boneheads part 2
well here we are with another episode of "boneheads"
good example today at work...
i had to strip the rubber coating off a roll in the lathe
my boss is about 30 feet away heating rebar up with a torch to bend it like a candy cane...red hot and bend then throw on floor
when the torch gets low on oxygen the tip starts to "pop"
i hear this and grab a new tank
******** from down front who has no buisness coming out back hears the pops also...and desides to ask if he should get another tank
i smell rubber burning thinking that its from the roll i'm stripping
nope
******** ended up standing on the freshly bent rebar and DOES NOT realise that his SNEAKERS are melting..(who in the first place would wear sneakers in a machine shop anyway?)
he has "aquatread" sneakers as we call it now.. and they were rather new
the other day he was not there for 3 minutes before he ended up on the floor with the torch cart on top of him
and he wonders why i avoid him at all costs
entertainment like this can not be bought at ANY price
just another day in the machine shop
...zap!

Since I broke 2 toes last year "simply jumping down off the deck of a boat to the shop floor, 3' off the gorund tops! Done it 1000's of times before but when I landed that time they went POP" and I didn't have them set, I just taped them all together. Now it hurts to bad to wear boots all day. I had on boots when I broke my toes though. Think they lack of cushion in the boots is what snaped my toes.
