Spent the better part of this morning tearing down an old and out of service HF antenna… Got pretty darn dirty.

When I finished up and went inside the building to clean up, I lifted my sleeves and started washing my hands and arms in nice, hot, soapy water... I dry my hands, and then

<boom!!!>It hit me.. the familiar pain of 1million needles piercing my skin.

I let it slip my mind that many of the antenna components are made of fiberglass.

FML....</boom!!!>

Ouch…

That sounds pretty awful. The huge irony of course is that in any decent European country you wouldn’t have to work at all today because it is the 1st of May.

I'm a dirty American… I would still be at work.....

That did occur to me [emoji1]

All I'm doing today is watching the Socialist Worker's Marching band parade through my street, open some beers, and make a pizza.

Labour day baby!.

My bike tumble ended up being more than a twisted ankle after a couple xrays

So I’m about to get it fixed in an hour or so. Doctor says he’ll put in a couple screws and stitch up some ligaments. Should be ready to ride again in two months. Imagine not wearing IH denim for six weeks; it’ll suck.

Would have loved to participate in this week’s WAYWT but I’ll do it on the next one @neph93 !

Ooph… heal up well @motojobobo , there’ll be another time.

[UnTucked]

Ouch!

Drink milk… I hear it helps bones

@motojobobo get well soon.

I suppose it could have been worse, you could have had some Iron Heart clothing cut off

Wish you a speedy recovery!!!

Nice bed….

[Sage954]

Looks like you are in good hands. Get well fast

[Chris]

I'm impressed that you were hobbling around on it for this long…

@Giles where was this available? My wife’s parents from Japan got this for me for my birthday and I didn’t see it on the online store. Is it a Japanese site piece?

Haraki made a few, we did not take any.  We may do if he has some left…

[tfahey00]

Ahhhh so I have a rare piece! I wonder where my in-laws got it! There was another design too. Nice.

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes. I’m back home now. This what the ankle looks like now

I think this repair job is an overkill for the damage at hand. I suspect a regular old cast would have accomplished the same result at 20% of the cost. Same reason so many births are c-sections nowadays. Anyhow, foot is on the mend.

Congrats to all the cool outfits during WAYWT week. Enjoying your pics made my downtime at the clinic more bearable.

Was it a clean break? I had pins put in my elbow 19 yrs ago after a bicycling accident. A cast probably wouldn’t have helped
