It actually wasn't terrible once I got the hang of it. The first bit is the hard part.

I'd do a couple turns, lock it with the safety wire, and then finish my section before going back for additional wiring. When I did the safety wire, I left enough after clipping that I could fold it back against the pipe. Also, wearing gloves helped limit the stabbed fingers.

I'm sure when I'm lying under the car fitting everything in place, I'll look a lot more like I visited an unfriendly section of Detroit late at night while carrying obvious money.

Safety wiring is an art. When twisting the wire. Leave about a half inch of twist after you cut it. Fold a 1/4 inch of the twist against it self. Then fold that down the surface.

Good Morning! Been away for a bit. Lots of panis last week as I came down with a urinary track infection. All I want to do is hide in a dark room and be very very still. Feeling much better know except my right knee has blown up like large grapefruit. Don't get old if you are a wimp!

Video of one hospital shows the halls packed with people. Some pasted out, laying on the floor. Another video shows people laying on the street, getting picked up by people in full class A hazmat suits.

Not to spread rumors but.......

Deaths in excess of 80K, several hundred thousand sick and dying.

Conservative estimates 250k dead before it burns itself out. Is it odd that the biolab's emblem is the umbrella?

Phase 1 my dude. Gotta create a viable plague before you go for zombies. The next pandemic will be the zombie apocalypse. I suggest leaving raccoon city now however.

Think it's going to be a lot higher than that in China alone. When it hits India and Africa. It's going to really take off.
