Well, you see, there was this tree. A weeping cherry tree. It has s secondary trunk that was diseased and needed to be removed. It was about the thickness of a fungo bat and 12 – 15 feet long.
I sawed it off with a pruning saw then went about cutting it up so I could put it out with the trash. I was down to one last section of the trunk. It was about six feet long. I laid it on the grass and hit it several times with an axe. The last whack split it in two.
One half of the log flew up, spinning end over end, and smacked me in the forehead. There was blood. Lots of blood.
Luckily I had a clean paper towel in my pocket. I applied pressure to the wound and got it to stop bleeding after ten minutes.
It turned out that the cut was small. To be on the safe side I drove to the ER which is 1/2 mile from my house.
I’m fine. I have a headache. And a boo boo. They closed it with glue.
It could have been a lot worse.
I think I’ll go for a ride tomorrow. It’s safer.

Is the root chopper review board considering disciplinary action for this breach of process? seriously I hope you heal up quick and are back to chopping up the miles soon.
People say bicycling is dangerous but yard work can mess you up big time
Quite a knot you have there …
It’s worse now. We’re having so much fun.
That’s why men should not do yard work. Leave that to the woman and stay in the kitchen where we belong.
Actually my wife does most of the yard work.
Ohh no! Glad you’re ok!!
Somebody said I now have a Harry Potter scar. LUMOS!
