Yeesh - hope you're on the mend.
Meanwhile, why hasn't anyone invented a drone that can clean gutters? I was seriously considering it a while back, since I live on the top floor of a three-storey building. Quadracopter which lowers a little bulldozer into the gutter, and picks it up when it's done.
Mend soon ken. And broken your back in two places? Just avoid those places in future ;)
Was it a quadcopter? Did it take you for a swim?
It would probably be better to make self-cleaning gutters, with flamethrowers or boiling acid.
Gutters don't break people's necks. Dumbass clown-footed people break people's necks.
That's nothing. I was tightening up a caliper retaining bolt when the socket slipped off the nut and I punched myself full in the face. Got a right big egg on my forehead.
Only an 8 foot drop? No wonder you Mericans wear all that padding when you're trying to play rugby.
Take this as a lesson, though. You're not supposed to do that kind of stuff yourself. You're supposed to get an immigrant to do it for you.
Get well soon, though. And make sure you use it as an excuse for getting out of just about anything. "Empty the dishwasher? Are you mad, woman? I've got a broken back!" "No, I couldn't possibly go to that meeting. I've broken my back." etc etc
See, this is why I don't use ladders. :C

Thanks all for the well wishes! I was about a foot from being killed I'd say. I had the snow plow out in the driveway and just missed it ween I fell. I can't imagine the damage that thing would have done to me!
Do you have the facility of self propelled levitation instead?
