Don't be a woose Dave, it will eventually heal up and hair over, but I do want to know two things. Did you say any dirty words, and did you hurt that fine cedar? Remember, I don't have any cedar and I would hate to see one abused.  ;D ;D
Since I retired I really like work: It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

I did not hurt the Cedar.  :)
In fact when it first happened, I looked down and saw two "canals" dug into my leg. No blood....no pain. I looked at the log and saw skin hanging off it. In .002 seconds I said, " DanG....This is gonna hurt!". And BAM....I could feel a paleness in my face and I just fell to the ground. Leg was burning like a forest fire and blood was gushing like a fire hose!
Not much time for dirty words.....mainly just foaming at the mouth.  :D

Man that makes my leg hurt. Now its time to hang that hook on the barn door with a sign under it saying, do not use dangerous tool. It makes me even gladder that I bought a logrite. bg

Spray it with some purple dog medicine and get back to work.

I was going to suggest something stronger, like Absorbine liniment for horses. That'll make you hop around the mill right quick. ;D

Why were'nt you using 2 cant hooks?  One to hold while you set the other?  You can poke one in the ground to keep a log off you.

Best if they were two Logrites. :)

Blu-cote. That is some nasty stuff. You don't wash that stuff off,you wear it off.  :D  Glad to see it's not magicman this time. He was having a hard time there for a while. Are you next in line? I made some,Man That Hurts, faces as I was reading this. Was you in shorts at the time all this happened?

Yup, this is why I purchased a pair of catchers shin guards many years ago, just threw the originals out and bought a new pair. Not saying I wear them all the time although they have saved my legs too many times to count.

If you get a pair that fit well, after a while you don't even know they are on. Protect the tops of feet as well.

David,

That is a visibly disturbing image that you conjured up  :D.

Yeh,  :D , You should feel this image on my side.  :(

WDH, he obviously did more than conjur.....if he's "feeling" the image you're thinking of....

I suspect he licked his "wounds" and moved on to getting the taste out of his mouth.   :o   :-X    Looks like he's been quiet for awhile.     :D :D :D

Looks almost bad enough to get a bit of sympathy from the wife.

I did get a little sympathy last night and was doing good until my son came in and said "Daddy, there is a man outside wanting to talk to you about buying some lumber".
I jumped up and ran to the door like a Buck chasing a Doe.
It was like ......yep......It looks like Chester (from Gunsmoke) has been healed. I was "BUSTED".  ;D ;D ;D

I used my LOGRITE today.....NO INJURIES. I think I will retire the Old Woody and hang it on the barn door.

That would be a good way to preserve the Old Woody   ;D

Sorry about the injury, Poston,  I have a bad habit of rolling logs with a wood cant hook and scotching with the steel toe of my boot.  Logs and gravity are rough on the body parts.
