How did you hurt your self this week

[37chief]

Wounded by chain binder. I finished a mowing job today, loaded the tractor on my trailer. I preceded to chain my tractor. I was laying into my chain binder, my hand slipped off the handle. The handle hit me in the mouth, and busted my lip, and bled like crazy. Lucky it didn't break my teeth. be careful out there, you never know what will hurt you. Stan

Never push on a wrench or load binder, always pull. I don't close any binder with out my snipe bar on it. That way I can use very little pressure and still have it tight. as far as accidents this week. nothing. had knee surgery 3 weeks ago and can't do much.

I stepped sideways off my back porch and landed on my hip on the concrete. Fortunately no breaks or bruises. Putting filler into some nail holes on a newly-installed door frame. Porch is only 1 foot high, though. Still, not watching where I was stepping. zuhnc

I was welding overhead on a precast connection years ago, and a big chunk went down my neck. Didn't wanna stop the bead. Kept thinking "It'll go out, it'll go out. It didn't. Still got the scar !

Just like a bunch of old farts bragging about their injuries. LOL

I'm scared if I answer this it'll jinx me.

I still carry a piece of pipe (snipe bar) never herd that term, on my trailer I used it to pull the chain binder. I haven't used it for years. I think I will start using that again. Stan

I had a big chunk of slag roll right down into a cast on my hand. Just had to grin and bear it. Then when the burn started to heal, it started itching. Just added to the itching that was already going on inside the cast.

If you're not bleeding you're not working hard enough.

If I’m not bleeding, I haven’t done anything!

Put a second hydraulic remote on the Cabota. Had to cut away part of the metal inner fender to make room for the valve. In the process of actually installing the valve behind that notch, I gave enough blood to qualify for a lapel pin. Being 73 and on blood thinners, any scratch bleeds like a stuck hog...
