YEAH! Hawaii! It's an omen. I'm going to Oahu in March. Psyched! Have you been Lake?

Yes, I have... took a surf trip back in '97 for 2 weeks... Oahu and Kauai... wonderful!

Nothing stopping you this winter eh? Cranking out the hits.

Oh.... so YOU'RE the one who jinxed me! :wink:

Sometimes shit happens way too quick...

Worked on a mask late this afternoon... went upstairs to get dinner started for the wife and I...

Started doing some dishes... washing a drinking glass... the skinny ones... shoved my hand in it with the sponge and twisted hard...

SNAP! SLICE! Shattered the glass...

Trip to the ER... tetnus shot, xray, stitches and a cut so deep on my left thumb knuckle I nearly severed one if not two tendons to my thumb...

No nerve damage, no tendon damage... need to keep the thumb immobile for 4-5 days... stitches out in 10-14

Lucky. I'm a lefty too.

I'll save you the gory shot... I can't unwrap it anyhow... but at one point I asked the ER doc about something in the cut... he said, "Oh that... that's fat...."

Way too deep of a cut.

I miss carving already.
