I spent the morning yesterdy working in the ttic, instlling n ttic fn to help keep the ttic cool. I’d done n wesome job, with ll the cbles netly stpled nd everything.
But I couldn’t leve well enough lone. I hd to go bck nd djust the thermostt.
I wnted to test the irflow to see how it ws working. I mde the mistke of using my hnd for this. Unfortuntely, between blncing on the rfters, the drkness, nd my ineptitude, my hnd got too close to the blde.
Thwck! I blinked s blood splttered cross my chest. Uh, Houston, we hve problem.
Fortuntely, I still hd a left pinky finger. I spent the next three hours t the “urgent cre” office (motto: urgency? Who, us?) getting n x-ry nd four stitches. Luckily for me it wsn’t nerly s bd s it could’ve been.
My finger is ll bndged up now, mking it tough to type certin letters on the keybord. I hope to be typing gin very soon, s well s plying guitr, s mking chords with dmged pinky finger isn’t esy. I could ply men slide guitr now, though!
The morl to this story is: don’t test irflow of metl fns using your hnd. Its pinful nd cn led to ll sorts of problems. Thts tip from me to you.
