pink Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 A little scared, too. I didn't think it right to ask one to take a picture first when they thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, a self-portrait wasn't possible. You're welcome to use mine. (chainsaw kicked back, went airborne, and flew into my shin while working on a log railing.) shin, it's what's for dinner.

sobo Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Your pic didn't seem to indicate the presence of much gristle. Besides, it'd be like chewing jerkey anyway. And I love jerkey! Quote

Unfortunately, a self-portrait wasn't possible. You're welcome to use mine. (chainsaw kicked back, went airborne, and flew into my shin while working on a log railing.) Yeah, blood and chainsaws. I went to the emergency room a couple times over that one. I've taken one employee and a former boss to the hospital because of chainsaw cuts. If you're going to use a chainsaw a lot in the woods I recommend kevlar chaps. You can get kevlar gloves too. Nice woodwork despite the blood rmncwrtr. Quote
sobo Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 ...I recommend kevlar chaps... Are they available in assless? Quote
AlpineK Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Dude they're chaps. They aren't a fashion statement. You wear them to protect the most likely part of your body to get tagged by a running or idling chainsaw chain. Quote
sobo Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Kurt, C'mom, man. It's me you're talking to. I know what chaps are for. I just wanted to pick up a pair, but I wanted the assless variety. sickie Quote
minx Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Wouldn't "assed" chaps simply be...pants? yep! by definition chaps are assless right? Quote

The kevlar is only on the front side though. Quote
sobo Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 OMFD you guys. A guy tries to make a little joke about and what does it all become? Yeesh! Quote
Sherri Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Nice, Sobo. Just don't sneak up behind him with a chainsaw. Feck, I was given a pair of those Husky chaps as a get-well gift after my accident. Good idea. Quote
