I somehow got close enough to the garage wall and I am a noob so I decided to brake. ... Nothing happened. The garage wall was corrugated metal so I thought it better to slide/grind on it. ... Boy was I wrong!
You see when you build a garage out of corrugated sheet metals, you use nuts and bolts. I rammed into the protruding bolts. I dodged one but ate two. One on my shoulder and one really close to my left eye. ... Someone was watching over me on that one. ... I m never doing that again!

You know, that sounds extremely painful.
