Kitchen knife is not quit as embarrassing though. Nothing quite like shootin yourself!!!

I put a 16 penny nail through my right finger once. Walked over to my neighbors house with my pliers and asked him to yank on it for me to get it out. His mom walked out and yelled at me to get in the car. At the ER there was a line of inters who saw the xray on the wall outside the door and had to see it. It was kinda funny. The doc came in, I asked him what kind of tool he needed to take it out and he said they had one just for that. I was surprised to say the least. he came back in with an old pair of stanley slip joint pliers!!!!

After I stopped laughing he pulled the nail out, guess the glue had loosened up by then!!!!

To bad I did not get a picture of that one

 

Well all, Time to pack it in. Or at lest try to. Took the calves tot he sale barn today and the moma's are just starting to realize it and are raising heck. Bellerin and running about. Gonna be a long night...

How bout a seized up 235 excavator roller and a 100 ton press......... Turns little fingers into hamburger pretty effectively, and leads to inventing of new words not appropriate to say in front of your mother or small children.......


Almost nooner all!

Kids to the eye doc this AM and I get to see the dentist at lunch time. yipee.

It is 15* today though. Maybe this afternoon,I'll fix my parking brakes......

 

15 degrees. Thought of you guys up there, ofc marc-
I tried to walk around today in just a sweatshirt (it's 20 here with the wet wind) and was okay working outside. it's that truck/office/in and out that is killing me..... hubby slanted down my bucket forks for a better grab/lift. we are using the forks to cut trees off the ground, saving chain and backs. slide on and off or tip off from the 2 inch I beam I welded to the top of the bucket. nice clevis mount for chain hooks too, works great.

inside doing paperwork now, then off to work....
then home! then work..........

hot water, hot chocolate and really strong McDonald's coffee here, cause it was terrible when i ordered it this AM......

 

Oh yeah, THAT'S a manly injury! At least it ain't no 'Boo Hoo, I hacked off my finger with a Mrs. Kitchen paring knife'!

chaikwa.

 

ofcmarc....I'm trying to plan out a 4 wheeler ride this week end...the winter trail off tenderfoot should be passable now without to much hassel, if you have an AK topo its page 116 in the Gazetteer. All Alaskans invited...and select 48ers too...

 

Oh and its 28 here now........ :-)

 

Sounds cool! I'll have to look at my plans for the week end though. The giant gap between the garage door and the floor is going to be problematic soon......
Warmed up a bit here too. 26* or so.


Reactor is started. Coffee should be ready soon.

 

yeah yeah, mine at least gave the food an interesting flavor.

Heidi, where abouts in Indiana do you have to go?

I've had one of mine get stuck in a press before, it sucks. Worst I ever had was getting my hand caught in the brake rigging on a locomotive. Broke three fingers and had some good cuts on them from trying to get my hand out. Luck i had leather gloves on otherwise they would have probably been worse.

It wasn't a parring knife... I use a machete to cut food when I cook.


Evening DTR, did a little work for the farmer today. Had an early day so i came home and picked up the neighbors leaves that were covering my yard. Wife and I are going to dinner tonight and then to best buy. She needs a new laptop, hers took a poop this week. It kept turning itself off and on and doing a bunch of wierd things. I've been telling her to get a mac and to get away from microsoft. My next computer will be one of the macs.

How's everyone today?
