Dang! How often does that happen!?!...I guess it's a good thing my Harbor Freight $16.99 cheap-o cut-off grinder just took a dump, because I've been pushing it hard without a guard on it...
I just bought another $29.99 job at Lowe's I haven't used. I'll be making sure the guard stays on that one...now I'm a-scared....

Guess I need to tighten up on my sometimes lax safety measures. Funny how you get complacent and don't use the safety equipment after nothing happens for years. Going to use this as a PSA for the Kids too!!!
Glad you are O.K.

Yesterday..... I kept reaching for my watch thinking the band was irritating my arm... only to realize I haven't worn a watch since the invention of the cell phone clock display.

Holy crap! I missed this originally. Hope your arm is doing better! That's a pretty awesome gash there.

Thanks Vicki.... It is healing very quickly and today it didn't bother me much at all.
Guess your ride is over, you and Mr. Vicki back home safe?

Hehe... that reminds me of the time when I cut two of my fingertips off, bone and all... my assistant passed out, so I picked the darn things up and and drove to the ER... I thought they would not need them anymore and tossed them... the Doc yelled at me and picked them out of the trash, cleaned them and stitched them back on... that was 5 years ago and I still don't have a bit of feeling in them..... Glad it was not more serious, Bill... get well fast!

...if it would have just been like that, Bill... that would be exciting... nope, I cut them off, sliding a carpet knife with full force along an aluminum ruler... slipped and hopped on the ruler where my fingers where.... not good!
