nailed it ^^ you can see the trailor role to the right, (had to be air bag suspension) i don't know what these guys were thinking, or if they were ? my guess would be a bit of liquid courage was involved ...

good eye. yeah i believe there were 3 people, also looks like the driver tried to turn the bars, but the front end was off the ground, I'll try and get some single pics from the clip.

had a small mishap loading the furness last night ... i stepped away from chat, for coffee, and to stuff some logs in the dragon , wouldn't have thought using a pare of gloves would cause an issue, thing is ... it was the 1st time this season i have used them to handle wood, but i had forgotten i got snagged last time i had these gloves on (pic)  while loading the furness  last year, but never got a hand mashed, just hooked while piling wood, so .. i had plans to rid myself of these ... but as busy as i got, i figured just right for holding the bar (brake applied)  while hand filing, nope that didnt work ether, so i just bare handed everything from then on.. in short got my left hand hooked by a limb stub, and mashed ... between a 45lb log and the furness stainless steel bash plate. so after a long night of ice packs, and nothing ingested for pain ... those gloves are HISTORY! these have a pull strap on the back side to help keep them on, but as you can see the holes in the finger, well there's another split, this pic doesn't show, so, i got hooked, and pulled in, another fault was being in somewhat of a hurry.

 

becareful guys, you never know what can happen.

Ouch! Take time to heal up Wilson.

 

My woodstove gloves got more holes in 'em than those, guess I'd better throw them in the stove eh.

Dang, Wilson, hope it all heals up!  Point taken on the being careful, I know there are many stories out there of things getting snagged or hung and injuries occurring.

Since it happened, may as well get some humor out of it.

an animal ? well, maybe ...  or just flat more stubborn .. lol! ....my grandfather alway said .. pain was a away of letting you know the body is injured ... now I'm talking physical injuries, broken bones, pulled muscles, etc .. so i just never took pain pills, (at least not anything strong )  . when i went if for the shoulder surgery ... they had me on demerol , i hated the way it made me feel, so ... i won't touch anything that's an opioid. just not me, can't stand being Hazy... but i told fish, if i had a bottle of whiskey, or  beer that night, i believe i would have had a couple, just to sleep.

oh yeah, i understand completely... truth is, I've never had one, honest... not too much frightens me, but the way Demerol made me feel, wow! i kind of think i was over dosed .. cause ... i went down to the hospital emergency entrance .. in a hospital robe , and my iv in tow, just for a cig... and it was the last time smoked for a while, i hated the taste! went back up, they gave me another dose, and that's about all i recall, till the day i got out. that hospital... was nic named Murder Regional ... from Maury regional, lol! i haven't been back .. have no plans to.

I've always hated the way pain meds made me feel, and they mess my stomach up something awful.

 

That said, I'm miserable to be around when I'm hurting, just ask my wife.  LOL

 

Hope your hand heals up quick.
