I was cutting some industrial warehouse support beams (sawzall would have been the better tool but didn’t have mine handy). There was no shelves on the beam I was cutting, but as soon as I finished the cut, the weight of the beam itself pinched my blade and launched the entire grinder at my face. I wasn’t using the handle and didn’t have the grip strength to hold on. I’m fine now. 2 hours in the ER and 7 stitches and I was back to work finishing up my cuts. It’s now setting in how bad it could have ended for me. And honesty I feel very strange about the entire thing.

After waiting for catastrophe when the MB tech set his fancy equipment on a “Mobile Workstation.” The guy bragging about his kardweb Beemer software acquisition getting tricked into revealing his source was the payoff.

No, actually this was the payoff this week.

Kinja'd!!!
