in my defense, the drill press was off when it happened. I thought it had spooled down all the way. it was silent, the sneaky SOB... so I leaned on to test fit and screw on the post for my servo mount. it was still barely spining. grabbed my hair, and stopped the drill after half a turn. I said oww. Ben was like holy shit! I said the same because I was stuck on the drill press! I spun it the other way until I felt I was free. I leaned away, and found the giant hairball attached to the bit. Ben said are you alright? I said yeah. He said good, because that was funny as hell, and started to fall over in laughter.
For those wondering, I am kind of accident prone. (Ive fallen out of a tree, onto a fence. twice. in 2 different trees.) The pain factor was a 4/10 for the initial yank. then throughout the night, I kept getting these headaches that were about a 6/10. Fortunately, the way my hair normally sits, you cant see the giant bald spot.
Chris, I feel the need to thank you for sticky-ing this thread. I was going to keep the hair that ripped out, but then I thought that you deserved it more than I do. Consider it my thank you for making this a sticky. Its already in an envelope addressed right to you, so you should have it just in time before the rc-m bash!
