For the second time in 30 years I have been injured by a crank handle. Last
weekend Samuel wanted me to start an engine for him so I decided to give the
2hp R&V a run. It has been a while since I started it and I forgot to retard
the magneto. It fired up easily and the built in crank handle gave my hand
and wrist a good whack. I am pretty impressed with my self control that I
did not swear in front of the little one (which is a good thing as he is at
the age where he repeats everything).
My little mishap means that I am not up for the 6 hour drive to the Rusty
Iron Rally this weekend which I am sad to miss. The Challenge is all loaded
ready to go but it is not going anywhere :(
I now have to rest up ready to take the big Austral to our rally in two
weeks time.
