Chick Ludwig Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Robert, keep it coming. I also have a warped sense of humor. Steve, got the "take care"! I don't think that the guard would allow me to make the cut, or even fit on the saw. But following some safety guides would have "saved me". I'll try to do better.

Jknight611 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hi Chick, how ya feeling? Out walking around your boat build? Can't imagine how much it hurt!! Hang on, it is getting better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 We all sacrifice a little here and there for our projects, you've given a bit more. Hang tough and at least there's one less nail to chew on, the next time you're stuck on some problem, you're attempting to sort out in the moaning chair.

Action Tiger Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Call it McCarthy. Because it wants to cut those Leftist Pinkies down to size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Jay, yep. I go out and walk around, and even climb on board. Time will heal and I'll be able to get back to work on her. PAR, got plenty of nails left to chew. I've thought of renaming her "Blood, Sweat, and Tears". Robert. Once again you've brought a little chuckle. Don "Thrillsbe" picked me up and took me around to visit the other Southern Appalachian Messers yesterday. I have to go walk the dogs, but I'll be back to add some pictures in a few minutes. Y'all check back. I'm back, and here are the promised pics. This is Don with his soon (?) to be completed Bay River Skiff. The "other" Don and part of his fleet. David with his Spindrift 10. We're all offering advice on substituting a balanced lug sail. Check out the detail inside the transom. Terry and his Sooty Tern. He's working on the sailing rig now. And how about that beautiful shop!

Action Tiger Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Chick, I'm so glad I can make you laugh, even a little. I have to admit the McCarthy one really got me. I'll keep passing along any other good names I can muster. I'm glad you're keeping busy, but remember to rest. Feet up, club on your chest, glass of iced tea. Think blissful thoughts, like, "Heal, heal, heal" and rest. You suffered a trauma, brother. As to your trip, I feel a certain kinship with the "other" Don, although I never put them near each other. If I keep my boats spread out so I only see one at a time, I feel less crazy. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Silsbe Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 David's Spindrift is a 10 footer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Potts Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 My favorite so far is Robert's "McCarthy" but I'll add Moby or Leftie to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Isn't Apple working a nub to zoom feature for the next iPhone . . . Even though this has been difficult for you, at least when you put your hands in your pockets, you can still count to 11 . . . You lost part of your finger, but on the other hand you're just fine . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Tiger Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Sangré de Chick-o? Again, with all due respect. Pretty apt description, though, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Oh, "Good Grief Charlie Brown", you guys are really "stretching it" now. Hey, wait, grab hold and "stretch" that finger back out... Got the bandage off and stitches out today. All is about expected except that th last bone in the little finger was fractured and had to have a pin in it. The pin will be removed in a couple of weeks. I have to go for physical therapy twice a week. Also have to wear a removable splint to immobilize the fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meester Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Chick, I hope the PT will help you get a grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Gee thanks, Meester. Hopefully I'll be able to get a grip, and get back to back to some light work after the "pin" comes out of my little "pinky" in two weeks. Hey, do y'all wanna see it??? Please ask wives and kids to leave the room.... Hope that didn't gross ya out too much. Take it as a warning---BE CAREFUL around the SHARK!

Hirilonde Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Definitely listen to the PT! And no matter how much it hurts. Atrophy is your worst enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Sheeeooot, man. That ain't near all what bad I thought it might could be. I finished my little canoe, so I'm fitting to go sail it around a bit, see how I did. Keep healing, brother. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
