What did you do today?

[MoeM]

Guess you`ll be OK soon Roy^^

[stringstretcher]

Hey Roy, How many days on your countdown?

I've got minimum 11,044 days including weekends holidays and vacation. I think it's like 7200 days of work. Not too bad I guess, as though I have a choice.

[Troy D. Breeding]

Keep doing things like that Roy and you'll only be able to count to 4-1/2" on one hand.      

[Roy from Pa]

16 days counting today:) I'm getting excited.

[jsweka]

Good for you Roy!

I've got 5277 more working days to go.  I don't know what sounds longer, that or 21 years.

[goobersan]

15 years for me. that's if I can keep all the skin on my knuckles    

[kennym]

City Lake, Dave !  :D  

Get a real belt Roy! A 36 grit, then you can bleed manly like!!  

[Beanbag]

Yea! those 36 er's really take it off! lol just a touch works. BTW it only hurts till the pain goes away lol

I always where mechanics gloves when I'm working on a glass bow mostly to keep from getting fiberglass splinters, but last weekend when I was grinding the profile of bow I ran my hand into the sander three different times.  Glad I had my gloves on or I would have been bleeding all over the bow.

I can't talk, I nearly lost a fingernail to a plane working on my bow.  All I have is a little hand plane, which cuts beautifully with no dust, but it's also as sharp as the Devil's tongue and a bit unwieldy (way too small for my hand) and there went half of my left middle nail.  My wife said she'll buy me a surform just to keep me from supergluing myself back together constantly.  

I say if I went right back to working it can't be that bad.  Even put out gravel in the driveway today.  

Sanders, now those are bad business.  I like my tools stationary.  I'll do the work.

Dear Bobbie. What the heck is that supposed to be?  I don't see no wood there Son..      

Ya know what? For me it would not be a day in the bow shop without a cut or a bruise. And being an old timer on the blood thinner, man when I get cut, it looks like a blood trail all around the shop floor. Sometimes on bad days, even out the shop door, up the cellar steps and into the bathroom for Medical Attention. LMAO.

But hell, that's called having a good time. I'm not gonna wear no sissy pants protect my pinky finger gloves like Sewka Boy does... LOL

[razorback]

Now Roy, you leave my Aussie brother alone or we will send you some Foster's and you will find out why we export that stuff. if your not careful we'll call your wife and have her hide the band-aids and your blood trail might end in a wrinkled old fart lying on the bathroom floor with a leather skirt wrapped around his little boo boo.

[Roy from Pa]

Tony, that will be enuff outta you son:)

[razorback]

Hey Roy, Just 2 weeks left for you to come up my way and look at your arra's hanging on the wall with the other cool stuff. Then they go to a nice home in the north woods.

[jsweka]

Yeah, call me a sissy, but I can't stand those microscopic little bits of fiberglass that get in your hands and drive ya nuts.  Besides, I get yelled at enough by the wife without dripping blood everywhere.
