Well, with the sudden shutdown here in Az, gyms are closed as of tonight. BS, but fine, F'k it, whatever. Well, wife and daughter have been going to the gym. Daughter dearest is trying to get into shape to do pull-ups and such for a physical test for her school of choice. Well then, lat-pulls are a must. In a storage trailer, I just so happened to have a BodySolid weight machine setup...this is where things get both painful, and amusing.
The trailer is a semi trailer, dock height. I was going to use the tractor, in true hillbilly style. F'r had a flat. Well, I had loaded it without one, so I figured on doing the same. I backed a pickup near the trailer, and set up a utv ramp. Well, still, all going well at that point. Well, when moving stupid heavy stuff by myself, I sometimes use crowbars. Now you may see some issues a brewing.
In the midst of inching the behemoth down the ramp, something went awry, in lightening quick fashion. I don't really know how, or what happened. The handle of the crow bar slipped from my hand. That much I'm pretty sure of. Then I saw a blinding white light, and heard a familiar crunch in the bridge of my nose. In my moment of pain, in the bright light, I'm pretty sure I saw Jesus...and he was laughing at me.
Well, I think I broke my nose. Not the first time, but first self inflicted. My kids said my nose looked a little "off"... I took a bunch of ibuprofen, and can breath out of one nostril pretty good. We'll see what the morning brings with swelling or bruising. Wife and daughter are happy though.
Echoing in my head, "Good job, Dumbass!"
