We followed up the chemical spill with an earthquake...

[Puddington]

.....sitting quietly in the 30 plus year old chair that is the "bottom rester" for throtle number one near the engine facility at Samuel Ridge.... Sammy calls out "daddy" and, quite instinctively I shift my rather impressive weight and...

SNAP....

Puddy, bad legs and all heads for the floor, but, again instinctively, I grab for something to break my fall.... I'm here to tell you that an n scale engine facility will NOT, I repeat, NOT break your fall.... you will hit the ground... and you will break your engine facility; two custom MOW cars, one GP7 and mangle the brass work and details of the sand and fuel area... you'll also rip the fences out, sent the engine house flying some 3 meters and you'll end up under the layout feeling like the old lady in the "help, I've fallen and I can't get up" commercial...

This just isn't my month................... sigh................

I'd ask "whatnext" but the possibilities are too freightening to even contemplate................

[MichaelWinicki]

Sorry to hear of that...


If it doesn't result in a hospital visit or a date with a chiropractor then it qualifies as a "good fall".

[Bob Bufkin]

You better find a shaman to lift the curve you got.

[Dave V]

My gosh, Pud...  I'm very sorry!  A run of bad luck that must break shortly.

[Puddington]

I will survive the little fall; thanks to the state of my left knee, I fall quite a bit and have made something of an art form out of it..... The Russian judge gave me a 5.9.............

Yes, a Shaman; Native Canadian prayer session, Ghostbusters, or something akin to these actions, or whatever else I can think of might just be where we're heading right about now as I seem to have the " oh $#@$#@$#@ Puddy, here it comes again" mojo is in high gear.....

What's next; the Maple Leafs go on a 10 game losing streak........?   HEY, WILL YA SHUT UP WITH DEM NEGATIVE WAVES BABE ??????????????????????????????

Ummmm.... do you have any water pipes over the layout? Might be a good time to rig some tarps.... just     in      case.....

[davefoxx]

Um, Puddy, I hate to break* this to you, but things seem to happen in groups of three. 

Dave

* No pun intended.

[Puddington]

Locust; I'm thinking ground foam eating locust............

So the first was quickness to field a phone call .

The second was quickness to address a sons calling out , and failure to evaluate the old chair for needed repair or replacement .

The third will be quickness to a distraction . Unless it is an emergency , take the time to think about the changing of what you are doing now to HOW you are going to physically adjust to the new thing that you need to address . Don't lurch needlessly .

Damn man, that sucks!

[Nato]

       "W-a-a-a!" Sorry to hear that Pud. Yes let us hope there is not a third incident. As someone with a now bad right foot,ankel screwed togeter after a bad break 4 years ago I know what it is to now walk very carefully. Nate Goodman (Nato).

Broke 
a mirror or slighted a gypsy?  Time to call in the voodoo priestess to rid you of this curse before the zombification begins...
