Doing good over here, Jack. Beautiful day. For sure. Let's see. All right, let's go back to splitting wood. I split a lot of wood years ago, and I could see it was a game that put a lot of wear and tear on the shoulder, and no telling what other parts of the body. Well, anyhow, I was busting wood. I don't know if you knew about this incident, Jack, a few years back. And the splitting ball hung up and around. Happens from time to time. You split any wood, you know what I'm talking about. It gets hung up. You can't quite get it out. So I reached over and got the handy-dandy sledgehammer, the maul, as you called it. And I came down and hit that splitting maul to drive it on through. Well, guess what happened? A flake came off of the sledgehammer head. And it hit me right above the belt line. And I'll make this story short. Emergency surgery. Us, the, I think it was seven or eight punctures to the small intestine. They held me up from the bottom of the sternum all the way down below the navel. You get in there and fix this, so the doc called it the GSW. So watch out when you're slamming one piece of hardened metal against another. I think that ended my splitting by hand. I've got a hydraulic splitter here. Works just fine. Jack, carry on. Have a great day, everybody. KC5WFH.
