So I was out riding the four wheeler today, ahhh it was nice... and then I smashed into a telephone pole, flew through the air, slammed onto the ground and rolled into a tree...
I just topped out 3rd gear on a suzuki z 400, I usually jab the rear brakes -down shift to 2nd and thottle hard for the curve... didnt work out so great this time...
Other than my knee (which only hurts when I bend it) I didnt suffer any injuries...
As for the 4 wheeler, bent the tie rod, handle bars, part of the frame, broke the headlight, choke cable, smashed the front brake handle into the thottle (leaving it at w.o.t) and of course some of clips broke off the plasitc body...
Ahhh, I go into work sat, sun, mon... 12.5 hour nights, AWESOME!!!!

Lil Ouch for you
BIG OUCH for the four wheeler...
Although I'm sure you'll be feeling it after working all weekend... Glad to hear that you didn't get hurt any worse.

I'm in the good with my supervisor so I pretty much havent done much of anything for the last two nights. Basically I just walked around from line to line doing light clean up and helping them keep up on supply.
Tonight the big boss comes in and I'm sure he'll hand me my a**. So yeah, tonight will probably suck. The stuff we are running now doesnt take caps so my machine isnt running, so unless they let me do some MUCH needed PM (preventive maintenance) and cleaning, then I'll get stuck doing some sh*tty job.
