Big Dee has old Gary D busy
« on: October 31, 2013, 05:58:42 PM »
Our dear sponsor Big Dee has me working my fingers to the bone, literally. I manufacture a piece of equipment for Big Dee every couple of years, and now is that time. Hate the work, love the money I make doing this.

Thus far I am 25% finished and already got a second degree burn on my finger (I use a propane touch to make the piece).

Let me tell you who may not realize it: when you get burned by polypropylene that has been melted with a propane torch, it burns like a m.f.! And no I cannot use gloves-just does not work.

Gary,
         Some decades ago I was working with a propane torch.
After completing by work, I instantly grabbed the still hot tip to remove (DUM).

 My then-Mrs had one of those Aloe Cactus plants, which I applied immediately. There was never even a scab or a scar.

 The actual plants works leaps and bound better than any of the Aloe ointments.

I used to have the plants in my home at all times when I trained horses. You are right-they fix a burn much faster than aloe ointments/gels. I even drank the aloe from the plants in my juice back then. Maybe that's why I was healthier then. ??? ???

I actually just squeezed some aloe gel from plants into my orange juice, kool aid, etc. It tasted like crap, but sure made you feel better.

Big question is what are you making? I guess choke plates or whatever they are called.

I make polypropylene jaw cords. Many people also use them as a safety strap on jawbreaker bits. Big Dee gets frustrated with me because it takes me a long time to make them sometimes, but in September he said I am the only one who makes them so they don't break. He is stuck with me.  rflmao1

BTW, did you take a look at one of the owners of the 10 horse Clenor in the Breeders? yep it is the same Bob Cseplo. I remember years ago he had Bill Mott train for him! Bob also owned Broadway Blue. He was a No Nukes colt. Went to Canada for stud duty!

Gary, it's not safe to use a torch near alcohol collecting devices.
