  • Heads up!

    ...or better yet...DUCK!

    Over the weekend, I discovered that I might need to take a hard look at my band-aid supply.

    I was moving what's left of our wood pile closer to the door on saturday. I keep the wood on our patio, which is under our deck. I got the wood moved, all but a rather large chunk of oak that I use for a chopping block. This is a heavy piece, so a did a squat (lift with legs...not my back) and picked up the piece...spun around to carry it quickly to the other end of the patio, and had a head-on collision with the bow end of my Old Town canoe which hangs beneath the deck. I hit HARD!...didn't know what tha hell just happened...dropped the chop block on my left foot...and stood there, dazed, confused, and temporarily blinded, just long enough for the canoe, (now a 15.5 foot pendulum), to return fire...BAM again!
    At this point I'm even more confused!..."who in the hell keeps hitting me in the forehead with God knows what, stomped on my foot, and why can't I see them!"
    That second blow caused my knees to buckle, saving me from a third, and likely fatal blow. My vision came back, and allowed a somewhat blurred picture of my attacker, and wicked thoughts of why in the world that canoe is hanging so low when the bottom of my deck is 10 feet above the patio.
    Now there's the feeling of a trickle of blood making it's way down the side of my nose, into my mustache, on it's way to my chin, so I walk with haste to the downstairs bathroom. I wash the area, and pat it dry with tissue, but it takes several attempts to apply a band-aid before I can beat the flow of blood, then remove the instantly soaked band-aid and opt for a larger one, finally opting for a gauze pad and the largest band-aid.
    It amazes me how much a small facial wound can bleed!

    Lesson learned...next time I get into bow-to-head combat with a canoe...I'll duck....or maybe just raise that damned canoe!

          Yeah...I laughed!...I laughed so hard my head hurt...LOL!
          What's strange is the fact that there's nothing "sharp" on the bow of that canoe! I suppose I just hit hard enough for a blunt cut.

                  My pleasure Loshali!

                  After trying several "cover up" items from my wife's make-up drawer this morning...I finally decided that trying to cover it up actually looked worse than just leaving it as-is...but I'm getting tired of explaining how it happened to everyone that walks in the door at work today.
                  I'd actually been feeling pretty good about myself over the weekend. I worked feverishly on my fence project all day on saturday, feeling like I was 30 again, turned 49 years old saturday night, and 12 hours into my 49th year I get into a fight with a canoe....and loose! :o

                    Don't tell snal...

                    Hey Everybody,

                    Psst... Don't tell snal, but he could have won $100,000 on that video show if he had just taped it. Bless his heart, beat up by a canoe and lost out on the money.
                    If it looks ignernt, but it works, then it ain't ignernt.

                      Dont tell Congress, we will end up with a waiting period for canoes.
                      The last time i had an "incident" with a canoe, i was fairly intoxicated.

                        I find that hard to believe! How could anyone have a canoe accident while drinking? That is the only way I stay alive.

                          Good look with the bandaid collection. My wife is allergic to latex, so we get to buy the expensive ones for our collection.
