Worked on the Jeep today. Warning. Not for the faint of heart. Sometimes things don't go well.

Drill jammed while drilling a hole for the safety chain. Jammed my finger between the drill and the bumper. Not quite sure how I got it free but this was one of those times I knew a bandaid wasn't good enough. Six stitches in all. I'm a bit drill shy at the moment. Am I getting to that age when I need to put the drill down? Nah, I'll get over it

That should heal up nicely. It will be quite sore for a few days. It happens quick, doesn't It? No drilling 'til the stitches are out. Okay?

A friend of mine felt sorry for me and finished the job! Doesn't hurt as much as I expected.

Ouch- that would've had me cussing up a storm!! I worry about something like that whenever I use my "Hole Hawg". Jeep looks so clean and un-molested and already you'll have fond memories of working on it.
