Memories

[CigarStone]

Steve @Eqwhipped and I got together for a cigar and bourbon last night and we had a good laugh about one of our previous get-togethers.

During the winter I visited Steve and we had a beautiful big fire while smoking and drinking. Toward the end of the night, Steve decided to split a peice of wood that had more knots and grain than I have ever seen, it was actually quite amazing!

On the first mighty whack, the maul went flying to the left and hit the fence, I laughed and said "there is not a chance in hell you can split that". He took another mighty whack and a chunk the size of a softball hit me in the shin, glanced off, shattered my beer glass and spun out onto his patio. Steve was very upset that he shattered my beer glass ........ he didn't seem too concerned about shattering my leg.

Was it a logo’s glass? I have a few glasses with very important and meaningful logos in them that would make me sad if they broke.
Sorry about your leg though.

Im surprised this became public knowledge, in my defense pretty sure he actually said "I bet there is not a chance in hell you can split that". Then I went all The Shining on a helpless un-splitable log. After it was all said and done a priceless collector pint glass from Qing dynasty was irrevocably damaged. Oh and Cigarstone was holding his leg screaming for an ambulance.

Good times.

This is all true except for the couple things I struck through.

It was a Deschutes glass.

Steve is a powerful young man!

This thread is starting to read like the smut in the book I am reading.

You should have seen the way I gripped the shaft of the axe handle.

My ex-wife used to read those books.

Maybe I should clarify, some people seem to think the X-ray I posted was legitimate. All I can say to that is ....... you should know me better by now.

In reality I barely even had a scuff on my leg which is rather interesting because the chunk of wood still had enough momentum to blast the glass into a million pieces.

Still cried though.

Still cried though.

Only when you found out you broke my glass.
