2019 has been rough. Got in to a yellow jackets nest and got stung about 30 times. Ended up passing out the field for a couple hours and didn't feel right for a few days. Had a service panel explode in my face at work. 200 amp service grounded out and it was like looking in the sun. Eyes hurts for days and I had a pretty decent sunburn on my face. Cut my hand through the wrist in a wood carving accident and barely missed my artery. 9 internal stitches and 16 staples. Nurse that patched me up was shocked at how my artery was hanging out in two places. I could see my pulse. " You were 1mm from bleeding out. You wouldn't have lasted more than a minute". Still can't feel half my hand. Grounded my footpeg on an offcamber sweeper and went in to a low side and watched my new FZ07 bounce off in to the ditch. Lots of road rash, but amazingly not a scratch on the bike other than the crash cage. Woo hoo! Few weeks later once I had skin on my knee again I ended up hitting a deer on the XL. She jumped off a bank and landed on my bars. Went sliding face down on a very rough gravel road. Watched the gravel road pass by my busted off visor like rain running down a window. Totally crushed the EPS in that helmet, but walked away with a sore neck, bruised ribs, two bruised bones in my right knee ( ripped all my fresh skin back off lol) and a mouth/nostril full of gravels. Had a huge hematoma that I just knew was a busted knee cap, but once again I got lucky and walked away!

So....still alive? Welp, I am for now!
