Call me stupid or "I had a small accident today"
« on: April 11, 2002, 09:16:40 pm »
 :'(  Got in a bit of a hurry today sawing a bunch of pine.  The owner wanted log cabin cants in the "D" cut style.  Towards the end of the day, I decided to hep the tailer, so I jumped off the mill and grabbed one end of the cant he was struggling with.  This thing was 6 x 10 x 16.  Pretty decent size.  As I said, I grabbed my end and he his, then he stumbled and fell his end hit the ground causing my end to bounce up and hit me in the side and then fall again and hit me in the thigh.  This thing sat me down on the ground quick.  Nothing broke, but I'm sure that it will be three shades of purple by morning. Guess I'll stick to sawing. ;D

Joey  I got a friend that's 6'11" and weigh's 480 lbs. :o, probably has 20 or 30 pounds of excess reserves on him, he reminds me of your size.  I make a point to stay away from him in a working enviornment cause he thinks everybody can do what he can do , almost got hurt a couple of times just by being close to him, he really gets up a head of steam. :o Got to allow for us little guys and be real careful, were fragile !!  Hope nothing's broke and all works out, be careful !!
