Hope you get some good karma coming your way. That's gotta hurt. Glad there was no eye damage!

 

Thanks ChevyMgr. I need some it(Karma) was only what 5 months ago I broke my hand...It's gotta get better. I think I'm doing good 38 years old and first broken bone, and eye injury!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Dang Eric, if it weren't for bad luck............

You got lucky, so count your blessings. Glad that you only got minor injuries that will only slow you down for a little bit, and get you a little extra time off.

Be well!

 

I am.. I feel fortunate I escaped danger 1 more time...................

 

Dang, that smarts! I hope the eyes feel better soon my friend!

I know the feeling as several years back I tore the cornea off my eye when shaking out a tarp in the wind and it came back on my eye! Not only that, but it didn't heal properly, so the optomologist had to surgically scrape it off again with a scalpul while I watched! Thank God for good drugs! Fortunately it healed better the 2nd time and now I wear safety glasses for almost every thing I do in the garage or around the house.

 

Dang gc. Hope you get better. Where were your safty shades? Don't tell me there were taking the back seat on this one.

 

Well routine work of heaving in the line for tying the vessel up at the dock... We have never used Safety glasses ever. but it wasnt my fault if you look at the nut it was so delapidated that it just blew apart...Fetus you coming down to the Festival Sept. 5th? here in Alvin I posted it up here and on RBP
