I'm not squeamish. I work with three fullas who can only count to 9 and one half.
My friend was a photocopier
repairman starting in the 60s
He was working on a very large
Unit in a bank
He had unplugged it and was almost
Laying down with his arms inside of it.
He said a woman stepped over him
He thought it was odd but kept working
Turns out she plugged the machine in
And his left index finger
Was ripped off in the gears.

All the permitry and lockout tagout stuff at work winds me up, but then one of these stories reminds me why it's necessary all over again.

This is what I've used, start watching at 1:08

Sometimes we'd make a rip only run, then drive back over it with pipe in the attachment.
We used the same thing, a subsoiler. Pulled PVC in straight lines with one . Pull the subsoiler thru to break up the soil then attach the PVC just behind the point and pull it down the route. I have pulled 400' of 1" pvc in Georgia clay. Ended up about 18" deep.

So how did you loose the end of your thumb Tim
Short story of the long.
A bad infection that was growing under the thumbnail and into the bone. After several nail removals and clean ups that didn't work it had to come off. Lesson learned is to now wear the orange sissy gloves on real dirty machines Todd. You never know where they have been. Have a goodin my friend.
