#1s lucky. Had similar incident at local range in DFW......except she shot her left hand. Reached back for the hot brass with her right hand, still holding the pistol. Brought her left hand up to help and BAM! Hole clean through the distal hand (IIRC, she lost 3 fingers ultimately)
1) When my boys where in High School I found myself in the business of taking them and their teenage girlfriends to the range (rifle, pistol, and shotgun) and I told the boys to tell the girls to wear full t shirts, no tank tops, to avoid exactly that. Funny to watch in a gif but it tends to scare them out of the sport. Those girls are all college grads now and they still come to the range with us sometimes. Some of them were anti gun and are now pro gun.
Elmo, you know that chick just loves to take a fresh load on the chin. Let the boys have their fun. Pop a blue one and hop in the line! Hell man, go twice you know she won’t mind! Bert
Bert- I was referring to putting a lid on the bucket of cake batter the young lady dropped. But true to form, the only person that gets my humor is me. Sigh.
She considers it too risky to take her mask off outside in the wide-open spaces, but getting on a motorcycle she has no idea how to ride is perfectly fine? Seriously? Seriously?
Same thing happened to me. Had a nasty blister for several days and then a sore spot for more days. I believe the skin on the temple is probably as tender as what she had going. My daughter had a t-shirt with a tight neckline but still got a hot cast down it and then it was very hard for her to dig it out. She never failed to keep the muzzle downrange or her finger off of the trigger. Made me proud. jack
A 45 case bounced off the partition wall and went down the back of my shirt. I avoided collared shirts at the range after that. Those suckers have some thermal mass. A 22 case bounced back and landed right atop my trigger finger. A million-to-one shot.
Had a 80-90 foot Palm Tree in my yard in Phoenix...Tree trimmer(30 yrs exp) told me if it fell it would cut through my slump block house like a hot knife through butter. They can lay in the desert for 100 years and still be moist on the inside. Densest tree there is. Basically a bendable concrete tree....
#8 that creature needs some 'correcting'. Round me up a couple of serious 'plug tobbaco' chewing good ol'boys and maybe a betel nut chewing Hmong grandma ('Grand Torino') to give that sum bitch some perspective!
#5 maybe he didn't cut the first notch deep or high enough, or maybe the tree was leaning towards the house to begin with. If the center of gravity isn't over the stump, the tree is going down the way it leans no matter how you notch it.
I remember a long time ago my Dad (who had a little experience as a lumberjack) cut down a huge dying elm tree that was leaning over the house. He borrowed a long 2-inch cable and tied it from high in the tree to the tractor. Drove the tractor out to put some tension on the cable, cut the notch away from the house, moved the tractor a few more feet, and did the second cut. The tree fell just where he planned.
Unless you have as much experience as Dad, and access to the equipment needed, better hire professionals. They would cut off the top in pieces, lowering each piece on a rope so it doesn't crash through the roof, until the remaining trunk can be safely cut down.
#2 Back in 76 I sold my Honda Enduro 250, which I rode through high school to a friend after getting a bigger bike. Bike was 3 years old and in great shape, he had it a couple weeks when his girlfriend totaled it. She grabbed too much throttle hit a culvert in a ditch and went ass over head a couple times. Twisted the front end banged up the tank, tore off the shifter and foot pegs plus she was banged up pretty good. They broke up soon after, her mom was pissed we let her ride that bike by herself. JD
#1 Well endowed young woman wearing a sports bra and low cut blouse. She couldn't get the brass out so she shucked her top and bra off with a quick motion.
There is more than one way to call a "cease fire".

ReplyDeletenow #9 can go to the battered women's shelter
ReplyDeleteYour comment really takes the cake.
DeleteYou guys need to put a lid on it.
DeleteElmo, you know that chick just loves to take a fresh load on the chin. Let the boys have their fun. Pop a blue one and hop in the line! Hell man, go twice you know she won’t mind! Bert

Sigh.
No Elmo, I got it when you posted it.
DeleteAh, fantastic. Thank you, Friend!
DeleteI thought the 'battered women' and 'take the cake' ones were both really good.
They say 60 plus percent of women are battered yet, I've been eatin' mine plain my whole life....

DeleteGlad #2 had her mask on. Wouldn’t want to risk getting the ‘rona while you alone in a desert breaking every bone in your body on a dirt bike.
ReplyDelete[rocketride]
DeleteGiven the dusty environment, the mask was, for a change, actually doing something useful.

#6 Technical term for that rig is ''Tard Barge'.

Delete#1 When I was shooting Cowboy Action matches, the ladies soon learned to wear a higher necked dress, or to get a side eject rifle.
ReplyDeleteMissed the target, but hit the tit.
ReplyDelete#7 - I knew Elephant Seals were huge, but I just looked them up and they say they can get 20 feet long and weigh 9000 lbs.!!! Holy crap!
ReplyDeleteThere is a beach near Pismo Beach, Ca where they congregate in huge numbers. It is otherworldly to say the least.
DeleteYeah, and they're supposed to be short tempered and mean.
DeleteThat's a bad combination in something that big.
Thank goodniss elephant seals don't have hands with opposable thumbs.
DeleteWhat does that guy think he's doing? It certainly isn't persuading the seal that his car is not a rival bull seal.
DeleteLooks like a NZ rego plate...plus, the guy appears to be trying to open the RH driver's door
Deletekudos to the range officer for acting quick.
ReplyDeleteThink #9 has had something like that before
ReplyDelete#1 I had 9mm spent shell (go ahead) fly up and lodge between the safety glasses and my temple. Fun.
ReplyDeleteSame thing happened to me. Had a nasty blister for several days and then a sore spot for more days. I believe the skin on the temple is probably as tender as what she had going.

ReplyDeleteCould #6 (doofus launching his boat/car) and #10 (doofus skateboarding a bridge rail) be father and son?.... they have a lot in common.

ReplyDelete#1. A nearby range specifies: No shorts and western boots. (I can picture some fancy dancing.)
ReplyDelete#9 must be cafeteria kitchen porn.
ReplyDelete#6’s Guardian Angel was later seen facepalming.
ReplyDeleteI will say the guy on the range handled situation well and in a quick manner,good she had a friend/range safety officer ect. with her.

#5 that's a hard way to figure out you really need to know what you are doing when you cut down a tree near a house.
