Meant working by myself lol. Yesterday I had another reminder of what happens when you don't wear your gloves. Was working on a project I started, to rebuild a polar mount for my Winegard 7.5 dish (cannabalized it for my motorized primestar-on-polar-mount project last year). Had a perfectly good 7.5bud without a mounting ring to hold it on a polar mount. Picked out a likely looking spare polar mount I had, and went to work. Drilling holes in a piece of 1/8" steel, and of course eventually I broke a drill bit. Which then made me fall forward and rake the drill, with the sharp remainder of the bit still in it, right across my left thumb. Ouch!
1/2" slice and one sharp stab from a steel splinter into the back of my thumb, bled like a pig, but its ok and no ER trip needed. Thank goodness for super glue.
So the moral is : If you work with your hands, wear the damn gloves you bought, lol. They might save you a lot of pain later. Maybe I can remember to put mine on more often now.
Pics of the project later in the week, when I get back to the project. It's gonna be a fixed dish on AMC6 C for NASA-my little 5' is just not pulling in enough signal any more.
