Garage Shop

If you are like most of us ex shop guys then chances are you have what I call a home "garage shop". You know, grinding wheel. Dremmel tool. Cordless drill. Maybe even a Sawsall. And all of the usual yard tools like the riding mower, leaf blower, and weed eater, lawn edger, and shop vacuum cleaner, power washer, or even an air compressor. Are you starting to see where I'm coming from? Yes? No? Then you should also have these handy little items to go along with the above mentioned man toys: Safety Glasses, Work Gloves, Googles, Cut Resistant Gloves, A First Aid Kit, and my favorite; cold water. Yes cold water for hydration, and cold water for a possible burn, scrape, or eye wash. Garage Shops are great to have but they pose the same identical safety threat that the work shop poses. Only there, they have rules but at home they have to be imbedded in your thought process or we never think of them. Just a thought from ole "Dangerous Dale". Don't be upset with me, just share one of those unique, only you can tell it, stories about the time you got hung up in the (here is where you insert the tool) because you forgot to(here is where you insert the event) and ended up(here is where you insert what body part got injured).:)
