While there is some symbolism there between my use of surgical gloves and my screen name, it is completely coincidental. The truth to that picture was that I picked one of the hottest, most humid, oppressive summer days to do that job. I had pre-coated the new cover and exhaust components with CASE IH hi-temp exhaust paint and it was just like rubber to handle. I had that sh-- all over my hands from trying to roll that cover over the muffler and slide on three new bands.
Went into the garage and saw the box of neoprene gloves and said, "enough of this crap!" and put on a pair. Once finished, I peeled them off my clean hands, then treated myself to at least three Busch Lights (maybe more) from the garage fridge.
