Pluggers by Rick McKee for September 23, 2023

And a fire extinguisher.

Well, at least we pluggers know how to use the tools.

My husband always cut, burned, scraped, bruised, or smashed his fingers on everything he worked on. Especially his car.

Kitty want to repair litter box eh.

Just rub dirt in it. Better a splash of gasoline or diesel.

Paper towel and Electric tape makes a good Bandage ;-)

A real plugger wipes the blood off with a shop rag and keeps going.

They don’t call a crescent wrench a knuckle buster for nothing.

Plugger cat would rather fix a thing than be the one who got fixed (unless he didn’t want to have little pluggers scampering around, in which case getting snipped was a smart move).

Paper shop towels absorb more blood than Bounty!

Men hurt themselves while working to prove that we did something.

My father-in-law carried band aids in his wallet.

I keep a kit in the garage and the house an EMT med kit in the truck and multiple fire extinguishers. I buy band aids by the case, those get used in quantity

Call the ER and tell them you are on the way…

Always include a tube of military wound seal and suture kit to avoid an emergency room visit.

I’ve always told my wife that the sign that I’ve done a good job is if I bleed.

Same thing with us woodcarvers……

bleeding cleanses the wound and electrical tape works as a band aid until the job is done. When I cut the tip of my thumb off I stopped the bleeding and waited an hour before my wife came home and convinced me to go to the e.r.
