Nice Kirk

What's that dark thin lam in the center of the stack from the tips coming back to the riser?

Seems to be healing fine.

Pat B · November 17, 2025, 12:40:16 PM

Thanks, Bue. I have to give thanks and credit to the 2 PAs that stitched me up. I think they knew what they were doing.

What happened Pat? Did the wife go after ya with a cast iron frying pan?

I'll bet that rang your bell pretty good....

Kirk, a cast iron skillet couldn't have been much worse. And the bell is still ringing after almost 2 months. I've got a call into my Dr. today to see about the dizziness.

So how did you get that knot on your gourd?

Well today i had a different type of wood working adventure. I finally tuned up my big saw and started a bit of wood cutting for the woodstove. But I didn't last long out there. The saw was running great, but the damn chain was seriously dull. I tried touching it up with a file out there, but the file was the wrong size. It cut better, but wasn't blowing chips like it should.

This Husky 266 XP will run a 3' bar no problem, but i run a 28" bar for more power. When its good and sharp it will pull 3/4" chips and run though a 3' log like butter with a chisel tooth chain. So i quit early and brought it back in the shop where i found the right sized file and got a nice edge on those teeth. I'm ready to blow some chips now!

Funny thing is that this saw sure seems heavier than it used to... LOL

Kirk, I was cutting a 20" red oak that hung up in smaller trees. I waited a few days before going back to it. After studying the situation I slowly removed the smaller trees that hung up the oak and it gradually lowered to the ground. As I was reducing the oak to firewood size logs a dead pine about 20' behind and not affected by what I was cutting broke in half and a piece about 8" in diameter and 12' or so long fell and hit me. When the bells stopped ringing I drove my truck back home on the other side of our property then my wife drove me to the hospital. The funny thing is I stored my saw, oil and gas under my wheel barrow like I do when cutting wood and don't remember doing it.

This is the culprit that hit me
