    Gunna have'ta cancel on the Bash

     I fell 12' of a ladder yesterday, Shattered my right foot, reconstruction in a coupla days.
    If it had been the left foot, I might'a tried to persevere, and still drive. 
    I hope everyone has a great time. Bend an elbow to BB for me.

    Sorry to hear about your "downfall" Barry. I hope that your surgery goes well and you are quickly back on the road (the road to recovery too). Those ladders are dangerous for us old timers. I used to scramble up and down them daily working on aircraft. Now I slowly make my way up and down.

    Ugh.  That's an electric bummer but it's good that you weren't hurt worse. 

    Best wishes for a full, uncomplicated and not-too-painful recovery.

    Oh man!!! Very sorry to hear that mate. 😔

    Take it easy, rest up and all the best with a speedy recovery.

    Looks like it's just me heading up the Aussie contingency this year.

    Steve,
    I'm glad that at least one of us can make it .... I know you'll make us Ozzies proud!
    I'm gunna spend some of what it would'a cost on a 4 post hoist, it might make me feel a bit better bout missing out.
    Everyone take care, I plan on on catching up with everyone next year.

    Re: Gunna have'ta cancel on the Bash

    Barry sorry to hear about that, hope all goes well with your recovery. Brenda just found a little bell to ring when you need something.

    Naaa, you don't need a head injury too. Tell Leonie hello and take it easy on her.  

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

     Thanx Walt, I remembered  having a bell in the shed I was gunna suggest, but I recalled it had an extra large handle, ... so I never mentioned it.

    Re: Gunna have'ta cancel on the Bash

    Sorry to hear about your accident.   I hope your surgeries go well, and you have a speedy recovery.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.
