Admin nuggethunting Posted January 20, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hello All,Been trying my best to answer phone calls, pack orders and reply to emails. Earlier this week I snapped my wrist at work, which will now require a plate, screws and surgery. A 3000lb wire reel fell off the reel stand and fell on my wrist snapping it in place. Pretty nasty break and and pain ... I have several field instructions this weekend, going to be difficult, but Im not going to let the customers down. Several partners with plenty of knowledge will be supporting/helping me. Just wanted to let everyone know whats going on. Doing my best to type left handed. Thanks for my lovely wife, we will get through this fine. We are still open for business like normal, so if you need something call us, email or visit the online store. Thanks!Rob "one handed" Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grubstake1 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry to hear that ROB, I hope you mend quick. Too bad it could not have been a 300 pound nugget instead. It would hurt the same, but with a nugget that big! You could pay someone to be your go-for Grubstake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~LARGO~ Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi Rob,From the sound of your serious accident, you lucky to have your hand at all,with all that weight in play!Wish I could give you a hand, (that didn't sound right, did it???) I think you have plenty of friends that will jump inand help however they can!Can we call you "Lefty" for a while? Take care and heal fast!Gary/LARGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Furness Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hey Rob ... Sorry to hear about the injury ... D@^n could have been much worse ... instead of being called 'Lefty' at least for awhile you could be called 'Stumpy' ... no recovery from that short of becoming the bionic man. On a more serious note heal fast and get back to work ... just secure that reel from dropping again!Mike F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
