Jim,
I thought gloves were a BAD idea with machine tools but on the wall you have
a wear gloves sign.. Whats up

OK, the sign is not on the wall, but on the basement door that
leads up to the driveway, there's a stairway and a bulkhead
door out that way.

The idea is, whenever I go out to do wrenching on the
bikes, I always forget to put on the blue nitrile gloves
before I head out that way. My skin's been a *lot*
better since I made it a hard and fast rule to wear
those gloves when working on vehicles like that,
I was really prone to 'non-specific contact dermatitis'
(that'll be 85 dollars for the diagnosis please...)
and the nitrile gloves seem like the best way to
prevent the grease and dirt from getting embedded
in my hands.

Jim
