Last Friday I had an accident. For months, my dad has been researching new grills to buy. He finally decided on one and bought it. It arrived last Friday. This is no ordinary grill that you buy at the Home Depot. It is a DCS and its solid stainless steel. With its cart, it weighs approximately 200 lbs. That evening we were assembling it and needed to move it. I went to get a good position and had to readjust my hands to keep them from slipping. The spot my fingers found when the lifting began somehow inside a louver. It was sharp here and the weigh, lifting and sliding cut my fingers like a knife. Lots of blood began flowing and we made a prompt visit to Urgent Care about 3 blocks from my house. The dogs were happy to clean up the blood that was on the floor.

We arrived at Urgent Care 3 minutes before they closed. For the first time I could see the severity of my injury. I had deeply cut my middle, ring, and pinky fingers on my left hand. They made me was out my cuts and then the worst part of numbing them came next. After that, six stitches went in. I received two stitches in each finger. The entire process took about 15 min. After this, we went to the Culvers car shot right across the street. Below is a picture of what my fingers looked like 24 hours after the stitches when I was changing the dressing. Some people had requested the pictures after hearing about what I did.

It is good to be done with school. Everything ended up great. I was very satisfied with my grades for the semester. Microsoft Office 2007 finally came into the campus bookstore and its great to get the Enterprise edition for only $15.

The first week off from school Aaron, Ryan, and myself finished the ChristmasLux project. More on this later but the project now has its own blog. Look for more soon. http://liquidretro.net/lightshow/

The second week off I detailed the Ferrari extensively. It now looks like a completely different car.

Yesterday I went out to Broken Bow, Nebraska to participate in the annual fun shoot. I had a very good time shooting all of the guns. I shot several guns that are normally only seen in the movies and video games. Some of them included a 50 caliber Sniper Rifle, an AL-47, A Tommy Gun, and others. Below I have posted some photos and videos of me and some friends shooting all of the guns.

Loading of the AK-47 Golf ball gun. This was a cool gun. After a golf ball had been loaded by shoving it down the specially made aluminum tube a blank cartridge was loaded and the gun was fired. It shot the golf ball well over 100 yards.

Friday night I went to Expressions.  The performance was very good and I had a great time.  I thought I would post some of the photos I took from the night.
