Senile Texas Aggie - comic relief for the rest of you

Oh goodness - glad you're mostly ok!

He's mostly ok, his ego might have gotten hurt a little.

When you walked into the bucket, was the 1st thing you did,... to look around and see if anyone saw you do it?

I bet you he did!

I can identify with you there STA... I believe I mentioned in my journal about walking into a 12' 2x4 sticking out the back end of my pickup... @Baymule was a witness to that little fiasco. Didn't put me on the ground, but was for sure a wake up and pay attention kinda moment. Hope the damage wasn't too substantial... A steel FEL bucket can do a lot more damage than a 2x4.

How many times have we walked into the trailer hitch on the truck...OUCH to the shins, knees, legs.... and ever since my accident in 1989 and the damage I did to my head, I have no real depth perception so I am constantly walking into things as I don't perceive them as being "close" or just don't see them. Anyone who says they have never done it are not telling the whole story....
Glad you suffered only "minor" damage.

Yup!

When working around a FEL bucket, the same rule applies to it as to an overhead or roll up door. "All the way up or all the way down".

(and yes, I've banged my shin on a receiver hitch more times than I can count.)

Poor STA. Might be worthy of a Zinger award. I don't think I've whacked my head on any tractor parts (yet) but I've hit the hood over the cookstove on well more than one occasion.

DD2 walked right into the bale spear on the tractor at the farm where we get our potatoes and ground beef. 3rd in line but somehow didn't walk around like the prior 2 people. Made a nasty and long lasting bruise.

YIKES!!! And you're out driving on the public roads? Be safe!!!

Now that you just jinxed yourself saying that, you'll be hitting your head on your tractor parts very soon.

No. It is just my Beautiful Gal and I here on the farm and I knew she had already gone into the house to take a shower. Once I finished washing the tractor and put it into the shop and went into the house, when my Beautiful Gal saw the gash on my head, she asked what happened. When I told her, she just slowly shook her head.

and ever since my accident in 1989 and the damage I did to my head, I have no real depth perception so I am constantly walking into things as I don't perceive them as being "close" or just don't see them.

Miss @farmerjan, if you have told us about the accident before, I don't remember it. Would you please share with me, one of your biggest fans, exactly what happened?

YIKES!!! And you're out driving on the public roads? Be safe!!!

I'll bet that Miss @farmerjan on her worst days is safer than I am on my best days!
