The Descriptive Process

[northmanlogging]

He's was the third try at finding someone to even let me in the door... and he was nice enough to not poke around or make me wait for the Novacain... it was starting to swell and leak by then...

He was pretty new... and seemed to enjoy it...

I was running from a noisy event and bounced off the big end of a butt log, drove a DF splinter right through the middle of the first joint of my trigger finger. Yep, glove and all. I clipped off the ends, cut the finger of the glove off, tried to pull it out with vice grips, no go. Had old Doc Thornton give it a try, he pinned my finger over a table edge and drove it out using an awl. He got most of it, but resorted to a scalpel to get the rest, 6 stitches to close it up.

Mine is just a teenie one. Otherwise, I'd have probably gotten it out. It probably wouldn't even hurt if I left it alone. Which I think I will do today. Today might warm up enough to do some epoxying on The Cathair Boat.

bought me a shiny new 36" stihl es light bar this morning, fell one maple, and bent/crushed it.... tweeked the last 6" or so and collapsed the chain rails...

But I got the maple to swing 90 deg and miss the drain feild...

 

[treeslayer2003]

Oh that just stinks!

They're good.

They're pretty good, what happened would have messed up regular bar too... dutched the off side something fierce so while she went over is sat down hard on the bar...

 

[northmanlogging]

I was able to iron it out most of the way, has a bit of dent in the hollow spot, but I think I can live with that.

That's always the catch with that. Too much protrusion and ,wham, the bar is bent. Just like doctors we keep "practicing".

Falling uphill whole day, quartering it to the left. It only came to me as driving back home, that I have dipped my right knee into the wet snow +100 times.

Can a kneecap catch cold? Feels like that, anyway.

Hey is Huskstihl stihl on here?

Maybe some of you guys could help me figure something out. I have been having problems with my left hand. I run 8 hour days and when I get done and almost to the house my left hand draws up like a massive charlie horse and distorts my hand into looking like a withered claw. I am not getting charlie horses anywhere else so I am ruling out dehydration.

I fractured that same hand 2 months ago and didn't go get treatment, I could still manage to start my saw and hold it so I just tried to make it work. With the said hand healing from injury...the cramping of said hand feels as if my fracture is gonna crack back open...very painful even though it only lasts no more than a minute and only happens once or twice a day.

Have any of you guys ever experienced hand cramping such as I have described? If so, do you know anything I could take to help it stay away while the fracture continues to try and heal?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and Randy...yer a bad ass, no doubt brother! WHOOT!

 

[treeslayer2003]

nerve damage.........yea, i have had some trouble with it but not bad. i suspect you screwed somthing up in there when ya broke it.
Jon will be along at some point.

I can get tendonitis from carpentry or being on the saw. That sounds waaay worse.

Sorry mang. :0(

 

[twochains]

Nerve damage is tricky, I'm sure Jon will have some suggestions.

 

[treeslayer2003]

IDK other than pain pills..........i'll put up with alot before taking any thing..........i believe in my own body fixing itself.
i worked with a guy in his 60s once, his hands were permenent claws. he weren't the greatest faller but he would work his ass off.

 

[twochains]
