Tramp Sounds about right,put Vick's Vapo-rub on your skinned places when I done it for real next day skin would be soft enough you could work without bandages, then stay out of the dirt best you could. Done it that way many times. My round heater core has found a piece of rust to fit the leak,so is not leaking for now ! Always good to vent,wife and dogs will come back and cruise once it's fixed !! Find,fix,drive it.
