Ever had one of those day's when you should have stayed in bed? Almost qualifies for a Darwin award!

Today was mine. After working on the garage door all day yesterday, I thought I'd do a few finishing touches this am.
All started out fine, till I went to change out the bottom rollers. Needless to say I forgot that the cable to the spring was attached to the bracket holding the roller.
Three bolts out and WHAM that damm thing was air borne. Something didn't quite feel right to boot. Dazed and wondering what the FARK just happened, there was an ooze dripping into my eye. Just as I got to the kitchen sink, she let loose. Blood all over the place. Good timing huh!
Well to make a long story short, With 20+ stitches just above my eye, a CT scan and what will be a huge ER bill.

My word to the wise is don't F___ with garage doors no matter how smart you think you are. At least I can still see. Thank God
