    Hope you kept it stuck in long enough to rule out Covid. Might as well make lemonade. (Keep in mind this is coming from someone who took the tip of their finger off with a router table a few weeks ago.)

    I did similar....was doing a quick weld job to make a tool I needed...welded one side, and as I tried to flip it over so I could weld the other side it fell over and I grabbed it.....bare handed......


    I did let go really really quickly.....and then proceeded to say things I'm not sure I ever said before.....

    Yea, that's a pretty good moronic move. Two weeks ago I took my phone from my pocket to look at the time and somehow the phone, all of one month old (I-phone 11), ended up in very deep water in Smith Mountain Lake. Even though I was standing in what is supposed to be my yard and I was at least 30 feet from the bank. A combination of being a klutz, a strategically placed piece of granite, a phone that bounces more than you could possibly imagine, and a very steep hill/cliff. I'd wager the entire episode took 0.25 seconds. But at least it didn't leave a mark.

    I pride myself on having some very good sharp knives ( Sabatier). Slicing an onion into rings last week I noticed some red. I had shaved some of my left (give the) finger off.
    Oops.
