Broke my typing/wiping/driving finger

[Grant Lamontagne]

So... Is it safe to assume that next year you'll have a paint stirring stick dummy corded to the snow blower by next winter?

Might be a good idea if the manufacturers fitted something like that as standard.

Get well soon, Bob.

They do now, but my guess is if Bob's blower predates warning labels it probably also predates the little plastic shovels too.

I have 6 uncles on my mom's side.  Oddly only my Uncle Bob has lost digits in machinery (baler to be precise--but not unlike a snowblower).  Maybe it's a "Guy named Bob" sort of thing...

Weird... I have an Uncle named Bob that's missing half his foot.  Maybe it is a guy named Bob thing!

[turnsouth]

Sorry to hear your misfortune Bob, hope it gets better soon

(P.S. I also want to apologize for laughing through about 2/3 of this thread )

My dad lost about half of his finger that way.  We found it a few weeks later when our dog came trotting up to the house carrying Dad's mitten with the finger inside.   

[Beerplumber]

Geez you really must hate blowing snow if you did that to get out of it! If that feels like a stranger doing your bum work for you maybe you should consider asking a close friend to help you. Anyways it could've been worse it could've been an MT. Multis don't belong in snowblowers either. :p Get well soon Bob!


Stay multi my friends

Oouch Bob..  Hope it heals quick..

Is he a retriever?

Eeew! Good thing the dog didn't start chewing on it!


So is your dad named Bob too?!

My kids just told me a joke (I'd heard it before, but the context is more appropriate now)


What's the name of the guy with no arms and no legs that goes swimming?

Bob.

What do you call a guy with a seagull on his head?

Man, that sucks!  That would be horrible for me, that's my most-used finger!

.... anyone else ever try clearing their driveway with a pumpkin? 

Nah, didn't think so.  

It's the sea air, you know. Does strange things to you. Just look at Def 


 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Well there was one time with a squash but I'm sure the pumpkin would have worked better.

Yeah, some of those pumpkins have really sharp teeth and a vicious streak a mile wide.

[badwolf]

OUCH, very nasty but kinda lucky, could have been a lot worse, hope it all heals well.

I grabbed a handful of snow, wadded my finger into it

Quick thinking Bob.

I used a little bio oil with a drop a lavender mixed in - good healing agents

If nuphoria's remedy doesn't help, the age old classic of 'salt and vinegar' works at treat

Soak it in cider.

Yikes Bob that is quite the paper cut  .


This snow malarkey sounds like a bit of a inconsonance  . My nose got quite badly burnt last week 


Bob I thought you were going to get one of these  .

Damn, I had one of those on my Christmas wish list Mat, but Mrs Santa didn't come thru. Maybe after the finger repair bill shows up next month Mrs Santa will be a bit more inclined to let me upgrade


Speaking of the finger, two weeks later and its looking mostly pink again. Pain is still there when I bang it on something (which happens about every five minutes) but other than that its not too bad. At least I can start to do things left-handed again.

typing: 60%
wiping: 70%
driving: 100%

Well at least it gave you some practice on using the correct hand to do things.
