So the 13th is the first Monday of it.

I don't know if I'll have all the parts I'll need by then.

And if you want to come down during the week I can't make promises on equipment availability since business > playing around when it comes to that stuff.

I had to get stiches in my foot and right next to my right eye. My foot I cut a few tendons in while wading in a lagoon(real bright NOT!!!) Next to my eye was because my glasses cut a gash when I fell down at recess in 8th grade.(I can't remember exactly) My dad has sliced his leg open from right below the knee to about 6 inches above the ankle he said he could see the bone. He drove himseelf to the doctor for that one.

Sorry, Jim. I don't swing that way.


Now that I got that out of my system.

Yea. Hopefully before the month is out.

Once all the parts are in-hand we'll set a date for it and work out the rest of the details.

I can't tell if it's being stubborn or tough with older guys on farms.

My dad was out with a 3pt rotary mower and it caught a rock and flung it up and it hit him in the head.

He had the presence of mind to shut off the PTO and idle the tractor down before shutting the tractor off. (open station tractor BTW)

I was there in a Kawasaki Mule side by side we had for a little runabout so I drove him up to the barn to get cold water and something to press against it to stop the bleeding.

He got it to stop and then went back and brought the tractor up from the field. He didn't go to the hospital until later that night when it started bleeding a little again and mom made him go. He got 3 staples for that one. Drove himself there and back.

Then he was trying to get some old truck rear ends cut up and the rims taken out of the tires. So he took a torch and cut the centers of the rims loose and then he got them onto the tire squeezer. A tire squeezer is essentially like 3 wood splitters mounted with the wedges facing each other in a triangle type thing with the tire in the center and the wedges crush the rim so you can pull it out of the tire. So he had the big tire on there with the center loose. He went to squeeze it and it popped up and caught him in the face. It knocked out like 7 or 8 teeth. Most on top only one or two on the bottom. And it cut a gash through his bottom lip. He climbed up into the loader he was using, shut it off, and drove himself to the hospital. If he didn't have bad luck he'd have no luck.

He's one tough old bugger though. Sounds like your dad is the same way, Jake.

Yeah, they always seem to put getting medical attention off till they know that they can leave with out worrying. I don't think my dad would have left any quicker, that sum b!otch would have gotten the cows fed first before leaving if my uncle wasn't there to take care of the things that need to be finished. That bas***d is sure tough though.

So far all the videos of his I've watched have ended in disaster because of stupidity/recklessness except 1 which was a result of a lack of communication.
