absolutely... and it's been known to happen in aviation, but with 'skydrol' hydraulic fluid - perfectly harmless to the body but burns like a son of a gun...

V.

much lees likely to be caught... you just leave it on the office seat...

V.

Dat's going to leave a mark.

Bunners

*chuckles... you betcha...

V.

Witty.

*smiles... thank you Hey...

V.

@$$-ist. Ja, das ist es.

And yeah, wintergreen oil on the privates is no more fun than touching your eyes after molesting hot peppers for chili. Bad idea.

Oh that so reminds me of a pepper story and you are exactly right...

V.

Q: How do you tell an aircraft mechanic?

A: They wash their hands BEFORE using the restroom!

Oh, and the punchline to your story?

*laughs with the Marm guy...

V.

LOL! no kidding! those of us that have worked fiberglass and polyester resin do too for the same reason too!

Oh, yes. Also Kevlar and carbon fiber...

yep

Ah, another great start for my Sunday morning; your period-piece writing, mechanic-ing with young-uns and a dollop of innuendo. And now I wonder if wintergreen oil would get that stubborn rear wheel off my riding mower. Two rounds with PB Blaster, a gear puller and a 2lb sledge have failed me so far.

Nice work.

P.S. Perfesser-Bears advice about chili peppers and eyes come several decades too late for me.

*chuckles... when my mother-in-law was going through her crazy stage, I had a bowl of Halipino peppers sitting on the kitchen table. She came in and asked what they were and Glo told her and also told her not to touch. She sat there for a moment, and then reached out and took one and bit into it. After all the fuss and getting the fire in her mouth put out she decided to rub her eyes... of course that made it much worse.

as to the wheel... you could try...

V.

I always find your period pieces to be quite humble tales, Vix. Always a good sense of humour or drama depending on the kind of story, no exception here.

*smiles... thank you so very much...

V.

Rich and I laughed our butts off with this one.

I'll have to remember that one. If WD 40 and CRC don't work, I'll try that before I resort to a hacksaw, drill or a torch.

it really does work... I used to keep a bottle in my toolbox.
