ok... this is getting disgusting... this is the 3rd time that i have started this post. I keep pushing the wrong keys. oughta make all y'all who think i get longwinded breathe a sigh of relief because i won't typing any novella's any time soon.
I haven't been on much lately due to a really heavy work load (read: 3 year audit window on every type of tax possible aimed at one of my restaurant client by the State of Oklahoma) on top of my normal work load.
Sunday afternoon I was working in the woodshop ripping some 1x3's to finish the floor i am replacing in the stock trailer.
my boy, joseph, the special one, was out there with me as was man's best friend, my Aussie shepherd, Andy. Just recently Joe and Andy have made friends after about two years of joe being deathly afraid of him.
anyway, joe was in the woodshop with me and he saw andy run past the door. my wood shop is kind of cramped ... you have to put one tool away before you get something else out... i was in the process of cutting the last 1x3 when joe decides that he has to see what andy is up to. i've described joe's challenges before so i won't do it again. knowing that joe is trying to get past me i stopped pushing the board through the saw but I didn't kill the switch. Bad mistake. When joe pushed past me he shoved my left arm. he hit me hard enough that my hand slid under the blade guard into the saw blade.
Should've listened to my better half. She warned me to keep the kids away from the power tools that afternoon. Told me she had a feeling something was going to go wrong....
So here I am supposed to be taking it easy. Pain meds that don't make me sick don't last long enough. The ones that do work make sick to my stomach ... what a tradeoff. On top of that now that i have a little time to make a post I have to hunt and peck one handed. Hardly seems worth it.
By the way...remember that old tune...I fought the law and the law won? It's my new theme song... just change the word law to saw and i got it made...
