hello

Well I have decided to try to write a little bit each day no matter how boring instead of doing nothing for weeks at a time and then writing a novel.

Today I sort of slept in then decided to try and clean up my filthy Jeep. I got the whole dash and console scrubbed and cleaned off then decided to try and mount my front license plate. I bought a mount that fits in the trailer hitch hole in the front bumper but when I tried to use it the holes for the security lock didn’t line up. Well today I decided to drill a new set of holes. Since I was in a hurry, I decided to hold the mount down with two little screws while I drilled two 5/8” holes. That was working fine until the big drill caught on the metal and spun out of my hand. Normally that’s not a big deal but since I was using the drill with one hand instead of attaching the second grip I was squeezing the handle pretty hard so when the bit got stuck it jerked my whole body around and almost put me on the ground. Now I have a nice “oops I stretched that one too far” pain in my ring finger, wrist and forearm. I really doubt anything is seriously wrong. I still have full motion and I can support my body weight on it, I just wasn’t ready for the quick jerk. Now I feel really stupid because all I had to do is clamp the mount down to the work bench before drilling. Oh well, now my ouchy is reminding me to use my head next time.

I had plans to make dinner but my cutting arm is pretty sore so Mom and I went to Carl’s Jr. for dinner. It funny how a nice big burger covered in jalapeno peppers can make you feel a lot better. heh
