Space heater, eh? Sounds like a good idea, thanks a lot. Well so much for buying Bondo today, I wasn't feeling that great so I put a hold on that. I'm going to have to get working soon to help get my mind off of an upcoming blood test on monday (my first, so of course I'm super freaked).
Hey guys, quick update with my injury (I had injured my hand in like page 6 or 7 lol) . I finally went to the doctor (over a week later) and it turns out I broke some bones in my hand. Tomorrow morning I'm going to the hospital to get an xray and a cast. I've been told that since it's already been a week that my hand might have started to heal already which means it'll need to be "reset" before a cast can be put on. I'm not a big fan of that because that method will include a rubber mallet, a doctor swinging hard, and a very unhappy and swearing patient. I've broken a bone before, but I refused to go to the doctor for that, so now my nose is a little crooked. (I took a hockey puck to the face. Gotta love Canada's sport, eh?) Anyways, I have to get a good night sleep because after the hospital I have to start fasting for a blood test. So more updates soon, but until then, I'm out.
Oh, btw; I finally started putting Bondo on the face mask part of the helmet and all I can say is this: Frickin'eh it looks good!
Update: So this morning I went to the hospital where they took some x-rays and put on a nice, hot-pink cast (which makes it look like they amputated two of my fingers).
Oh, and I got this sweet RAZR to match the cast lol.
That cast is...uhm...PINK! Quick, get the paint!
Seriously, I hope your hand gets better. nothing like working with power tools with a cast on! Or trying to do detail work...
BTW isn't hockey the ONLY sport?
Another BTW The longer you wait for the nose, the worse it gets... Ask my wife who broke her nose 20+ years ago, now her doctor wants to fix it because it is causing problems with her upper pallet and they need to fix it before they fix her upper jaw (to get rid of the braces).
I have to get them on a monthly basis. It's interesting when all the nurses know you by name.Quote:

I was actually in the docs last week and he was showing me my results. He said they were good and clean, no reds. Then he clicked on another page and it had "Kidney Functions" highlighted in red. The pills i take can cause kidney failure, so i naturally keeked myself. He tells me not to worry, that it's not a problem: apparently that was my second last test.
Still worried though...it's not really something you want to see! Hope you feel better soon and get everything back on track.

you seem to be the most accident proned person EVER
Why not mod your cast? lol. Add a battery with some LEDs and throw in a plexy glass window. Jk lol
Lmao, great stories everyone! I would like to mod the cast, but I might only have it on for a week. The reason I don't like doctors' offices and hospitals is because I haven't had that great of an experience with them (I almost lost my Mom twice); however with these recent trips, I have a newfound respect for them and I really appreciate what the people that work and volunteer there are trying to do. I got some pretty nice speeches on why punching walls isn't smart lmao. BTW, I chose the pink (I had hot pink hair one year; one day I'll post the pic lol.) Also, It's only been since I started this mod that I've been "injury prone"; before then the worst that had happened to me was a really bad bike accident where I lost over the majority of the feeling in my one knee, but that's it lol. Maybe someone's trying to tell me to stop this mod, but I'm so passionate about it that I refuse. So, work goes on.
Oh, quick update. My brother was kind enough to lend me some money (on his friggin' birthday for all that matter!); so I used the cash to buy some metal grating for the project. I hope to glue it onto the inside of the windows of the case to add a more mechanical/industrial look and effect as well as hopefully to highlight the appliques. I don't want to get any Bondo on the cast because it needs to look nice for a formal event (Phantom of the Opera to be precise), so for now I'll just keep on planning the project out and dream about the finished product. While I'm not moving forward with the project at the moment, now would be a great time for some comments, opinions, as well as suggestions from the readers. Thanks for sticking with me through thick and thin, I will have more updates soon. However, until then, I'm out.
Best regards,
