the joy

Ouchy but healing well. I had a mishap a few yrs ago. Ricochet off a steel plate. About 50gr of a 124gr 9mm came back off a reactive plate. I just thought it was the jacket - we’ve all had a jacket come back a say hello. Well, I woke up in the am and it looked like I had a grape lodged in my wrist. Got to work, took a CT and, well….. 3D printed my radius and ulna with shrapnel in it, took it to a buddy that’s an orthopedist and he took it out.

Having a bullet removed - check that one off the bucket list. At least it was the left hand..

Still got a chunk of brass in my thumb from drilling out a starter pistol when we were kids. The bullets would go kinda where you pointed it but eventually the cases started to rupture... then we found a copy of Henley's fortune in formulas and things got serious. 🐸⚡
