I worked one day last month with JH and Stinky, installing a computer
and VoIP network. I was installing jacks on the Cat5 cable and testing
the cable to verify proper operation. The Cat5 cable tested almost as
good as Cat6 so I knew we did a good job. I had been getting up and down
to install jacks and test the network so I put a lot of stress on my
joints. It took me two weeks to recover from that job. I spent part of
two days this month helping install a wireless IP camera system for
a guy and I remarked to JH that I couldn't understand why I was in so
much pain while we were driving home. I finally realized that while I
wasn't climbing a ladder or running the power cable, I had gotten under
the desk a number of times to get the computer, the DVR and KVM switch
working. The house also had a flight of stairs going out back that I had
negotiated several times while testing the system. I tend to concentrate
on what I'm doing and before I became very ill and was working on big
installations, I would look down and see that I was bleeding wondering
where in the hell the blood came from and when did I get cut. I only
hurt when I stop working and the pain gets my attention. o_O

TDD

Hey, I had the same thing going on with me this morning. Why am I so sore?
Then I remembered that I helped my neighbor tear a ride on mower apart.
He got it for free, and it has parts that match one of his other ride on
mowers. So, off comes the deck, out comes the engine, then the sun set and
it started to get cold. Homie don't like the cold when it is not sunny out.
I don't, either. :-)

I remember running fence and when I got to the Casino's break room for lunch the
cocktail waitresses would just stare at me. I would look down and see all of this
blood running down my arms from the barbed wire. Oh, I guess I need to wash up
before I go to the buffet...

My fav was while trying to tighten the set-screw for the pilot bit of a hole-saw.
I could have swore I put the drill motor in neutral...oops, where did my fingernail
go? Whatever, a few wraps of electrical tape later...LOL!

I have been nicked so many times and wondered WT? When did that happen?

Of course, one could reference the movie Predator.
