.A.R.V.I.S due all the thinking and doing and your just along for the ride. Be Safer for you that way.
No Weapons will just get you a blow torch on 1 side and a welder on the other and turn you loose!
Though that will still probaly get you in alot of trouble! But its be a ton of fun for sure!

well that's the Mark II suit, You'll have to survive in the Mark I for a few months before you can upgrade to the shiny nice new stuff. If you can make it 3 months with out breaking the Mark I then will talk about you getting the Mark II with teh Plasma cutter option!
Also no Dents or scratch'es or paint scuffs more than normal wear and tear!
I just downloaded a few pics, so run while you can. Nothing graphic, just the usual Butthead MaGoo kind of "stuff". Forgive me if it's a duplicate. Windstorm came through a few months ago and literally blew the neighbor's door off its hinge. So the 3 of us (me, myself, and I) put it back together. (He was in Florida suffering through early spring) 
After I got his tractor fixed, I decided to channel my inner Uncle Willie. This is load one, and I figure I have 2 more loads (another of tin, and one that is strictly Cast Iron) to go.
If anyone wants Cletrac parts, let know SOON. I'm going to scrap out the organ donor dozer (Yesterday's Tractor wouldn't let me post, technical error of some sort.)

I have that same work crew of Me Myself and I.
Though Me, Starts this grand project with lofty ideas and Myself sets the unrealistic time frame to get it all done, I ends up muddleing threw best he can to make it happen!
Is that how it works over on your side the lake as well?

Project work also comes down to. Time/Money/Ambition.
Need all 3 to get stuff done. Money to buy the stuff you need, Time to put it together, Ambiton to get it done.
When I have the Money I get the stuff, even if I don't have the time to put it where how I want it. When I have the Time I'll find the Ambition to get it done. Or I'll be kicking myself later when i don't have the Time and think it would be really nice that this was done and then I would not have to be outside in the 10 degree weather to get whatever it is done. or the cold and windy day. or working till dark every night with a sore back.

It's more like "I" get a grand idea, then start a project. Then SWMBO comes up with a request and I go help her out. After that the three of us lose all our ambition and park our butts on FB Marketplace. But you are right about money/time/ambition, except I never have all 3 at the same time. Now that I'm retired, I'm trying really hard to find the dedication and determination to be consistent in everything.

Since Bambi has a personal vendetta against me and mine, and because I want to do the best I can on the Girlfriend rebuild, and the Clifford rebuild, I'm building a small paint booth. I won't be able to paint a full car in it, but I should be able to fit a cab in it. It's going to be 12'x16', and I want to heat it. This is the start of the floor.
I'm swapping labor for his help. I'm going to put a deck on his truck, in exchange for him roughing in the booth. I need to get the area where I'm going to set the booth leveled out before I can go any further. I'm trying really hard not to layout any of our regular income for this build. Lumber my dad has scrounged out of dumpsters, taking scrap in to pay for sheeting, leftover shingles for various other projects. I had to pay for the PT lumber in this picture, but everything else I got from salvaging a collapsed horse barn a few years back.

Though I'd share a little culture from my neck of the woods. The first was something I'm guessing is typical of a morning in Smalltown USA. I mean you're not going to take a JD 9RX 770 or Steiger 525 to the diner, right? Then a couple of weeks ago we went to CMU's fashion show. Robin and I work with the boyfriend who was the one organizing the show, so we went to support. Haute Couture meets the cornfields.
Back to actual work. Since I pulled out all of the big lumber out of the Hack Shack to build the paint booth, I decided it was the right time to finish the last wall. So I took back all the pop bottles ($98.50) and bought the drywall, tape, and screws with the cash. Then I channeled my inner Sub and used to last of my packing crate wood to trim it out. While I was at it, I took the time to take care of my most vexing trip hazards, gas cans, jacks, and jack stands. My Old Man has given me a piece to finish the one window, but I switch gears and get the paint booth done.

Ha, the safety classes do pay off. Without them we’d be calling you stumpy. That’s was nasty.
Thanks HJ. The best part was I already had everything. The screws, wood, metal, paint was stuff I had laying around. Drywall stuff were the only things we didn't have laying around, and we only had to pay for the drywall mud out of our regular paychecks.

Me is the 20 year old who dreams up the project. Myself is the 40 year old who simplifies the project. I is the 80 year old who curses the other two for turning a dream into a nightmare.

The test will be how well it looks 6 months from now! Still nice and tidy or will it be a stacked upon/in mess of other stuff as well as all this stuff?

Stich count!
You guys are just in time for my Shorty refresher course. If you remember I bought a '56 Caddy to scavenge a couple of parts off of. Curiosity got the better of me, so I tried to see if I could get it to start on ether. Hooked a 12v marine battery up to it and nothing happened (I think it's the hack job positive cable the last dipstick cobbled together). So I dropped the starter.................on my forehead. The car is sitting kind of low, so maneuvering under it is super tight. Hence the damaged starter (not). The car does start on ether.
In other news I'm cleaning up the place. The organ donor dozer.....
has been stripped and started to be taken to the scrapyard. 2700lbs of straight cast iron so far. Guessing the mixed steel will be a bit more than that, and I'm hoping the tracks (again straight cast iron?) will be another 2,000 lbs. Pics of the carcass coming soon.
