Reading about Wayne brought back a memory.
When i sold my 52 a couple of years ago i had to use a hi-lift jack to move the back end over to get around something while i was winching it with my jeep.

I am always cautious when winching but got in a hurry when using the hi-lift... anyway i had the entire weight of the back end off the ground (huge flat bed that looked like a train bridge).
Just before the pin settled into the next hole my hand slipped off the handle and it flipped up and caught me in the left cheek bone!
Holy Crap i have taken some hard hits but that one was Wicked!
i lucked out and was not seriously injured but it was only 1/2" from my eye.

This reminds me that it is easy to get moving too fast, need to take time to do it right and careful especially when working with big heavy truck, trees, etc.

Again, hope Wayne has a speedy recovery.
