last night I had a few hours and decided to cut...did not take the time to wear ppe (face shield to be exact) and what do you know...
I was cutting a limb about chest high and caught a sapling about the diameter of a #2 pencil...anyway to get to the point of the story somehow it wipped aroung and caught me right accross the face I had no idea what just happened other than my lips felt like I had just caught the hind leg of a mule...Eyes were watering...I shut off the saw and headed back to the truck (might as well fuel up while I was not working) and my lips were swollen up almost twice the size and I have this wonderful bruise accross my face...two inches higher and I wonder if I could see this morning...
Won't be making that mistake again soon. I feel like a fool but am glad to be able to learn a lesson without loosing more than my pride. By the way, my wife was kind enough to point out the ignorance of my ways just in case I didn't really learn. What a kind lady...
Bottom line...if you got it wear it...if you don't got it get it then wear it.
