One big headache

This is what happens when you are not aware of your surroundings while digging. Guess I should have used a hardhat.

Good thing you're so "hard-headed".

Yeah, as Rando asked. Please tell us the whole story. :P

After 20 plus years of digging you think I would know better. I was down in a hole and saw some loose overhang above. I decided to knock it down but did not do a thourough enough job. After I resumed digging all of a sudden I felt a huge blow to my head, I thought I was done I even saw a bright light, like most people talk about with near death experiences. God was watching out for me, guess it was not my time, turns out the bright light was my headlight shinning in my eyes. I would estimate the rock to have been 15-20 pounds. Ringman you are right lucky I have a hard head. Even after the rock fell I was able to dig another four hours before tapping out with weak sauce. I did not find much to write about but I had a blast with my two digging buddies. Mahalo for watching out for me. Oops Shawn you supposed to throw yourself in front of the rock. Thought you had my back Just kidding.
