Fractured Hand photo 264473 264487 300 right A little part of my bone that evidently chipped away from the main thumb photo While playing an indoor soccer game I had the pleasure of playing goal If you ve never seen an indoor game before it s tremendously faster than outdoor soccer The field is about the same size as a hockey rink and the out of bounds rules are similar the ball can be played off of the walls While the net is a little smaller to defend the shots tend to come from much closer in It all happened so quickly that I m not positive of the specific details but I essentially charged for a ball in the box and right as I grabbed it had the pleasure of having my hand kicked by the offensive player After the swelling remained for a few days I headed over to the urgent care facility to have it checked out It turned out that I had a small chip in the bone though it wasn t a huge deal After a couple of days of keeping it compressed and icing it the swelling was gone It only took a couple of weeks to resume full use of the hand I was particularly impressed how the urgent care facility provided me with a digital copy of the x rays and a program from which to view them albeit Photoshop works too

Seats are Finally Done It s been a couple of months since I ve last made any updates to the bus but this is a pretty big one Now that I ve gotten some work to slow down have published my book have released my book have the podcast running strong and am headed into the holiday season I thought it was high time to get back onto the bus project Over the past couple of days I fully built out the seats They were framed bolted and had plywood attached All that s left to do on them is foam them and stretch over the vinyl photo 299028 258221 0 center One of the frames already built out photo photo 299038 258221 0 center Jigsawing some of the wood for the seat backs photo photo 299052 258221 0 center A nice view of the seat backs in place You might notice that there is some slight variance to the height This is not a problem as I will just jigsaw it off and of course it s all being wrapped with foam and vinyl photo

First Responder photo 300760 740 0 right The side of the car the old man was in I should have taken a picture of the front passenger side as it was completely caved in photo I m not sure exactly why but I ve always wanted to be the first responder on the scene of an accident I ve always assumed that I would act calm and composed under pressure all the while doing whatever needed to be done to help the victims I finally got a chance to find out I didn t see the actual impact but I did come upon the two cars spinning out in the intersection as I came over a hill An older man was driving the Toyota in the picture and apparently cut across an intersection just as a red Corvette was coming down the road I was later told that the older man mustn t have seen the Corvette and cut right in front of it Although the car wasn t about to explode or anything the man driving the Toyota had been hit pretty hard When I ran up to the door he was clinching his chest and a painful expression lined his face Another woman was on the scene with me and started asking him medical questions He was complaining about severe chest pains and was frantically looking for his glasses Smoke started pouring into the car and so we started yelling at him to get out I m not sure if he was acting erratic as a result of the impact but we eventually unbuckled his seat belt for him and helped him out of the vehicle The woman was particularly helpful to him I think the bulk of the smoke was from the airbag deployment and the various fluids burning off on the engine but it was getting increasingly hard to breath in the car s environment I had the pleasure of calling the accident in to EMS as the woman walked him over to the curb and sat him down Once they were on their way I crawled around his car trying to find his glasses but they were nowhere to be found Since it was getting harder to breathe and I wasn t sure if the car actually might catch fire I thought he could probably do without them The guy in the other car looked to be okay albeit his car was much worse He was walking around on the phone and so I didn t pay much attention to him Once the situation was resolved and EMS was in range I went about my day
