The journey into the abyss of no return

[fuzzi]

Loved the design of the third pig's house, and the moral at the end.

I guess that makes me an easily amused idiot. I have to admit---that fits.

Remember that over half a million dollar home that sold up the road from me...
Yeah I'm tearing the place up and getting paid for it
Took out about 40 trees for clearance from the house for firebreak and running over 300 feet of trenches for power I will install later. New owner said I was the fire marshal for the place to do what I think needs done, sure thing boss hold my beer. Yep the house is a fire hazard too it needs to go!

You do such nice work!

You do such nice work!

Thanks, I'm sure if the people with million dollar homes knew of me I would be doing work for them too. Just not many of such clients and I'm unheard of for the most part. Kind of nice since I am busy without being known.

 

[Baymule]

A low profile suits you just fine, and you are known just enough to stay busy.

and ..... because of the last small part ........... "Burn after reading" heee heee heee.

Going to be sore in the morning... Replacing a bushing on a trailer axle, no not your Harbor Freight trailer axles. One on those cattle pot trailers pulled by semis.
Welp, was knocking bushing out and it fell onto my right knee the one the pig bit and tore into. All 400 plus pounds was enough weight to damage both sides of the knee.
I think boss man sh t himself with his wife when it did it as they were watching. Eh just back up I will be fine, now wheres me some ibuprofen we got a job to get done.

 

[SageHill]

ibuprofen and arnica. I swear the arnica gel helped the best when I had 180# of ewe blindside me with someone else's border collie (doing a hold no less ). Keep on keepin' on.

Just duct tape the severed limb back on. You're a tough man.
Hopefully the pig bites are healed and the bushing did nothing more than horrible bruising (which can be as bad as other injuries with clots). And isn't what those little platforms on wheels are for when doing mechanic work under cars? No walking required.

When I was working alone at the apartment cutting molding late one night, the wood jumped and the chopsaw blade too off the end of my finger. Just the flesh not the bone. What to do? Gushing blood, I poured Hydrogen Peroxide over it, squeezed a bunch of antibiotic cream over it, and wrapped it in a wad of paper towels which I then wrapped with duct tape. The giant bandage made it hard to finish cutting the molding, but I had to get it done that night so . . . .

It healed fine.
