A few days ago I put a very small cut on the pad of my middle finger with a careful, but misjudged, application of a small but large enough hammer. Every band aid type plaster falls off and working in the garage is awkward. Just a little injury should not be so Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! I have been using medical gloves inside work gloves and putting up with a sweaty hand until yesterday afternoon when I decided to add some talc. I opened the glove and shook in the talc. Some while later in garage I nicked the end of the index finger of the glove and was rewarded with a shower, nay an explosion, of talc as the awful truth became obvious. All of the talc had gone into the index finger. I emerged from the garage somewhat white faced (does anybody remember "Mr Pastry"?). That was the second calamity of the day. the first being the discovery that inverting the fork tube to drain the oil does not always drain the damper tube. However, a full drain out is completed when the fork leg is turned 360 degrees in the verticle plane, whereupon the remaining oil can emerge. In this case onto my lap and down my legs. So that's an old pair of jeans, under clangers and a pair of socks in the bin and another shower ( that's two this year). Just some of the fun I have being me.
