SLAM killed. Scraped off tossed into corner. Deep into the PA problem... stupid mouse.... Grumbles, storm etc. I should have tossed it but thought too far to fall...
Fast forward a week, shop boss comes boiling out of my bay walking on my boots with wrench saying are you trying to pull a [profane] bad word trick on me scaring my man like that?
Huh?
This... this mouse... that is that. What about this *Pokes me and pokes and pokes...
Oh that, I killed it the other day. Forgot about it during the storm.
Shop boss pales, turns a shade of purple then red as he consider what to do with me. It;s not good people should stroke out that way...
Its a cabover. how in the world does that mouse get up there. -

Spent 3 days in the hospital with the mother of all kidney stone, Everytime I woke up, I yelled for a shot ,stayed like that until they blasted the stone
Another time, I pulled the strap on the roll up door and it came off in my hand, went flying and broke my wrist. They discovered it was broken only after it healed , so I worked the whole timeLast edited: Nov 9, 2017

I went to throw the contents of my urine container out of the window so it wouldn't tip over in the truck (mine has no top) while I was driving. I heaved it to my left out the window but most of it hit the door frame and splashed back directly into my face. Had I eaten anything recently I would have heaved.

Not while driving but while loading on the headrack slipped on ice caught myself on the way down...not fun. Car Carrier decking is like a cheese grater! Another time I busted myself in the head with a load bar that slipped and it hit so hard it put me on my knees! And last but not least (this is kinda gross) I got an in grown hair on my leg that swelled up to the size of a softball! When the Doc lanced it...it went everywhere including on her facemask which made her vomit!! Lol what a mess!

I was running team. After a few years I was gaining weight. I thought of a new diet plan. Only ate once a day, that’s it no snacks.
Only worked for two days. Driving down Hwy 69 in Ontario I had a low blood sugar incident at the wheel. I blacked out going 95 kph (about 58 kph) with an approaching curve in the road. It was a fifteen foot drop off the highway into solid granite rock. When I regained consciousness, I was strapped to a gurney inside the ambulance, my first thought to myself was “well this can’t be good”.
I was in the hospital for three days with a concussion and a tri-pod fracture to my right cheek bone.
