Lesson Learned

[Clay]

No its my thumb. Makes it very hard to peelm the BMF off its backing.

[george 53]

Well, either way, too bad about the injury, hope it heals quickly. But that is true dedication, I mean workin on a kit in the back of a van, Was it during manuvours? (sorry I couldnt help it,again)

[Clay]

Just coming to a stop

[marinewifejones]

he is just lucky he didnt get any blood on my seats

[george 53]

HHHAAAAA,spoken like a true MARINE wife, outstanding! But please no domestic violence, as we NEED men like Clay!

[marinewifejones]

I wouldnt have been violent i just would have pulled into walmart and grabbed a bottle of peroxide and made him get the blood out. I did how ever pull into a parkinglot and had him run into subway to wash the cut and grab more papertowels and fortunatly we were on our way to my moms work to have lunch with her and she had some bandaids. But the biggets thing is he was lucky that it was a brand new blade and not and older rusty one that would have caused us to go spend time in an ER or urgent care center (for a second time that weekend) to get a tetnis shot

[Harry P.]

But the real question is...

What in the world are you doing trying to trim the door handles off a model car body in a moving van???

[george 53]

WOT? just suck the impureities out grab a rag an some duct tape and he's good to go,he IS a MARINE you know. But ,even if you are a Marine wife ,your still a wife, protecting your investment in the relationship, and your babies daddy, outstanding work, quick thinking, Well done! Semper FI, carry on!

[george 53]

Harry, Harry,Harry, Hes a true model car freak. Ive grokked many a kit in the car, but havent actually tried to build one yet.Maybe I'M not freaky enuff!( my wife would argue that,But, thats another story)!

I wanted tape but she said her mom had bandaids.

And Harry I was bored and that model was staring at me.

Since you're in the Marines right now, you're too young to remember this, but years ago Saturday Night Live did one of their fake commercials. The real commercial showed a jeweler cutting a diamond in the back seat of a moving Lincoln or Mercury (to show how smooth the ride was). The SNL version was of a Rabbi doing a circumcision in the back seat of a moving car. Hilarious. Your story reminded me of that.

[george 53]

What I tell you,Your a true freak! know you can say youve got yer blood into this kit an MEANit!

[OLDERGUY]

Must say I've had similar encounters with thoses blades, but not in the back of a van!!

[Raul_Perez]

Now that's what I call dedication to the hobby!!

It's probably a good thing that he did cut himself before he got too far along. Just imagine what she'd have done to him if he'd have kept going and broken out that new can of Testors spray lacquer in her van! We'd have had a national emergency on our hands!

You guys are too funny!

[curt raitz]

I'm impressed...I think

those #11's scare the bejesus out of me just sittin on the workbench...let alone in a moving vehicle

the real question is - how does an exacto knife get into a vehicle???

[Clay]

I bought the thing that comes with alot of blades and a place to dispose of the used blades.

[LVZ2881]

Am I a freak if I've wet sanded a primer coat while in the shower???

I was just trying to multi-task, but the wife still gave me a funny look when she stuck her head in and saw me doing this...

Nice even cut. Shows a lot of skill, But not a heck of a lot of sense Good thing that God made some women who would marry Marines, otherwise the Gunny would have had to handle it.

I've done alot of things in the shower, but thats not one of them.

[marinewifejones]

Raul, Spray paint would have gotten him kicked out of the van and he would have had to figure out how to get back to my parents house in a town that he doesnt know his way around.

LVZ2881, please do not give Clay any ideas.

m408, Im not sure if i should take that as a compliment or an insult. But my dad is a car freak so i am used to strange goings on that the average joe would never even think of doing

and to who ever mentioned the duct tape, surprisingly I do not have any in my van but if you ever need to change a tire I carry a portable impact wrench in the van.
