signs and wind dont mix...



yesterday about an hour after making a joke about a sign falling and knocking my dick to atlanta, i had a little work related accident....






i was standing there getting some bolts together to mount a 8' x 15' pylon sign weighing approx. 1500lbs, when good ol momma nature sneezed or coughed or farted and sent a gust of wind into the sign which was standing on the ground behind me. (note: i had just gotten over an eye burn from cutting steel with a torch that popped melted metal into my face where i had to wear an eye patch for a weekend) and you know that big bitch had the nerve to fall over on top of me. i was stopped from hitting the ground by a 5" x 5" steel pipe that acted like an impaler and cought me dead center in the chest.
this dude on the left is not me... its a friend of a friend who also got got in his eye with something sketchy...


a few hours later and i was out of the emergency room and on a hotel room bed. i am now on 5 different medications and scheduled to return home friday. i am too stubborn to stop working. i got off super lucky with only bruised ribs a bruised sternam and a bunch of scrapes... i also still have a vendetta against that sign. keep checking back for rad news instead of medical updates.
