Well anyway........ In case you were wonderin'....... X-rays have now said that no ribs were broken, but they sure do still hurt. I got a free Conn Organ (Can't beat free!) and brought it home on a trailer. I wouldn't take it off till I made sure it worked (575#) so at 10:30 PM, I went out to put a tarp over it. All was going great, till I missed seeing the trailer tongue in the shadows and went straight over it, landing on my....... Head, Knee, and putting my elbow into my own ribs! On the driveway! Felt like I broke my whole body, and knocked the wind out of me at the same time. I got my wind back, got up, (after a while) and thought I'd beaten the odds once more. Ha-Ha, laugh is on me. Two hours later when I went to go to bed, I could hardly move.. A week later, I went and had x-rays, must be the x-rays hurtin' if there aren't any broken ribs, sure feels like it. Anyway, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it........... OH Yeah, anyone want an organ that works, mostly?

 

Dang, George - hope you get to feelin' better.

 

Greetings 350Steve, and SteveBricks.......

 

Yeah, feeling better! Isn't easy being stupid. Stupid hurts!!!!

 

I've got some bumps and scars to back that statement up.

 

Those trailer tongues can be killers George.

I was walking thru the shop today and one of the other techs left his creeper
in front of a motorhome. I tried to kick it under and out of my way. Well it must have
hit the tire or something and came back out just as I was putting my foot down. Fell
and hit the concrete floor square on my left elbow all 205 lbs of me.
Couldn't move it for a while but iced it down and went and had it xrayed.
They didn't see anything broke just baddly bruised. Can't go back to work until Monday
Also have 3 big welts on my leg I just found from all the change I had in my pocket.

 

Steve, You've probably answered this question before, but how did you get your name? Are you a mason by chance?

 

Big Welts from change? Hey brother, can you spare a dime? Must have been some Big Spare Change! LOL

 

Yes, I am. I do residential work 99% of the time. Concrete, stone, block and brick. I'm trying to get more tile work these days, cause it's usually inside and tiles are a lot lighter.

 

Big George, that sounds like my story from two weeks ago, but my story included a dog. lol

 

Before I retired, I was a Union Millwright and a president of a Carpenters Union. So I have had experience in the field, but I have to tell you, I never envied you guys. Slingin' wrenches looked a lot easier to me!

 

Hey George, Want an organ? Be nice, this is a family site, ya know......

 

What's wrong with it?

Can't work if you're giving it away

 

I think it's the memory he wants rid of.

 

That or the ten steps he has to carry it up to get in his house, lol
