cyclistjim Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Well I was surprised by winning the Blue Ribbon at the NC State Fair this year. As we all know we are overly critical of our own work. This is a Sue Mey Pattern available here: http://www.scrollsawartist.com/mermaid-with-crown.html This is cut on 1/8" baltic Birch Ply mounted on a Pine board. Finished with Natural Danish Oil on the ply and Golden Oak Danish Oil on the Pine. I have not been out to cut anything in over 4 months. I was riding my bicycle home from work on June 14th as I have done for the past 20 years and a woman driving her car and using her cell phone crashed into me from behind. I spent a day in the hospital with a broken collar bone and a broken shoulder blade. I am healed up now but still dealing with a frozen shoulder. Soon I will be back out cutting. frankorona, Debi Shipman, lawson56 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that you have taken the appropriate legal action against the driver that hit you from behind. DW I have a lawyer and I also have video from two GoPro's one facing forward and the most important one facing backward. Kind of hard for her to dispute what happened. She can't even deny the cell phone usage. It is all on video. She did not brake nor turn to avoid. Just plowed right into me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 What a great surprise for you winning first prize Jim, congratulations, well deserved. That is terrible what happened to you, people will never learn, STAY OFF YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING, do they think the law only applies to other people. Sorry I will get off my soap box. Hope you are all healed and feeling better soon. Take care. Marg cyclistjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Congrats on the prize. Well deserved. Years ago I worked for a medical manufacturer when cell phones just started.

woodduck Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Well done Jim sorry to hear about your mishap,In Australia if the police catch you on the phone while driving you are up for a very hefty fine .It's amazing how many people I see still talking on their phone though. cyclistjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
