Finger

[golden optimist]

Dumb-ass, dumb-ass, dumb-ass!

This is what happens when you try to stop a 6.5 hp honda by sticking your finger into the T-80 pully. Doesn't work!

I have some really graphic picutres from the emergency ward if I can figure out how to get them out of my phone. These are worse than my wild turkey attack. 6 stiches across the pad of the finger and lucky it came out as good as it did.

Here's a picture taken by Dave's daughter after she could quit laughing.

At least it was on the left hand as I'm right handed.

It was on Mountain Man Dave's Proline. You know, the one with all of the pully stuff wide open in the front. Yes, it came with a bely guard but no, I've never seen one on his dredge. My Keene has the guard safely in place.

OUCH!!

I think a stick would've been a better choice to stop the engine, but that just me!!!

But just think you now have the perfect hand to salute the present leader of the country, the Dr. did tell you to keep your hand elevated didn't he !!!
