A few weeks ago I was momentarily distracted at said bandsaw and cut a chunk out of the end of my left middle finger. About a half-dime size chunk. The real problem came when I couldn't get it to stop bleeding after 24 hours. (Curse you, Coumadin!) Ended up In the ER and they got it stopped- $800.00 LATER! I did, however end up with an extra 2 weeks off work. It's hard to turn the tiller with your left dirty finger wrapped. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403853#403853 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:42:04 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: "War" Stories (was stupid things I've done) From: airlion2@gmail.com Good thing it wasn't,t your thumb terry.

I wish I could. I hope to go to Oshkosh for a few days, though. -------- Semper Fi, Terry Hand Athens, GA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403870#403870 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:06:58 PM PST US From: "Dortch, Steven D MAJ MIL USA NGB" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: "War" Stories (was stupid things I've done) UNCLASSIFIED I was strongly advised by a buddy with two fingers missing on his right hand.

I'm glad nobody can see Scout right now. The wings are still off the airplane and all the inspection covers are off. I still need to make glue repairs to a rib glue joint and a splintered spot on the plywood leading edge of one of the wings before they will be done. The tailwheel is coming off so I can take a slight twist out of the leaf springs that has the tailwheel wearing unevenly. I need to patch a hole that I cut in one of the ailerons to remove a loose piece of hardware that was rattling around in there (a random nutplate). The engine cowlings are off and the plug wires are dangling willy-nilly, since I'm replacing the cooling eyebrows with the new set that I have. The front seat bulkhead is torn out; I'm rebuilding it with a new one, along with Mike Cuy-style rudder stops and an extra brace across the front of it to keep it from ever ungluing again when I "exercise" the rudder bar to its full extents in a crazy crosswind. The turn and bank is out of the panel for overhaul. The braided flex fuel line from the shutoff valve to the gascolator is out of the airplane, to be replaced with aluminum tubing. The aileron control cables are dangling in the cockpit. The ELT battery is out of date and needs to be replaced. The gear legs need touch-up paint, as do two fabric repair patches at the lift strut attach points (still in pink). Gaaa-!!! Will this thing ever fly again? Will the engine even start? Poor Scout!!! -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403908#403908 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 09:48:21 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: repair From: "taildrags" Oh, yeah, and I forgot... the centersection flop is coming off so I can replace the mangled aluminum piano hinge with a steel one. The list of squawks seems to be getting longer instead of shorter, and here we are almost halfway through summer!! -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=403909#403909 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 11:14:00 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: repair From: "Mark Roberts" Geez Oscar... I thought for a moment you were describing my last physical. I think I sound more like Scout recently!
