Well i got in a fight with a table saw last Friday and you know how that turns out. I was ripping 3/8 strip off a 5/8 by 27 inch board and reached over to catch that strip to keep it from sailing back. Probably had blade 1/2 inch too high as i had cut some thicker wood earlier in the week.Don't know if i was standing different or what-why as i have cut hundreds of these pieces over the years. Don't know how, but lost index finger at the knuckle by the palm of my hand and second finger 1 inch higher toward the tip. Front of thumb was half off right at the first knuckle. 400 foot walk to the house, wife called 911 and ambulance ride to local hospital, then to North Memorial hospital in Robbinsdale ( Mpls.). Doctor said best not try to attach fingers but would save the thumb. Nurses said he is the best hand repair doc. in the 5 state area. I am thankful for what i have left and praying for no infection. Was set up to go on a week long fishing trip with our kids and grandkids the next day. As a friend says, excrement occurs. Tractor related, i had fuel tank and sheet metal from my Farmall super MTA diesel ready to paint next week. Sorry for the long post and i am NOT looking for sympathy for doing something stupid. It just helps to talk about it,Gary.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
