From the way things are looking for me, I dont think I'll be fishing on the Muskie Season Opener... in fact, I dont think I'll be fishing til July or August...

Reason for this is: I had a little mishap... was taking apart a tv for scrap metal (I like to recycle metal)... I was cutting off the metal band around the tube and somehow the glass tube just blew up... I came out of it mostly unscathed except for a chunk sliced off the palm (palm area leading up to ring/pinky fingers, hard to explain) of the left hand... approximately the size of Eisenhower silver dollar chunk was sliced off... like I put it to a meat slicer... 11 stitches... 50/50 chance it'd reattach back... and since I cast with my left hand and palm the reel with my left hand... I dont know how tolerable fishing will be for my hand for a while...

with this mishap occuring... I also havent really able to work on the boat too... it sucks... but life goes on... a lesson learned... I'll never take apart a tv ever again, even tho this was the 2nd tv I've took apart... I have an appt with the hand specialist on Tuesday then we'll see how the prognosis is... if it does die off, at least I can boast of having a built-in recess for the reel to fit in comfortably LOL

ouch!!! sorry to hear that dude!

I know it has been quite a while since I had posted something here... just that Lil Mayhem has been keeping me VERRRRRRY busy...

As for my hand... the bad news is that the area that got cut off is dead... its black... but the good news is that its clean and not infected at all... it will fall off once new skin grows out from under it... doc said it'll take approximately 4 weeks for it to grow out and that was last week... We'll see how soon I can get back to fishing once the hand heals up... but at least I can use the free time in getting things done on Lil Mayhem...
