Well thought I'd get most of the flooring done in my boat today but the murphy had a different idea. Since I'm typing one-handed I'll give the abbreviated version.
Needed to notch a piece of wood by 1/8" inch so grabbed a nice sharp wooden chisel. Well next thing you know blood is pouring everywhere. The chisel slipped and just plowed into my left hand... I know I know... been wood working for years and knew better than to hold the item I was working with. Just a moment of stupidity. Anyway, I knew a band aid wasn't going to fix this so while I was holding a rag over it tightly the wife drive me to the emergency room. Took 4 internal stitches for a muscle I cut and 17 to close up the gaping hole. They put the cast on it to immobilize the thumb and I have to go have a specialist check it out since I cut into the muscles.
I have a picture from the emergency room, but will spare everyone that one. Guess I'm fishing prospects are looking pretty slim for a 10-14 days.
By careful out there boys and girls ;-)
