Okay, okay, it's been a couple days and I'm healing up nicely. So let me tell you about the "Night of the Bloody EAT". It started innocently enough with the idea that I could use a Dremel to clean up the reinforcement ring from the tail end of a broken EAT plunger tube,  to reinforce the front end of a new EAT plunger and make it stronger. Easy-peasy, right ?

Umm, yeah, not so much. Seven vodkas in, I was doing just fine. The reinforcement tube was sawed off and I was grinding away the remnants of the old plunger tube. Everything was going just fine up until it happened. Somehow the cutting blade caught the plastic, grabbed ahold, and dragged my hand into the cutting wheel. Yikes !

Just sayin', it's a good thing I'd had six or seven vodkas, because that really would have hurt. Blood started shooting everywhere, the plastic ring bounced off the ceiling, and most of my right fingernail appeared to be missing. In my inebriated state I instinctively grabbed a paper towel and applied pressure, then found the reinforcement ring.

Look, I'm not saying I'm tough, brave, or impervious to pain. But whomever wants to attempt this, please remember. Don't drink and Dremel !
