Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Stupid mistake
ok I gotta say mine....
I have a soldering iron clamped onto my workbench (cause I ain't gotta
holder) anyways I have it at about a 45 degree angle and had it good and hot
with some melted plastic (man thats some stinky sh!t) Well I wasn't paying
atttention and when I turned sent it right into my elbow. OUCH!! at lest it
didn't bleed cause there was a layer of melted plastic under my skin to stop
the bleeding...Easy clean up at lest! But trying to pick out plastic under
your skin is a painful way to spend an afternoon.
Later,
Matt
