Damn man. You've been having some bad luck with that new gun.. Tickets and now this injury. Glad the injury is not worse though. Although, with the bruising and tendon injuries, I guess your lovelife is going to suffer a little...

Glad it was not more serious Cash

I went to the ER and waited 3 hrs. to get x-rayed and find out that it's not broken, but I do have some severe bruising and tendon problems.

Re: Ouch!..I lost a battle w/my winch.
I'll still be racing in Sarasota.
The love-life will be fine as Amanda is flying in from Atl. to take "care" of me for the weekend.
I am THANKFULL it did not hit me in the head, it was turning so hard and fast I'm sure I wouldn't be here now.
F-Razor, I know what you mean, it's either a boat or b@$tch problem every weekend.
Thanks for all the replies.

Re: Ouch!..I lost a battle w/my winch.
Sorry to hear. A friend had that happen and it did break his hand. He had a cast on the rest of the summer. I always think of that when I'm winching up the Black Thunder. 
Maybe an electic winch is the answer.

Re: Ouch!..I lost a battle w/my winch.
Yup, ive had this happen, but with my sea-doo and luckily it didnt hit me.
When i boke my hand i was still able to work the throttles, docking wasnt as much fun though. im sure in a week youll be good enough to push the throttles down.
I'll be down in fl next week if you want soeone to drive for ya.
