My reunion went great yesterday, other than the fact that im red as a lobster. I let Amanda talk me into going into the lake with all the kids and my white pale skin is now a nice shade of red!

Amanda got a little sunburn too but not as bad as me. Sarah rubed me down with alo last night and i was able to sleep most of the night but about 3 i woke up and my pillow was wet i already had water blisters on my shoulders. it dosent hurt unless i breath!

the piture is me cooking with my dutch ovens, i made beans and apple cobbler.

Tigger sounds like you had a great time at your reunion.You do have to be careful about getting too much sun.I know everyone loved your cooking.

Speaking of reunions..I had my 30th year High School reunion last night.It was ok since I wasn't close to nay of my classmates since all my friends went to another High School.It was still nice seeing the old classmates...some looked alittle like they did back then,but alot had changed.Some of the Hot Girls back then still looked Hot 30 years later. (LOL)

Went to work, had an accident, been to hospital, just returned home.

I had a stupid accident this morning i climbed on top of a high stack of timber packs to check the "bill of laden numbers". Normally a forktruck is used to lift the packs down for me to check which i wouldn't have to check had it have been properly checked by the guy who unloaded the timber in the first place. Anyway like an idiot i didn't wait for a forktruck or get one myself. I really don't know was i was thinking climbing up, guess i was in too much hurry. I was walking along the rows of timber and i slipped trapping my left leg between two timber packs twisting my leg at the same time. I really thought i had broken it but luckly it wasn't. I was lifted down in a cage via a forktruck. My first thoughts were, this is embarrassing lol. My leg was in agony so it was straight to the local hospital and i had an xray to check if there's anything broken, and there wasn't although i have a torn knee ligament and some may be frayed. Which they reckon will take about a month to fully heal. At the moment it's a little swollen and the bruising is coming up which i'm told is normal. I am so angry with myself for being that stupid, i should know better. When i first started at the sawmill, climbing sets of timber was common because if you only wanted two of three lengths, it was easier and quicker than getting a forktruck move a lot of packs in front just to get a few lengths. But of cause nowaday with safety regulations being much higher, climbing packs should be a thing of the past. But it still happens from time to time. I was just unlucky. It's unlikely i'll get sick pay so i'll use some of my holiday to cover it. Which isn't really a problem because at the end of the day it was entirely my stupidity and fault. I must have had my brain switched off this morning. Guess it could have been worse i could have fallen to the ground and landing on concrete doesn't bear thinking about. So if i'm on the forum more often, it's because i can't do anything else at the moment lol.

Mart! Man!

I won't ask you "What the hell came over you?", you'll ask it yourself enough the next few weeks. Just don't do that again.
Accidents often come along with hurry. I know it is worse when you know that and do it anyway.

I'm glad you got "just" a torn knee ligament when it could have easily ended much worse.

I hope your knee will heal good and fast, my friend.

Mart, Im sorry really, my Friend !

Can happen that there are some negative days. And that the out brain can be had. And particularly in the dangerous job of tools and handlings.
Friend Mart, has been all right luckily, indeed for your life. Very better also for your leg.
I hope only that you are very careful when you are not in great form during the man days.

Also I always have moments depressed in my job and family. And for the stupidity of my colleagues they have me almost ruined my life. When I tried to work and to think only for me and my mother.
At times we have to have a double strength against what is fatal.

Your right Anoree, i have been asking myself what came over me to climb that stack. Especially knowing how dangerous it can be, At the time i was a bit angry at having to check pack numbers when they should have been checked already. Even now i still can't believe i climbed five packs high just to get the "bill of laden numbers". If there's an award for the stupidest forman, then i won first prize this morning. What makes me angry at the moment is thinking back to the moment of climbing and actually thinking, i shouldn't be doing this and i still did it.(

at myself) at least i can guarantee to myself, i'll never do that again.
Thanks Anoree, Ugo, although i really don't think i deserve too much sympathy

True Mart.
At times we are taken to do more assignments of job that don't belong us to do him. We have to be careful to the cunning ones.
