Well THAT was stupid

Posted by Ultradog MN on March 09, 2011 at 05:23:04 from (70.58.237.63):

I painted the hood on my friend's Ford 2000 yesterday afternoon.
Done spraying and was washing up the gun with lacquer thinner.
I don't know how it happened but I managed to shake the cup somehow and splashed about a half cup of thinner in my face and in my right eye.
AARRRGHH.
He had to lead me to the sink so I could flush it out with water.
Spent the evening in a lot of pain. Eyes and nose watering all over.
Went to bed about 6 pm but couldn't sleep so I came downstairs and pounded down a couple of beers. That put me out and I slept till 4 AM this morning.
Eye crusted shut when I woke up and still somewhat deflicted even now.
I guess I'll live.
You work around heavy tractors or in my case a lot of power tools and equipment and you learn to take care. But one little mistake and it's a big gottcha.
I can't believe how it even happened.
But BET that I'll be more careful around a paint gun and thinner in the future.
