Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Holy crap.

There's 3 hours I never want to spend on something again.

 

What is that?

 

What is it?

 

New poll. Thanks @Hobbs

I’ve broken one bone, my ring finger up in my hand on my right hand. Was drunk messing with a friend who was a police officer at the time. He was drinking too, off duty of course. Glad I don’t drink anymore

 

It's the rubber boot at the end of the ignition coil that decided it wanted to stay stuck to the spark plug instead of the coil.



Hopefully that was the issue.

Now to hunt down a gas station that has zero ethanol gas.

 

Final tally for this little project:

6 spark plugs
4 ignition coils (used 2 of them)
2 hook tools
Looong needle nose pliers
3 hours off of my life expectancy

 

That’s a stupid design on Toyota’s Honda’s part.

 

Agreed!

In case it's not obvious, it's at the bottom of a 5" hole. And of course it was on the back side of the engine.

 

I thought you were working on a Honda Pilot?

 

Sorry. Still pissed at how long that took I missed Shane saying Toyota instead of Honda.

 

Well is it fixed? The suspense is killing us here...

 

My bad, for some reason I was thinking your Toyota but knowing it’s a Honda

I edited my other post.

 

I just started it go go get some ethanol free gas in it. I didn't even make it out of the garage and the check engine started flashing again and it's running pretty rough.

 

He is/was. However, the boot being a separate part is standard on coils like that. Toyota coils are like that. I've got a spare set of boots/springs for my truck.

All by broken bones have been fingers (3 total) and at work.

I broke two at once and split them open like grapes moving 4ft tall gas cylinders around on a trailer. The guy I was working with and I didn't hook the trailer to the truck when we got to it. We backed up to it but didn't hookup for whatever reason. I started moving the 4 bottles already on the trailer because someone loaded them at the back, so we couldn't load more on without moving them. I moved one side and was working on the other side. I had the top chain unhooked and was kneeled down to unhook the bottom chain. The other guy stepped on the trailer ramp with a bottle and the trailer pivoted around the axle. I put up my arm to shield my head, and the bottles that I was unhooking clanged together with my right middle, ring, and pinky fingers between them. My middle finger just lost a little skin. On the ring and pinky, the skin popped open and the bones at the tip broke/fractured. On the ring finger, the break was around the tip of the finger, and on the pinky, the break was straight across at about where the cuticle is.

For the 3rd, three of us were moving a large aluminum plate (1" thick and roughly 4'x4'). My left middle finger didn't get the message to get out of the way when we set (dropped) it down. I don't remember exactly if the break was around the tip or across, but I think it was around the tip again.

 

Take a fuel sample.
Let it sit for an hour before you do

 

Man, I'm so far behind here. We usually get several praying mantis around each year and some quite large. It's been several years possibly even 15 years ago I found a large stick bug. Those stick bugs are amazing, and that was only the second one I've seen in my lifetime.

 

Re: poll
Yep! Only once despite several close calls. I broke my left ulna as a kid. I put my hands down as I came off the end of a slide and it didn't like the forwards momentum I still had.

I had one of the really large 50 ton bottle jacks tip over on my hand while reposition it. I was helping a friend get his train car off the crib works it had been on for years and down onto its carriage.
Edit: photo of the train car. Just infront if my friend in the red sweatshirt you can see the red bottle jack on the crib works that crushed my fingers.

At work last year and had a metal pipe smash my right hand into a 1/4 inch metal door. The bottom of the pipe had caught a running drag chain, and halfway up the pipe a catwalk acted as a fulcrum and swung my end of the pipe into the door faster than I could react. Bruised the crap out of my middle finger similar to @buyobuyo where it swelled so bad it split up the side like an over cooked hotdog. That took seven stitches to hold back together and 6 months of PT to get full motion back.
Edit: pic of the pipe, it got bent from the force and had to be cut out.
