DIY'ed my way into the ER tonight

Rate this Entry
So I'm in the process of building my stands for my 90 and 50 that will come together, and I decided to bring the frame for the 90 into the living room to check level in it's final spot. Turns out I needed to put a little bit of a shim under a corner to keep it from rocking about a sixteenth to an eighth of an inch, so I thought I'd glue it under there before taking it back out to the garage. Well, the gorilla glue had some dried glue in the tip and I just couldn't get it out. So what do I do? Take off the lid and try to push a metal kabob skewer through to clear it out! Unfortunately in the extreme effort to clear that sucker out I shifted my hand over the top...yeah...you know what's coming...it finally gives, and all of that pressure I was putting on it pushed the skewer right into my hand. I stabbed myself with a kabob skewer, and even got gorilla glue inside the wound! I thought I hit a bone until the Dr. said it likely hit a tendon in there instead. I got my 1st Tetanus shot since 1989 and came home to tell my story by painfully typing on the laptop. I'd take a pic but it doesn't look that bad. At least I found out that my stand is level, the tiny bit of rocking only happens if I press down on that corner. I'm ready to work on it some more when my hand heals up!

    Truer words have never been spoken! Only down-side to Cask-16 (which is my FAV) is the price! The first time I tried it I got it "On the Rocks" and that's the only drink I had from the bar. It was opening night for a new restaraunt and when I went to pay my bar-bill he said, "That will be $27". Well I stated "No that's not right.. I only had one drink... something's mixed up." He replied, "That IS for just one drink of Cask-16. If you're gonna DRINK big you're gonna PAY big!"

    For what it's worth I thought you were a "she" at first but something you said the other day made me stop and look at your avatar a lil closer and THEN I realized that was a child in the picture LOL!
