Happy Birthday! Ouch!

According to the label on the inside of my driver's side door, our Beetle is (about) 35 years old today. I say about, because I know it was sometime in April of 1970, but don't know the exact day. I chose April Fool's Day because it seems as good a day as any to celebrate what many might consider a foolish thing anyway.

Well, you know the other day I was removing that old rusty running board? I was so careful not to cut myself...kept my kids back and everything. I threw the running board in the trash and scooted the trash up against the big sliding shop door so the boys wouldn't run in to it.

Next day, I was working in the shop, sweeping it up and opened the sliding door. When I did, I hit my knuckle on the running board and sliced it open. Bummer.

Had to get a tetanus shot.



(Many thanks to my physician and his nurse for allowing me to take this picture in his office.)
