Unhappy Thread

My wife informed me last night that everything in the freezer section of our kitchen refrigerator was thawing out. I took the panels off, vacuumed all the crud off the coils, made sure the compressor was running, and checked it this morning. Everything was more thawed. Stuck one of the Govees from a humidor in the fridge, got myself all cleaned up, and checked the temp: 56.1. Moved everything into the basement fridge and freezer, unplugged the upstairs one, and called the appliance folks. They'll try to get to it today, but it may be Monday.

That sucks! watch for water under the fridge as the frost melts in the freezer. No need to make a bad deal worse.

You ever do something that you know could turn out bad, but you keep going?

I'm making a box joint jig, for my table saw and the dado is a little tight to slide a piece in. So I was using some sharp ass chisels to try and clean up the edges/shave a little bit off so the piece could fit in the dado slot. As I was holding the piece down on my table saw with my left hand and working the chisel towards my left hand, with my right, I thought to myself. "Self, if this chisel somehow comes out of this dado joint, it's going to be bad for that left pointer finger."

Sure as shit, the chisel hopped out of the dado slot and into my left finger, leaving a chisel width cut/slice in my finger. Blood everywhere, had to grab the roll of shop towels to stop the bleeding. Finally stop the bleeding, come inside and look for bandaids. Had to use part of a shop towel and shipping tape, to drive to friggin' Walgreens to get bandaids.

That could just as well be my motto.

My motto for a number of years has been, “It’s not an official job until I let some blood out!” Damn if it doesn’t pan out most of the time. Hope ya heal up quickly, @bfreebern !

This crap happens to me so much anymore that I take extra caution when doing anything with or near anything sharp. Guess what, doesn’t matter, I still cut myself anyway.
