KG7RKF, oh yeah thanks for the upgrade, I had a feeling it was down. Anyway, once again thank you for taking my recheck and thank you for doing this. Since I've been on the server, as far as locom bones, no locom bones but a serious accident, well I have to go back to 1969. I'm pretty close to getting electrocuted. I am an electrician, I work in New York City, I was in the basement of a building, actually working for a big record store that we were doing a remodeling for. I was working alone down in the basement. Why do we have an electrical distribution panel 8 or 10 feet up in the air? I don't know why but you have to realize it's an old place. This building might have even been built before, well it's the beginning of when they were installing electricity in New York City. I'm working on this 8 foot ladder trying to find a circuit and I had my left hand, I was moving wires around in this panel and like an idiot I had my right hand wrapped in a water pipe, perfect situation for a grounding situation and I get belted right across two of my arms, both of my arms are on an 8 foot ladder. Luckily it grabbed me or I'd still probably be hanging there and then it threw me and I came flying off the ladder. Luckily off an 8 foot ladder, landed on my feet and I thought I was okay and I got my arms up in the air and I couldn't, I couldn't rig my arms up in the air. I wound up packing up my tool check and I went to the closest hospital and the ironic part of it, a quick break.
