Well, it stopped raining here in newport RI. Did a Mazda protege front brakes. She really didn't have the money for the rotors (they weren't bad at all) so gave'm a light sanding. Took about an 1 20mins to do pads on both sides (thats greased pins and disc quite goop) with getting everything out the basement jacking up, so on (ok I move slow). Some of the scale/rust built up on the rotor's edge was just touching, making a very slight scape on drivers only (damn anti chatter springs)... So she asked why, I said it will be fine after driving alittle bit. She was like OK... I said here, and sand a bit, asked her to move forward... sand a little bit off... not watching the left finger... I feel sooooo f'n stupid.... After she called to ask if I was ok, and her car is fine... Im not... almost thinking why me

Yeah, what sucks 3 months ago it was a 8lb hammer to the left thumb... This one was a finger in the spoke and pinch to the caliper... I look right at it and said I'm going to the ER... The 8lb hammer to the thumb though, dropped me to the knees, I think I almost barfed on that one...
