the curse of blue hair?

not so long ago, blue hair cursed me and my roofing project. i don't remember exactly what she said, but it was something like 'i hope your roof collapses and you die in it.'

today, i was working on the roof and trying out my new router table. i got it for $29 at a garage sale, and it is next to new. i had to buy a rabbit bit for the cut i need, and coincidentally, that was $29 as well.

i know how to use a router, but i never used a table set up like this one. i thought i understood the concept. i had trouble changing the bit, but i got it after a while. i figured out how everything worked and where the switch was, and i plugged it in.

i was wrong about which position was power and not, and as soon as i plugged it in, it started up. i thought i would just power the switch off, but before i could reach it, the brand new bit came shooting out of the router. spinning like a little frisbee. i SAW it leave the machine and i instinctively turned away at the same time.

it took a good chunk out of my flesh, but didn't seem to hit anything important. it didn't even really hurt much. the blade was SO sharp, it hit me and bounced off me. i put triple anti biotic on it and i taped it up good. i will be fine.

but it scared the heck outta me. a few more inches and that could have been my eye. and this thing is a serious little weapon. it is nastier than a ninja star. spinning at the speed it was. holy cow.

i am still a little nervous. i think i will borrow my father's router for the cuts i need. i have used that a million times without incident. praise the lord he let me dodge that bullet.

and again, apologies to blue hair for any hard feelings. please stop with the voodoo doll
