county mowing crew made boo-boo

[EddieWalker]

They are mowing around here the last few days. I came home to four big JD's with batwings parked in front of my house and a service truck. I don't know what they were doing, but everywhere we looked, it seemed somebody was mowing. This is the third day of it and I'm really enjoying seeing them work. I'm just impressed as heck with what they can do and the angles they mow on. Seeing four of them going along just behind each other and to the side is TOO COOL !!!!!!!

Hey Soundguy,...sorry I should have mentioned this before but "seriously" an open wound like that,..if you pour white granulated sugar right into the wound, it will kill germs, become an antibiotic and heal up in no time. That is from my own personal experience, numerous times. Honey will do the same. Just change the dressing often and you'll be amazed!!

I have an old First Nations elder, friend who taught me that many years ago and believe me it works!

Just so the sugar doesn't pour all over the floor,...mix it with a tiny bit of Betadine (a few drops only) and stir it into a paste, then apply it and cover with a bandage.

The best to you,

PS: Eddie,...talk about precision working machines,...up here in winter the snow plows gang up on the multi-lane highways,...8 or 10 trucks, one behind the other slightly offset to overlap the others windrow ,...all moving at speed and snow just-a-flyin,..quite a sight!! But especially at night like a row of moving Christmas trees ha, ha!

AHH you cut your hand and you are bashing the county worker!!!

my knif accident didn't endanger 45000$ of taxpayer equipment, cost of the 2 vehicles near him ( 40k$?? ) the life of the operator of that equipment, the lives of both drivers of the vehicles in the near lanes to him as he whipped the tractor around and over the median in high gear , high rpm, nor the cleanup and associated ems costs had an incident occured, plus the loss of time / work for that crew that day.

so yes.. I made a mistake reaching into a dark bag and minorly injured myself.. the other guy made a pretty good error thast at least endangerd 3 lives if not more plus a whole lot of liability for machinery and vehicles..

Some of the guys who mow are real operators and can mow areas that I wouldn't want to put a billy goat on, others out there mowing...

Who knows, maybe someone left a used needle in there?

The operators that impress me are the combine ones. Seeing them run cutting a crop and unloading at the same time is impressive. Not sure if the combine driver is the great one or the truck driver or it really is a great team effort.

As to soundguy cutting his hand was a bad move as proven by the results. Will say if his worst decision in life he had done much better than me. I made about same dumb move a couple of years back reaching for a blade on lawn mower, it was a sharp as a razor and had no issue slicing my finger. No stitches but so clean it left no scar. The one place men often fail to checking to be sure it is safe is shoes or boots...spiders like them and can be fatal slipping a foot on top of some of them.

thanks.

nuisance on the hand.. can't get dressing wet... and I'm right handed.. so it makes 80% of what I do more difficult.. etc. GRRR

now who would have left that boning knife half out of the scabbard in my shooting supply duffle bag????

soundguy

Our dishwasher broke and we have to manually wash dishes until we buy a new one (I'll survive, I suppose) and my wife has a habit of tossing her very, very sharp kitchen knives into the soapy water for me to find.

Hope you heal up well.

Egon,
You have me and Soundguy confused again. Soundguy is the one with the animals and tractors... I'm the seamstress.
