Pissing off the woodworking gods

It appears that I did not burn offerings of thanks quickly enough after
getting my new machines and have pissed off the woodworking gods. Somewhere
in the process of moving the machines into the shop I seem to have
strained/pulled/screwed up (that's a technical medical term) my left
shoulder. I iced for a good portion of the day on Sunday and took lots of
ibuprofen and seemed to be feeling better yesterday. SOOOOO, being a snow
day, kids off from school, I headed back into the shop to continue working
on outfeed and side support tables for the new TS. Well, I guess that was
a little too quick and now it appears that I will have to suffer a multiday
exile from my shop and get this shoulder right.

What a PITS (pain in the shoulder).

SteveP.

who is going to find a virgin to sacrifice to the woodworking gods.

Shoulders heal very slowly. I hurt mine doing something stupid,
don't even remember what, and did not ice it etc. It was six
months befor sitting up (the movement, no the posture) in bed
didn't hurt.

Sorry to hear about the travails.

However, they _do_ say "Life is the PITS".

And, despite appearances, there *is* a bright side to the story --
think what might have happened, if you'd done things the other way
around, and been pissing _on_ the WW gods,

Yep, you trying to do your own sacrifices to the Woodworking Gods
will definitely piss them off. You're supposed to send them along to me,
as their High Priest, I handle all those technical details. Probably
burning wood, too. Heathen.

That's why I had some of my son's buds from high school help. The pizza was a
lot cheaper than physical therapy!

There's a guy down the road selling goats. That'll take care of
both your requirements.

I will burn an offering on the table saw for you. :-)

Especially if you provide a young (female) virgin for the ceremony.
