    Right now I have an unkown elbow injury I developed from weight lifting. I was increasing the ammount of weight I was doing rapidly but it seems something somewhere was not keeping up and now I have a grip strength of 170pound in my right hand and 30 in my left. it hurts to lift anything up with it. Physical therapy is not helping so next come the images and then we will determine if they need to cut me....

      Hated.

      I also get a recurring elbow/ forearm injury. It's the tendons below the elbow on the inside. Smearing thin-set and grout on floor tile jobs seems to do me in. It hurts for a couple months after doing a 2 day tile job. So I don't do tile anymore. Simply not worth it.

            In the past week.....minor injuries, but I'm thinking we should buy stock in Band-Aids....

            Working on Red, tightening the caliper mount...bolt broke.....major blood. Big slice out of the pinky finger on the right hand. Don't even know what part of the undercarriage I hit with it, never will. No stitches, just another scar.

            Putting the wheels on today. I had no idea a pull handle/socket setup has a pinch point on it. It sure does. Blood blister, pop it, another Band Aid.

            And Barry the UPS guy delivered Unit's Valentine roses this afternoon. Got cut on the front storm door latch. "Hey Barry!" Oh, scuse me I'm bleeding. Another-nuther Band Aid. I'm scared to move. I might get killed.

              Was trying to remove some old exhaust tubing off the Imperial last night. Pipe gave way, I ended up smashing fingers between metal and subframe.

              The middle finger on my right hand has a nice purple nail now.
