Snakebit? I can’t catch a break
In mid December I made a bad move with a new German bird beak knife when working on a deer skull. A trip to the ER and 5 stitches got me back to work. Attachment 288985
With all the ice and bad weather, my boat hasn’t been on the lake to wet a hook since late Dec. I’ve got a lot of work done including tying sauger and crappie/catfish rigs.
Things were going good till Sunday when I skipped going to church with my wife to work on a deer. That didn’t end well when I decided to run a Phillips screwdriver bit on my drill almost completely thru my left index finger. Ouchhhh!!Attachment 288986
Well, the fun never ends and today while I was thinning a whitetail cape on a fleshing wheel, I ran my same left thumb into the cutting edge and ended up with this when I got to the restroom. Attachment 288991
Luckily the wound is small and I bleed really bad. A good washing and bandaging and I am back at it. Bad thing was just as I was starting to clean up my thumb, my front door opened and my wonderful Mom walked in. Her question was the same one I’ve heard all my life “What have you done this time?” She then starting cleaning up the sink and the impressive blood trail I had left from 2/3 way to back of the shop.
Moms will be Moms and I’m thankful every day to have both my parents. They are both past 80 and still find time to look after their oldest of 2 sons.
