    Talking Dag-Nabit! Scratched the truck and busted my hand

    Loading a cold water tank into the truck yesterday, its still kind of icy here in iowa. the tank slipped and fell on the side of the truck leaving a nice thick scratch and then fell on my hand. luckily i pulled it out in time. The hand is working fine just a little sore. The joys of scrapping. Stay safe out there!

    Sorry about what happened to you - there is an injury thread on here somewhere - just so you know you're not alone. I've heard that misery loves company. lol.

    I remember snagging an antique door off the side of the road.. instead of walking around the back, I attempted to swing it over the side, a hinge caught the side of the truck and put its first "cry scratch" into it.. Dent +Scratch= made me want to cry- luckily I sold that truck so I don't see it anymore. Glad your hand injury was relatively minor!!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
