Sumabich!!!

So this morning I was across the pond with mt tractor, shovel an d dig bar to dig a biggish hole for a pine I bought and had about 3/4s bucket of dirt from the hole... Seein' as I weren't gonna need the dig bar any more I did what I always do with it and slid it over the rear tractor fenders between the lights and the ROPS (Roll Over Protection System, i.e. roll bar)... Done it a million times, right???

So I was headed back to get everything I needed to plant with and remembered a hole down in the woods next the the creek that sho nuff wanted that load of dirt dumped in it so...

...down I went with it, dumped it in the hole and was headed out when my tractor and dig bar figured that this was a golden opportunity to try to kill me for all the abuse I've given the two of 'um over the years so...

...at the precise moment that I had some steam getting ready to pull the hill outta the woods the dig bar slid just enough to catch a tree and used the ROPS as a fulcrum and became a WMD intent on takin' me out...

Well, there's good news and bad news here... The good news is that it didn't hit me in the head or I'd sho nuff be either dead or a veggie-hillbilly... The bad news is that it hit my left arm so hard that I thought it had broke it... That was 5 hours ago and I have just gotten home from the Emergency Care, fortunately without a broken arm but with a major "contusion" all wrapped up in a sling and a bottle of good pain pills...

Like I said, "Sumabich"...

The tractor and dig bar out there giggling but ***I WILL*** get even... Not tomorrow, mind you, but when they least expect it...
