I'm in my early 20s, but I've cracked my head a few times while working on tractors (usually on the underbelly or drawbar area, and once on a cab door), but never knocked myself out. About cut off three fingers on my left hand by getting them pinned between a rear tire of a tractor and a steel fender that was bend (got lucky and was able to move the tractor with my weight and get the pinched fingers free). Other than that, I dropped an implement hitch on my right foot big toe (I even had my legs apart, but it rolled up and visited), and it was black for six weeks, and I still have a "bump" on it after about 4 years. Other than that, just some scrapes and bruises. Got slapped pretty good when cutting down a tree last year, too. The tree spun on the way down and the only branch I hadn't cut off of it came around and slapped me across the back. Luckily I had already stepped back and put the chainsaw on the ground, but it managed to make four giant rip marks across my back and throw my hat off my head just from force of impact, and I was wearing three heavy shirts.
Only other genius move I made was when we were roofing some five years ago or so, I had an exacto-knife/box cutter with a brand new blade slice my right hand thumb down to the bone alongside the nail. Probably should've gotten stitches, but just poured peroxide into the wound and bound it up tight and didn't look at it for about two weeks and it managed to seal itself back together.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
