Go ahead--laugh or lecture.
Feeling real frustrated lately--can't do much
due to my neck/shoulders problem.
Had to stop and "water the grass" on my way to the house.
Stood by my bulk wood pile.
Shakin' my head, mad cause I can't split wood right now,
I give the bulk wood pile a healthy kick as I turn to head in. :oops:
Well, it kicked back. :cry:
Fair size log quickly fell, landed on my left leg/foot.
Instantly, I knew it wasn't good.
Confirmed that when I looked down, and foot was pointin due East, though I was facin' South.
Dislocated and broke it pretty bad.
Kind of puts things back in perspective for me :shock:
Thought I'd share, ought to be good for a laugh or two (at my expense).
But that's okay, go ahead and laugh.
I think I learned laughing is safer, most times, rather than gettin' frustrated...
Okay, everyone, rip me a new one...I'm ready... :lol:
 
One way or another, I think most of us have been there.

When life has ya down, it seems to kick you in the shins too yet!

Bet you get the last laugh--you'll burn the wood. LOL
Hope the legs on the mend real quick.
Oh by the way, doing something stupid's part of growing up & @ 62 I'm still growing (looks like you are too. Keith
 
Yup, things like that can make you feel pretty dumb.

You don"t have the market cornered on dumb stunts. I guarantee you everyone on this forum has one hidden in the closet.
 
Not as bad as the ballplayer who hit a walk-off homer a couple weeks ago, and broke his leg celebrating at home plate. Hope it gets better soon.
 
Canning factory was changing from peas to corn so they swapped the big tractor off my pea combine for an old small one. Week latter on the road I was order down the biggest hill in the county. Started to pick up speed, 3000 rpm, 4000 rpm, rocking tractor+combine started bouncing the front wheels off the ground. Loose steering and uneven bad brakes almost put me into the ditch. Engine was about to blow up. I PUSH IN THE CLUTCH. O-goooooooooood!!!!!! 40. 50.60. 70. Passed car. Front tires floating over more than on road. What a ride.
 
Okay, I'm not feeling quite so alone now.
By the way,
It'll cost enough, I'm just glad the price of steel is down right now.
I wonder if I weigh anymore.
If I have to fly, they'll probably tackle me thinking I'm the "leg bomber".

To Circus:
no need to reply, lest you want to, but I'm guessin' you had to change your drawers after that one. I'm guessin on that ride any normal man would need at least fresh underwear...
 
I was standing in a friend's driveway and watched the following : a fellow was driving an old grain truck with a 2-speed rear end over to a part - time mechanic's house to get the brakes fixed. Along the way, he apparently lost all brakes. Well, as luck would have it, he got it slowed down enough to turn the corner onto the gravel road. Only 3/4 mile of gravel with one short but steep hill in the middle. Well, half - way up the hill the engine starts to lug, and for whatever reason, he decides to split the rear-end. You guessed it, it scrambled and back down the hill he came, until he ran off in the ditch and rolled the truck over. Nothing but cuts,bruises and soiled shorts, he was lucky.
