I am sure many of you have been here and done that before.  Dang that was a hot one.  I think I did it twice in the same spot within about 30 minutes...ouch... ;D

OUCH!!!!

I got a small burn on my wrist when I was over at Kevin D's place swapping ignition coils. We compared wrists and have the same size burn in about the same area on the same hand... ::)

looks like the burns i'd regularly get from the 600 degree pizza ovens when trying to slide a freshly made pie off the leaf into the oven.

Try burning your forehead while checking the pressure in the front tire.

Johnie, you are going to have that mark for several years. After the skin heals, it leaves a mark that takes forever to disappear. It happened to me with a lawnmower.

I used to hate road testing Norton Commandos with high pipes, I think I've still got scars on my my ankle after 30+ years.

I got one of those a year ago on my left forearm. It was quite the mark for a good amount of time, but now if I wasn't looking for it I wouldn't be able to see it.

Got my first one on my bicep two years ago, but unfortunately I can't see it anymore.  I like scars.  The same cannot be said for two of my passengers, though.
