 So i had a very unusual accident at work and had to go to the emergency due to burns in my face, i had a car overheat and blow the radiator cap, just as i opened the hood. I have been a mechanic for over 30 years and never seen a radiator cap just came out like that, it was an aftermarket one and the two wings that suppose to lock it in place broke off, have i waited a couple of seconds, the cap would have come under the hood and nothing would have happened to me, but my timing was perfect and got my face all soaked in hot antifreeze, and my shirt too, so i had to run to the sink meanwhile i took the shirt off and soak my face in water, it was not so bad at first, but after a couple of minutes it started to get real bad and they have to drive me to the emergency room, where it just took 4 hour for a doctor to see me  So now i am at home with all my face cover in a white oily paste, and people say that i look like i have fallen sleep at the beach  and my face is all red

Joie's had that happen to him, though not that severe. If you feel too bad, just go outside, I'm sure it'll be cool enough for your face.  |

Well finally i will leave on vacation to South America, and visit family and old friends, i had a very crazy last couple of weeks, they moved the shop to a new facility and everything that could go wrong did, the new place is beautiful and big with plenty of room, but is on a bad area of the city so security measurements are extreme and makes me feel like i am in jail every time i have to get in or out of it So hold the fort until i came back which is a week from Sunday, i will use any free time to advance on my book about the ruckus and metropolitan scooters, maybe when i get back i will run some pages to see if you guys ca help me a bit on it as you already know, English is my second language and it shows
