I always keep a couple bottles of eye wash for these kinda goofs. I once got two eyefuls of particle board sawdust at work one night tying up some dust collector bags. The eye wash bottles were all empty so as much as I hated to, I had to use the water fountain. Then I walked back and did the exact same thing. The guys were all astonished that I would do it again. Both times they had to lead me to the water fountain.

We have an eye-rinse cup in front of our kitchen sink so I can find it easily when I'm blinded and alone! 😭🤣

Yeah, for everyone but me 🤪

I have had carbon fiber in my eye too. That required an eye specialist and a microscope. Plus some really crazy looking tools. The three pieces he removed were only visible in the scope. But the partical board dust was like sand. Gawd it hurt.

Might be racing this weekend at my first awards race! Probably only going to run 1 class with the wheeler. Really don't wanna race the 2wd until I get a new servo for it and some more behind the wheel time. Might bring the slash and/or rustler with me for a second class if I feel like it.

Had a good day, until Little Ceasers screwed up a simple order of 2 pepperoni stuff crust pizzas when I got one pepperoni stuff crust, and one pepperoni "slices and breadsticks" pizza. I was going to save one of the stuff crusts to ration over the weekend.

Our dryer has given up. Well not really it still works but it don't heat up at all. Dad was doing towels. Worked fine for the first 2 loads but for the 3rd load (which was the lightest) he put it on timer 60 minutes and still cold/wet after 2 dryer cycles. Guess he gotta call the Handy Man Monday

A heating element in a dryer is easier to swap out than a diff in a Traxxas. Just start tearing into it. You'll see. Then tell your dad to pay you instead, and you can go buy some RC stuff. Come on kiddo. You can build an RC. Changing a heating element would be child's play for you.

And chances are, you can find an instructional video that has a dryer similar or even the same as yours.
