Wood and Shed dont mix!

Hi

Stayed home with the flu today and lasted in bed till about 1130. Waited for SWMOM had left so I didnt get a smack in the head and went down to the shed.

Started drilling some screws into my new TS sled and slipped and drilled into the index finger. Deep, blood trail to kitchen, but no stitches required.:o

Had a coffee.:)

Went down again. Started wrapping a 4" dusty hose with duct tape when it tore and I punched myself in the mouth cutting my lip deep on a tooth.:o

Had a coffee.:)

Went down again. Started screwing up the hose clamp on the dusty hose. blade slipped and straight into the same cut on the index finger:o

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww:(

Give up and crawl back into bed. SWMOM comes home......."why are thier so many bandaid wrappers in the kitchen" and then "How the *(&(*&&^&* do you cut yourself 3 times in bed you *&*&&":mad:

I give up. Flu and the shed no mix!

AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE


"FLU AND SHED DONT MIX"

Oh I give Up:mad:

Bad day, eh?

Never mind. Look at your post. Move your gaze to the left... and cheer up! :D

When I hobby gets too serious we all tend to get stupid in some way.

When I was about 20 and mad about playing football (round ball), I was clearing my first block of land and burnt my legs really badly (dont ask). No probs, just bandage them up and go to not one, but two training nights.

Well a day later they were scraping the skin off my legs to get all the dirt out and I was in hospital for 5 days on an IV drip and regular shots of pethidine. At least there was one upside.

Yup... I know better than to try working in the shed if I'm off colour.:(

If you dont drop something on your foot, you will cut your hand, or end up cutting wood in the wrong place, or making two left sides to a cabinet... or something equally dumb.

If your brain isn't working at least 95% then stay out of the shed :rolleyes:

Sickies are for working in the shed, when your 'are' sick, you go to work and make everyone elses life a misery.
I got caught once when the mobile phone rang, query on a file I had been working on from one of the Directors, I was fishing and you could clearly hear my mate who was landing a trout, plus the rush of the water over the rapids.
Damn that Edison fellow:mad:

Fair go, just got out of bed, I knew who I meant:rolleyes:

If Edison hadn't worked on electrickery, Bell'd just be another dingaling. :D

That Bell bloke's got a lot to answer for!

Feeling for ya, Dazzler!:) Accidents like that always happen in batches, if you cut your hand once, sure enough another finger will cop it. Something about off-days & biorythms, clumsiness or just bad luck.

Cheers,

Actually, when my head isn't in it I rarely cut myself - I only do that on good days when I am feeling overconfident (not often).

However, I wreck plenty of nice pieces of wood until I give up and go inside.:o

I had a similar story, got caught on a work call on the tee with mates screaming about the cracker of a drive he'd just done. Thanks Dazzler you just cheered me up with that imagery!:D

Cheers Sam

Well I went to sneak down a little while ago while Ma T was a cookin!:)

Got told quick smart to "git back up here":(

Oh well. Maybe on the weekend.:rolleyes:

I can imagine :)

you should be cursing marconi if you were on a mobile telephone. it is after all just a fancy packet radio....

edision didnt actually invet electricity - he was the first one to utilise it though.... in a form that was useful - the light bulb thast did not blacken as the elctrons moved from one pole to the other, while he got the light bulb idea happening he was actually building a POWER PLANT!!!

.The first bloke to generate electricity was in fact an iti called luigi galvani in1786 who gen'd electricity using copper iron and frog legs, I $hit you not!, another iti alessando volta worked out how he did what he did and made the first dc battery in 1796.

just ask me., i'll tell ya straight! ya geese!

Yeah, but, as with the first bloke to realise you could get milk from a cow: what did he think he was doing? :eek:

Having a look at what the calf was feeding on I suppose.

Then of course there was Mr Franklin with his kite and the resistance worker Mr Ohm, who later became Postmaster General with the British Post Office.
This is evident with the number of official documents that still bear his name OHMS.........:rolleyes:

Watt?

A Watt'ched pot never Boyles.

And was Faraday a Pf?
Resistance is useless, I can see this may drag on for a while.....

This conversation is currently degenerating at a rapid rate. C'mon guys, let's stick to the topic, and amp up the amount of relevant information.

Seriously, if you are just here to post silly puns, perhaps you would be better off on the comedy circuit. You are all shocking.

:p:p:p

(gettin' ready for a reddie.....)

For the final go one better:

The ancient egyptians developed electricity in the form of a acid/copper/iron battery called today the "Bagdad Battery" which is believed to be used as part of the eletroplating of copper for jewlery. The battery used lemon juice as its electrolyte with a copper and soft iron for the electrodes.

This is now concieved as mans first industrial use of electricity.
