Today the serpentine belt on the car shred itself. Luckily I carry a replacement and appropriate tools in the trunk. But best of all, I got a nice little second-degree burn on my hand in the process. Which is a nice change from my usual pattern of doing crazy stuff like glass blowing and copper smelting without a scratch and then burning myself on cooking equipment.

I've always had a superstition that if I don't somehow injure myself when doing a project or a repair, then I wasn't doing it right and it won't come out good.

Yeah, that's a dangerous thing to have in the back of my head when I'm working with power tools. :-)
