Anywyay... Rob was going to help his oldest daughter (Keri) make caraccas for a school project. His youngest daughter (Britney) wanted to help, too. So after he had partially opened the can and removed the greend beans from within, he drilled a hole in the bottom & prepared to intsall a wooden dow rod for the handle. He got it lined up & told Britney to sink the screw through the bottom of the can & into the wooden dowel rod. She did exactly as he said & it worked great... until the screw bottomed out & caused the can to spin in Rob's hand.
What followed was lot's of blood, Rob nearly passing out, Kristi (Rob's wife) making a trip to the emergency room where Rob squirted blood everywhere before receiving 29 stitches & then getting a nice buzz from the Lortabs. Sounds like fun, huh?! Well I can assure that Rob didn't have any fun, but thank God he still has all 5 fingers, though. The cut is about 1-1/2" deep & he goes to the orthopaedic specialist on Thursday to find out what, if any, muscle & nerve damage there is. Nerve damage or not, I think he can still pick his nose if he needs to.
So... the lesson to learn here kiddo's is don't be a dumb a$$ and hold the spinning end of a green bean can with the lid still attached to it!!! Put it in a vise, then drill it & screw it.
In all seriousness, be careful out there kiddos!!! The slightest little miscue can be quite dangerous. Please think twice about what your getting ready to do & take your time.
You see, Rob doesn't get to help me paint or move furniture now due to his accident & I want to make sure I can still count on the rest of you if I need you this week or next. :-)
