Yup. Way to go grinding off your foot. I thought I tought you better. Accidents mean paper wprk.

I was bored...had to do something to keep it fresh and exciting. Plus we were testing out a new tooth to see if the tooth would rubberize when it comes in contact with skin to prevent injury....it didn't work :-/ I'll put pics up of it when I get back on my puter

Broke my third metatarsal (the long bone running down the top of your foot) so they put an 8" pin up my foot into the bone to realign while it healed for a month.

All I got to say is..... ouch!!! I am very fortunate that I have never been hospitalized for any work related injury.
I have spent some time in the urgent cares but nothing even close to that.

They tried to get me to take some time off, especially since it was workmans comp, but I was back on the mill the following Monday(happened on Friday). I'm not one to sit around and take advantage of workmans comp, especially when it's my fault, I won't make someone pay for my ignorance

They shouldn't make you work at night. The country is much to pretty, to not be able to see it. Thanks for the pictures, sure makes me miss that area even more, though.

If we weren't running junk equipment it would have been a pretty good job up there for us. Kenny was easy to work for and the asphalt was soft....
