Okay guys. Get this.
At about 1pm today I was loading my Scout onto the trailer after hooking the trailer to my 'burb. I begin to srive up when I hear a bang, smash, crash!!!! I look forward and notice the tongue of my trailer poking through my newly broken rear window just over the huge crease in the 'burb's tailgate. SHIT!! I forgot to throw the pin to connect the ball to the tongue.
So, I drive the Scout off the trailer and go inspect the carnage. The tongue is about 5' in the air right through the window. I break off some glass and drag the trailer out when it slips out of my hand and falls the 5' onto my sandal clad right foot. Now, the tongue easily weighs 300-400 pounds and it fell ATLEAST 5' onto my bare foot. Mother fawking OUCH!! It hurt more than anything I can remember including two years ago when a cable snapped and broke my right leg, and more than last year when the 8" grinder slipped out of my hand, cut my face open and exploded into my mouth. No problem. I'll walk it off ;)
The pain began subsiding so I continued getting ready to leave tomorrow. Then at about 3pm the pain came back and kept getting worse. Off to the doc I go who sent me directly to emergency. Shit. So, off I go.
Well, I just got home after finding out I I broke my big toe and severely crushed/damaged the soft tissue from the arch of my foot forward. They even used a heat drill to drill two hole through my toe nail to allow some blood to ooze out and relieve pressure. I'm also wearing a hard sole funky shoe. But, hey. I have my extra-strength vicodin and a fresh margarita to keep me comfortable for tonight atleast.
Anyway, needless to say, I'm not going to make it this weekend. I can barely walk and can no way push a brake or gas pedal. So, you guys have fun and give the sluice a run for me.
