OT-One BAD day!

It all started off with my GPR LED not working when I left work this morning. Got the meter out and had voltage going to the GP side, not the problem. Got in the truck and checked for voltage at the LED. No voltage. Fuse is good. Finally track it down to a broken wire. This is where my day went to crap. I climb up under the hood and start rewiring it. Of all things to sit on, I pick my pocket knife. So, after I get the stitches (bet you can't guess where the stitches are) I come home, start to get in the bed, hook my foot under the edge of the runner on the side, and break my foot! It's one of the small bones in the top of my foot that they can't do anything for. So, I'm at work now and can't stand and well, can't exactly sit either. What a day.

I drove extra slow on my way in to work too. With a day like that, who needs to add to it?

This would make a good script for an episode on a sit-com.
I had to rep you for it.
Six months from now when you're foot is all healed up, it will be a laugh.

It didn't happen unless you have pics.

I guess you will be the butt of the jokes.

Get well soon.
