Ya I remember once working in a machine shop as a young kid,had a full pack of matches in my front pocket.I was grinding some parts on a bench grinder and the sparks started them on fire.Burnt a big round hole in my shirt.I did;nt get hurt,but I never kept matches in my shirt pocket after that.

Get well soon
This sight is so very useful for two reasons
1. It is extremely knowledgeable site
2. Can't get enough of Pat's humor
You can always count on Pat telling you just like it is
Hope you have a swift and painless recovery

Oh boy, Pat, that has to be a tough situation for you to deal with.
Obviously, you have a whole gang of admirers here and all of them are thinking about you.
Richard said fire scares the beJesus out of him, and it has the same effect on me. Maybe some day we can sit down over a bottle or two of something and I'll tell you about how I tried to burn down my house last year.
Your injury will probably have a negative effect on your work output for a while but it shouldn't keep you from making your wisdom, your advice, your knowledge and your humor available to those of us who read everything you write.
Our best to you.

Just got off the phone with Pat.He is sore but his spirits are up.They are trying to get the last layers of skin off with the pieces of shirt burnt in to it.The wound has to be totally clean before he can come home.He is hoping to be home in a couple of days.He said to thank everyone in the Club Hot Rod family for you'r thoughts and prayers.

Fire scares the bejesus out of me too. I've had lots of welding spatter and welding rod burns (it taught me to watch where I put my hand down - and where I sit), but never a serious fire. Get well soon, Pat.Jack

hate to here this pat. hang tuff wrinkles heal quick.
this is the sort of thing that has slowed me down. i'm sneaking up on 60 and really have to watch it. double check everything and don't trust my memory at all. falling seems to be my problem. damn big feet tangle with everything. but yes we need to be diligent at this age. real easy to get hurt bad with all these weapons.

I'm sorry to hear of this. Being on fire is one of the scariest things I can think of, not to mention the pain.
My best to you, Pat, you'll be in my thoughts and, such as they are, prayers.Rrumbler, Aka: Hey you, "Old School", Hairy, and other unsavory monickers.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
