I had a workout at the shack too. Was cutting a fenceline when I punched my Husqvarna chainsaw into my thigh. 18 stitches (three on the inside)and I was back the next day to finish the job. With Kevlar chaps this time...

Ouch! That had to hurt.
Yes. that F'n hurt. Day five and it still f'n hurts. Worst part was on day two when I pulled the saw out of the truck to start cutting again. Chain brake had fired. No comfort in that. Too little too late. And each tooth had a little piece of blue jeans and other undescribable horrors on it. I had to lop up a couple of oak tree branches just to floss the bar. Then I filed it and got to work. Creepy.
Boys, don't underestimate safety. Work slow and thoughtfull. Keep your first aid kit handy. A half mile is a little far to go. And charge your cell phone. Lonely when there's only one battery bar - and you're afraid to waste it on 911. You save it for your family. Chainsaw chaps are not for whimps. They're for men who work hard. Lessons learned. Let me learn for you.
