Mine is in the small closet in my small office/benching room... so far still breathing

BUT

Brought up an interesting point I been meaning to relay

Last Friday I went to get my Dewar filled and only one guy was there, not the brightest bulb, and I was told he couldn't fill my dewar today. I, of course, FREAKED OUT, so he told me to go ahead and do it myself. He handed me a long metal hose and told me to pick any of the 160s and go for it.

kewl, I thought.

No gloves, so I wrapped my hands with the tails of my shirt and started filling my dewar. No probs but I couldn't remove the hose w/o a wrench so I left it hanging there. He had told me to just take off since I did the work the LN2 was free

Kewl I thought

Got home and at dinner the wife asked me what was wrong with my finger ?? Half way around my ring finger, where my wedding band sits, the skin was blazing red Maybe a bug bite I speculated Then it dawned on me, the cold must have penetrated my shirt and frozen my rign without my knowing or feeling it, so,

I'm thinking I got severe frost bite. Been putting neosporin on it every day since and can't wear my rign out of town I mean... I might lose it right

Seems to be getting better and no signs of gang green, but, was going to post that you should respect this shit cause it can get ya

TheBanik just beat me to it

I suspect you had an important safety point to relate, but I couldn't concentrate on the rest of your post after that line.
