I can’t tell you the number of times I used exactly that combination on a job site injury (electricians nick themselves all the time) … works pretty well!I've used a paper towel and masking tape in the past. When I checked in to get stitches the person at the front desk asked, what can we do to help the blue tape guy
Bang bang!
Jack Black
told me it's a vintage toffee hammer, and they were used by suffragettes to break windows. I assume they were originally meant to break up big pieces of hard candy.You and me both brother, although I usually just chuck some insulation tape on as its hanging off my tool belt and easy to hand . Worth noting I also keep up to date on the tetanus shots
One of the nice features of having a young daughter (many years ago) was that I always carried an assortment of adhesive bandages in my billfold, since she could do something that resulted in a cut or scrape almost anywhere at any time. If I happened to need one myself, having them right there in my billfold was very convenient! (Of course, the first couple of times I used a Little Mermaid band-aid on myself I was a little self-conscious, but that didn't last too long.)I've used a paper towel and masking tape in the past.

How'd you accomplish it? Welding gloves?
I had a small net, but he crawled up the Venetian blinds and was in the frame box, so I took the blinds down and took it outside. Pretty easy actually, glad he didn’t fly around.
Squash Racquet.
Thats a good thing...I was fondly recalling The Great Outdoors bat scene...poor little bugger was no doubt scared.It’s illegal to kill a bat in Illinois and some are endangered, so that method wasn’t an option.
I'm just listening to the radio, and a bloke started talking about seismology in the US, then says, as an aside, but also to try and give the impression he is qualified to talk about the subject, "I mean, I was involved with the Wikipedia page on this"!
Thanks John, I was just thinking of putting some music on!I spent most of my Summer following Drum Corps International (DCI). We travelled to shows and also watched them on live streams for the three months they were on tour. DCI is a marching band competition consisting of ~35 high level marching band across the country. The bands are made up of percussion and brass instruments, there are no wind instruments like clarinets or saxophones. They have ~12 minutes to put on a show that showcases their music ability, their story line, their dance, etc. All the young musicians and guard (dancers and rifle spinners) have to try out for the individual corps, and if selected, they get to spend the summer on a bus, driving around the country, sleeping on gym floors, and entertaining crowds of thousands of people... all for the chance of competing at the finals held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. I've been a big fan of DCI for several years now, ever since my boys introduced me to it when they were in high school. My son competed this year with the Sacramento Mandarins, our local corps. They took 10th place with their highest score ever. I'll post their show here in case anybody is interested in checking it out, and also it gives me a chance to brag about my son.
Make sure to go to full screen and turn it up loud... the shows in person are very loud.
Also notice all the dance and theatrics involved in their shows... It's a major production.

Thank, Todd... My son is the tallest tuba player with the scruffy beard.
Otherwise they eat a lot of bugs like mosquitos and that's a good thing
