    The other day I thought, how could i have got a bug bite in January?...:confused:
    Ok...fine...a skeeter came in on the wood...whatever....:rolleyes:
    Now...there's three...all in a cluster...:startled:

    :eek:
    Same spot as usual, left forearm/elbow crease, right where I was carrying an armload of wood the other day.
    :doh:

    I always use welding gloves while im working the stove and usually only pick up 2-3 pieces at a time, but i stacked a bunch of smaller splits up my forearm and one rolled up to my elbow.

    You bust up a mirror lately Tim?

    Seems Jan 2019 not a great month so far with the slip/fall and PI to boot.

    Some will tell you it's not a good idea but if I catch it when there is just a couple small spots I rub it with bleach a few times a day and rinse with cool water.

    True enough, not a "wake up" call that anyone wants.

    I'm surprised I haven't heard that "call" yet.
    I'm sure it will come.
