Bull Ride

[toadfrog]

Well guys I was just the victim of a freak accident Thursday . I was mowing the back 2 acres . Had just finished and cranked the rider up to full bore Zooming around getting the whiskers and weeds I missed the first time . My back yard has fescue which is tuff as steel and grows in deeply rooted clumps . Now some may or may not know that a riding mower has a single deck adjustment rod going from the deck to the front of the mower. It only hooks into a flange and held by a washer and a cotter pin . Long story short this thing came out dropping the front edge of the deck into the dirt hanging on one of those giant clumps of grass . The result of that and a full speed approach brought the mower to a complete STOP . Beat the heck out of my shins and knee caps . Then the rear end came up throwing me out of the seat and over the side . I didn't get cut up scratched up or anything. But I do feel like a run over puppy in the middle of the HWY . Day or two I'll cripple out there and see if my junk is still hanging in the steering wheel . The way I feel I had to loose some kind of body part .

If you already had the yard cut...... at least you made it 8 seconds! Not to kick you when you are down of course, but if you don't laugh, you don't live.

Hope you mend up quickly - that does not sound like a fun ride.

shot to the nuts is better than losing a hand I guess? hard to tie with only one hand I'd imagine...

Sorry to hear of you accident Toady. Hope that you get to feeling better as there is going to be Thunderstorms rolling thur your area again. Us old guys have a harder time of picking ourselves up for those accidents that we were when we were young. Hang on to all those body parts you may still need them all.

Think I would rather be thrown by a horse than a lawn mower, at least the horse runs away after he steps on you!!!
Hope you recover soon.

Bring on them storms . It's dry as a popcorn fart here . I can only get blown to OZ or struck by lightning . At this point I ain't scared of NOTHIN. I got 2 more lives out of nine left .

Toad, If you haven't missed those parts by now, you weren't using them anyway. They wouldn't be good after that long in the sun. Glad you didn't get hurt any worse.
