My framing hammer knocked me flat on my vertical smile for that stunt. "Where's my freakin' hammer".....WAM!!! This is a pretty big club, huh?

Maybe your screen name should have been Newton

Glad you didnt get seriously hurt. Not dumb, just absent minded for a split second, thats all it takes sometimes though. Youre lucky.

Anyone ever shoot arrows straight in the air when you were a kid, cmon fess up, or was I the only stupid one that did that. The adrenalin would really start pumpin when you lost sight of it and it was on the way back down, I would run away with my hands over my head. Couple times it came down right in front of me,buried 5 inches in the ground. THAT was some dumb arse chit. Throwing the Lawn darts AT your fiends was another potential Darwin award .

but if you stayed where you shot it up it would be almost impossible you have been hit . its all about trajectory .

back some years I removed the old shakes on my house and resided with new shingles . I had 2 12 foot step ladders with 2 X12 12' stretched between them . I needed a few more inches of support and moved one ladder a little too far . I dont know how long I was on the ground ( no one was home ) . but I sure had a sore head . maybe thats part of my problem .

Stupid ladder tricks... pulled a few of those myself.. uh... never think that grabbing the aluminum gutter will stop your fall, slows ya down a bit as you pull it off the house, but it don't stop ya... don't ask me how I know this

Glad your OK, and that you didn't "thru drill" yourself


Yeah Jake, it's a big club, easy to join too
