    Hope that oil wasn’t piping hot, Keith!

    Well, sure glad it wasn't hotter, and that it didn't go through your skin, as it certainly can, which I understand is a pretty serious injury!
    I'd say 45 years is a pretty good run!

    Can’t like that, I’m glad you’re okay. High pressure oil injected into the body has quite a few unique issues. Glad you find out first had.
