EarltheScroller Posted June 4, 2016 Report Posted June 4, 2016 We're RVing right now...and was setting up the trailer in the rain. Hurrying along I put the jacks down with the DeWalt like I always do. Makes fast work. But not paying attention, I'm leaning over the drill, the jack hits the ground, I'm not holding the drill solidly, the drill spins out of my hand and the 18 v battery part flies into my face! Not real smart. In fact, really dumb! Thats what 76 years of wisdom gets me. LOL Quote
Lucky2 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Posted June 4, 2016 Ouch, is right, thankfully, it wasn't worse. Things like this can happen so quickly, you always have to be cautious. Take care, and hopefully your a quick healer. Len Quote

jerry1939 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Posted June 4, 2016 Earl, This too shall pass. Hopefully quickly. In the mean time, you "friends" will be asking, "Was it domestic violence?" I'm 74 and have yet to find an intelligent way to hurt myself. It has always been preceded by something stupid I did. jerry amazingkevin and LarryEA 2 Quote
