  Since flying back home my sleep pattern is all out of whack. 
  Woke up at 4:45 this morning and knew going back to sleep wasnt an option (I usually sleep in til 6:30-7:00 on a Sunday). So I loaded my bike and taped a flashlight to my bike frame and hit the trails! Did 12.XX miles. 
  Came up on a tree across the trail that would have been a painful wreck without the light. It only shone out maybe 12’ ahead of me, just enough I guess.

Does the guy putting it together have to be old?

 

My grandfather made wooden trucks for each of his grandsons and great grandsons when they were born. I'm thinking I might go build some of those for my nephews.

 Well, I was TRYING to put it back in the transfer case.

 

Then the nice trauma lady got to put some pretty blue string in my eyebrow. The colors are pretty though.

Always a silver lining.  Or blue in this case...

More reddish actually. That's yesterday, the color is deeper and the band longer today.

Well my daughter ran away screaming "ew ew ew" and my sister asked "why do you do this to me" when I showed her, and my wife just rolled her eyes with that "again?" look, so maybe not universal.

With that positioning you'll have to keep your eyebrow shaved too. Otherwise the scar just won't show.

Hey, I had one to match that on my left eye.   Not a drive shaft but a 4-12 X 40 Leupold scope.  Shooting uphill at a mule deer in Montana. 

  Recoil from a .270 Win Mag wtih 3,000+ ft lbs of muzzle energy.
