| Just sending out a heal up soon post to Little Nephew, AKA Nail Gun Guy.
Seems he had a bit of an accident on Monday, and shot a 3" framing nail into his femur, above his knee. Sucked his Carharts right in with the head of the nail. As soon as I heard, I raced down to Fondy to the hospital. I was too late to get any good pictures, as he was just about ready to leave after the removel of the nail. Seems he had them get a crow bar and a 2by4, as the Doc didn't know how he was going to get that nail out. Worked like a charm, but I bet that sucker is hurting today! I see he's lurking on the board, so I thought this might cheer him up a bit.
Can't wait to be able to post the X-Ray! Take care, Mark. No twisting on the leg till the holes heal up! |

I am fine. Hurt Like hell the next day. But not as bad as the chewing I got from the wife for trying to go to work the next morning. I am up and moving around trying to get ready for the open water, that is when I am not working this year.

| Good thing you didn't shoot yourself in the head. No telling how far or what county that nail would've landed in. How do you like me now Mark.
