This page is dedicated to all of the substantial injuries that I incur.  In order to achieve a place on such a prestigious page, there must be a substantial amount of blood (and I must have my camera on hand when I do it).

		Date: 6-15-03 Description: While attempting to install a circuit breaker, I stab myself in the finger with a flathead screwdriver Status: Healed quite nicely.
		Date: 7-15-03 Description: I was throwing out some linoleum like material with some hidden nails in it when this happened.  As I was tossing it in the dumpster, one of the nails gave me a real nice puncture wound in the arm.  It didn't really hurt at all but blood was flowing freely.  Status: I couldn't even find the spot the next day.  Score.
		Date: 7-16-03 Description: This was actually two separate incidents although only separated by about 3 minutes.  The first one - while sawing through a cluster of 2x4's in the second floor hallway, another 2x4 shoddily affixed to the ceiling came crashing down on my head.  Luckily, all the nails missed.  The second, was after rubbing my head from that, I moved the ladder I was standing on and the hammer that I left on top of said 8 foot ladder came crashing into my cranium.  It bled very freely for approximately one beer. Status: I feel sort of funny . . .
		Date: 1-08-04 Description: After many months of not getting hurt in the house, it happened again. This particular injury was from plumbing. Yes plumbing. Over Christmas break I opted to replumb basically the entire basement. What you see is actually a burn caused by the solder. I was working on a pipe and without thinking about it, I let the solder touch my hand. Well, it was hot enough to do that. Status: It left a mark.
		Date: 1-18-04 Description: This one is a bit stranger then the others. While setting the glass block windows in the sauna, I habitually use my left middle finger to set the joint. Well, mid way through the job, we switched mortar types. Bad idea, the new stuff was super caustic and didn't take long to eat a hole through my finger. The rest of my hand didn't look so hot either. Status: Well, I'm missing my finger print there.
		Date: 5-8-04 Description: Well, this one is pretty simple: I bounced a piece of firewood off my head while trying to prove I was cool.  The only thing it really hurt was my ego. Status: I'm going to bleed all over my pillow.
		Date: 5-22-04 Description: In my fight against evil plumbing, I do occasionally sustain injuries.  In this instant, my crescent wrench slipped off something and banged my pinky into something else (no idea what).  The finger nail is not too happy. Status: This is the injury that just keeps on giving . . . and giving . . . until my finger nail grows back.
		Date: 11-13-04 Description: Wiring.  It got me again.  This time I was wiring up the 4-way switch on the 3rd floor when I slipped and proceeded to shove some 12 gauge wire half way up my arm via my thumb. Status: Just like a hang nail plus some blood on the pillow, no evidence remains of this injury.
