No blood and nothing broke, but hurts....yeah.  I was chainsawing a dead/dying yard tree for my BIL this morning.  The tree was jam-up against a wood fence so I was trying to prevent any damage.  I made a cut on the backside and left a good hinge on the front.  I laid the non-running Stihl 170 on the ground behind me and reached up with the Hookaroon to pull the tree away from the fence and into the yard.  Yup, I was pulling hard when the Hookaroon lost it's grip and down I went on top of the chainsaw.  Might as well been a pile of bricks!   :o  Anyway, I have a sore back and a fairly good/bad size knot.  Thankfully it is below the ribs or I would be really hurting.

I thought we were 'bout due for another mishap with MM!  Glad you're OK.  I'm a little worried about the saw, however. ;D

You were out doing something smiley_clapping and stuff happened, had you fallen off the couch reaching for the TV remote, well...

Hope you didn't break the saw?  :D

I ended up flat on my back last week hauling down a small tree in a similar situation. Leaning over the fence etc. But I'd set a rope good and high and was hauling on it from way back across the lawn. It finally came over and I couldn't get my balance back quick enough.   

But the only thing hurt was my dignity.  :D

Yes it is Peter and it is OK too.   Thanks all for the well wishes.   ;)

The knot went down last night, but I am plenty sore this morning.  Since I won't be working today, it's a good day to take PatD on a "date".  I'll bet we can/will find some fried Catfish.   food3

I like how you said you took a Tumble .  Those few seconds when you are on your way down , some how if you can Roll instead of hitting Hard , my prevent serious injury. Plus you have those Ugly Toes . . .

Look on the bright side.  At least the tree did not tumble on you.

   Sorry to hear you took a spill and hope you get over the aches and bruises soon.

   Might be a bit of a drive but I know where you can get that good catfish dinner tonight. Come on over to Lick Creek Baptist Church in Green Sulfur Springs WV about 6:00 pm and join us there for their annual fish fry. My son's family go there and I provide the fish and they throw in more and better fixings than any I ever saw.

That name has to have an interesting origin.  I grew up in the "Red Lick" community, which was named for a natural salt lick that attracted animals.

MM,
Glad to hear the knot went down overnight and you are just a little sore today - heal up quick.  My ribs still hurt from a couple weeks back.

Lynn,

   I don't know where the salt/mineral lick is located but I am sure you are right. They sure put on a feed though with catfish, boiled shrimp, fried oysters, snow crabs, salmon patties, chicken for the non-fish eaters, all the fixings (except grits) and desserts.

Glad it was no worse! I always hate it when the only thing holding gives way, and its so true, we just dont bounce as good as we once did.
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Hope all is well, MM.  One time I took one of those but landed on the top of the turtle sand box.  It had already been pushed in several times by the grandkids.  That helped provide a cushioned landing and I laughed at how funny I must have looked to the neighbors. The catfish looks real good.   I use to go to Sue and Charlies at Jonathan Creek area of Kentucky Lake when I was young.  Excellent catfish, hush puppies and a large onion.  Yum!

The knot has mostly gone down but the ole back is still mighty sore.  No leaning back in a chair or truck seat.  :-\
