I am a walking scar
My face was kicked off ,,literally ,face off
a router cut a 3/4 " trench in my leg from mid calf to my knee cap
Mom left a hole in my back with a buckle of a belt
Lots of burns from welding without gloves
Brown Recluse bite to the back of the neck ,one on the face
I was ejected from a car via the windshield ,,I was scalped again
Burn on my forearm from a manifold ,,burned me to the bone one of the most noticeable scars ,its pretty big
Bird finger right hand through a table saw
Between my bird finger and the next smaller one a drill bit went up into my hand ,,it slipped off of a outboard motor prop ,,I was pushing it against a step so I could tap and put a bolt into the hub ,it slipped ,,when it walked off the prop the man had his weight on the drill
so when it slipped ,,it drilled right down into my hand like butter
I pulled crab traps that night ,installed cabinets with a splint holding my fingers so they couldn't bend ,so I could work ,,I puked and passed out over that one
I was stabbed in the back ,shot in the leg ,both by so called friends
A motor cycle decided to ride me down USI in Miami on my knee
It ground the skin off and my knee cap is flat in that spot
the Va tried to say that was all that was wrong with my knees .the meniscus is shredded ,that didn't happen when I laid the bike down
I have a 12 inch scar down my back ,it looks like it was done with a chain saw ,,I had part of my spine removed in 1990 ,it was crushing my sciatic nerve and spinal cord
Yea I am no stranger to pain

@rckt148 Wait... You were using an outboard motor as a drill???

@sarabee1995 NO ,the prop has a bushing in the center made from bronze
the prop is aluminum ..sometimes they do whats called "spin out "
The bronze turns loose from the outside prop ,so it wont turn the prop anymore
But you can drill 3 holes in the prop ,and tap threads into them ,
then run 3 bolts (to keep the balance at high rpm's )into the bronze
making it where it can be as one piece again ,,powering the boat
Other wise when you hit the throttle the engine just revs ,but the boat won't go anywhere ,,,like holding a tire so it can't move ,but the wheel spins anyway in the center
He was drilling the holes with a drill ,,not an outboard
and the bit slid off of the prop and through my hand

The proper way to fix it is with the part on the right
But old men fix them themselves so they don't have to spend money for the new part
