After over a month of no computer when my hard drive took a royal dump, I finally got a new one today. I've only been able to visit the bbs via my phone and have missed being your target immensely. Now I'm off to download the game & get all set up so I can take to the cartoon skies tomorrow night! Gotta put in my video & sounds cards and power supply. It's a stock HP so I gotta muscle it up before playing. See ya's soon friends & fiends. :salute
P.S. Going from XP to W7 is pretty cool!

Luckily its on my right hand and I'm left handed. Not a good start to the week. :o I can't post a pic because I'm on my phone for all you sickos out there :D Shlit happens I guess. Get a pc & lose a finger. My world is in balance. ;) Sumbeech its hurting right now! Waaaa!

Lots of drugs in me now. Fighting to stay awake. Man, what a crappy start to the week. Just realized it was my trigger finger for my stick. Damn.

Well, Ranger, looks like you've topped any story that the rest of us might have put forward this morning. How did the accident happen (so we can benefit from your ugly experience)?
Probably some of the computer-savvy people here can tell you how to map the trigger to another button.
...you...uh...you WILL still be able to do sounds and maps...yes...?
- oldman (get healed quickly, dude)
-
Good to have ya back, Ranger!
-
Table saw. About to go in to have it reattatched. I told them if they couldn't put it back on I wanted them to make me a necklace. Got some strange looks. :lol Drugs are kicking my butt. Drowsy as heck. Keep coming back to the bbs just to stay awake. Yes Oldman, I won't let it keep me from my hobbies. :)
-
think on the bright side of things there ranger. it could of been way worst. you could of been taking a leak and lost more than just your finger.......
-
Ranger, how did you manage to do that? I dont know what you do for work.. but cutting off a finger is a pretty big feat. Wish you the best sir! :salute
-
Welcome back Ranger - cut yer finger off? Seems an odd way to pay homage to the gods of AH (joking aside, hope it gets reattached and alls well)

When u are all better, u have something to look forward to; the game is extra fun now with one LW MA. Hurry back!

Hope you are feeling better soon - all of you! :salute

:rofl :rofl
Welcome back Ranger :)
-
Hope they get it back on...
Braümeister Todd was not so lucky. When he holds up his left hand, it looks like the Cingular commercial.
How many bars do you have?
Now when he flips people off, he uses the stubby finger and says "This is for you, because you don't deserve the very best" :rofl

Good luck and speedy recovery :aok

welcome back

Welcome back Ranger.

Damn Ranger. What an unfortunate incident. I have a table saw in my shop, I'll really have to be more careful.
-
Hope your better and flying soon. I lost my right pinkie a few years when I crashed on a motorcycle and had it trapped between the pavement. It actually did not cut it all the way off, just ground it down to the first knuckle.. I raced for 20 years, the last crash was the one that took my finger and it was my 47th crash. Had plenty of injuries but by far the most painfull and the one that took the longest to recover from was that dang finger. Man it hurt. Had to learn to type all over again too.

OUCH! Luckily they already have a safety device to prevent this exact sort of thing. While the average joe might not be able to afford this, I hope it leads to lower insurance rates and fewer injuries by contractors and construction crews:

Yeoweee, Ranger! :O. Get the bad boy glued back on and heal 'er up quick! :salute
-
Hang in there Ranger.
-
Hey ranger, sorry to hear that. On the other hand both my grandpas had missing finger parts from working in shops and mills and they seemed to manage ok. Hope it goes back on ok.
-
Now why did U go and do that!....... :cry............Hope it heals soon and without that extra pain !
Bee good and extra careful, next time when around table saw ! :uhoh
:old: :salute U....... and keep on (http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/Vilkasah2/th_black12.gif)

Yes to W7, vista was a bad joke. :salute

Thanks all. Op went good. It's back on. Can't see it because it's all wrapped up. Even though I'm left handed, I never realized how much I did right handed that I can't do at the moment. Will post some cool pics when they let me outta here. Helluva way to start the week, huh? Still going to work tomorrow, so it will be interesting being the one-armed bandit. :lol Thanks all again for the well wishes. It was NOT the way I had intended this supposed-to-be happy thread to go. :o
-
Man, I'm glad it went well Ranger. I just got back to work from a mere broken right index finger so I can relate to the amount of stuff you do that you all of a sudden can't. What sucks for me is opening twisty bottles still hurts but it's nothing a bottle opener won't fix. You find a way around these little impediments. Improvise, adapt, overcome. Like Gunny Highway says. :D
Hang in there bro and get well soon. Follow your doctor's orders and try to be as completely useless as possible around the house. I tried to help out folding laundry one day, dropped a shirt, instinctively grabbed for it---and punched the edge of the table in front of me. "Ouch! Gosh golly gee willikers!", I said (not really). Set me back a couple more weeks. So don't do like friggin---anything! hehe
-
Your'e going to work tomorrow? :huh
Jeeze, you are a tough bastage.
Glad the surgery went well.
-
Great news, you now won't have to remove your socks to count to 10 :aok
Glad to have you back Ranger :D
:salute

Ranger,
Glad to hear the reattachment went well,been there done that myself,the rehab is important as soon as possible get yourself some silly putty or a small ball of wax and squeeze it all the time. This will help get the strength back and some of the dexterity!
It's gonna hurt for awhile......enjoy the meds while you can..... :devil
:salute
PS: dont make a habit outta the meds or cutting fingers,neither are good for you!
-
Awww, and I was so looking forward to using the nickname "Stumpy". :devil
Glad it worked out Ranger, very surprised you're planning on going back to work in the same shop the very next day (especialy if you're on heavy pain meds). :salute
-
Good luck Ranger. :salute
-
I'll be ok going back to work tomorrow. Just hurts like hell. Got too many kids at home to miss work. As for the meds, they kept making me throw up so I'll just suck it up without em. Thank you for the well wishes. Like I said, this thread was supposed to be much different. Ya know what? Now that I think about it, I should have had them sew it back on upside down. Might make me famous with the ladies. :D. Thanks all. See ya in the skies soon. :salute
-
I'm glad they got it back on ok. I'd hate to have to redraw your cartoon! :neener:
-
Atta boy, Ranger! :aok

It's a stock HP so I gotta muscle it up before playing. See ya's soon friends & fiends. :salute

wow glad to hear they could reattach it :aok
Gotta put in my video & sounds cards and power supply. It's a stock HP so I gotta muscle it up before playing.
Warning!
the mobo power connector on alot of HPs looks like an ATX power connection but it isnt - they have completely different pinouts despite using the same connector. this means that at best, it wont start up. at worst you'll fry the mobo and/or PSU.
before you plug it all together you need to download the service manual for the PC and make sure the power pinout is exactly the same as the PSU pinout (ATX standard.)
edit: since you cant type great atm, just tell me the exact model HP you've got (model# is best) and I'll check the pinout for you :)
-
Ouch Ranger, you haven't broken any mirrors recently have you? Hope you get well soon.
-
Thanks fellas. So far work is going ok today. This morning I made sure to jump on that same saw and cut some boards just to get over that mental hurdle. I cussed it out the entire time too. I'd like to try to fly tonight but the bandages on my trigger finger makes it the size of a king size corndog. Will be interesting.
-
Glad they were able to reattach it, Ranger.
Just to chime in on something that was mentioned earlier- Rehab is critical. I've known guys who had similar injuries, one did his rehab, the other didn't. The difference is night and day. IMO the rehab is 80% of the healing process. By the fact you went back to work with a recently reattached finger, I can take a moderately educated guess how 'easy' you'll take it, but try to follow the doctor's advice as much as you can, it'll pay big down the road. :)
Hope it won't get in your way too much. <S>

Roger sir. Will do. :salute Got too many years of work left. No need to be more screwed up than I have to be. I went through rehab after I was blown up in Iraq so I understand your point.

Does it work well Karaya? Of course, I don't know why I'm asking, I know you wouldn't steer me wrong.

I'll find out & shoot ya a PM. Thanks. I didn't know this. I changed out the PS in my last PC (an HP) and had no problems. Maybe I got lucky. I do know I need to though if I'm going to run my Vid card or any other powered card.
-
Well, haven't quite made it back to the game yet. This stupid bandage/splint on my trigger finger has been a real pain. A few days ago I finally did manage to swap out the power supply & put in the video card for my new pc. Not an easy task to hold those tiny screws and screw them in all with one hand. :lol Mission accomplished though, everything fires up just as it should. So here I go, logging into the game now. Who wants some first? :salute
-
Oh man I've missed a lot.
Glad they got it reattached and that you're coming back into the game though!
I'm still waiting on your B29 sounds etc. :P
I've had to mix and match with others to get them for now :P
:salute

welcome back to the non friendly sky's ranger. good to have you back. :salute
