you know you have gone full retard when:

[bruce381]

You drop your 4 cav SAECO mold on your foot (was cold) and you stop to check the mold for damage.

Before checking the blood running all over your socks.

Mold was OK foot has a hole in it.

No stiches tho.

[tazman]

Are you sure the mold was ok? No damage to it I hope!

[pworley1]

Feet will usually heal in time. Molds don't. I hope both are ok.

[TXGunNut]

My condolences. Post pictures of the mould so we can make sure it's OK.

[jimb16]

Unless you use your foot for shooting, I just don't see what the fuss is about. The mold is ok, so what's the big deal?:bigsmyl2:

[legend 550]

Good thing your foot broke the fall. This could have turned out badly. ;)

[gray wolf]

Now if it fell on your trigger finger you might have a problem,
but heck your foot broke the fall so all is good.
Keep casting--carry on troop.

[Blackwater]

Yep. That's about par for a dyed in the wool boolit caster. Personally, I've never claimed to be very smart - just enthusiastic and inquisitive - but that's enough to keep me goin'.

[dragon813gt]

Am I the only one wondering why you didn't have shoes on?

[TXGunNut]

Am I the only one wondering why you didn't have shoes on?

Maybe he wasn't casting. Sometimes I like to go in there and dabble around and I generally wear flip-flops unless the pot is on.

[fast ronnie]

At least we know you've got your priorities straight.

[prs]

If that mold had been at proper temp, the wound of your foot would have been cauterized and thus save the mess of your socks. Bad form there, Chap.

[fast ronnie]

Just saw Silverado's post on today's facebook photo. Are we having a contest or what?

[hickfu]

Your foot is a long way from your heart so you will be ok... I hope your mold is doing fine, please pass along our well wishes for your mold.

[flylot]

Dragon, I'm wondering why one would wear socks without shoes. Bruce, just where in the house did this event happen? Oh never mind, I may not want to know......

[dragon813gt]

It's cold here so I wear socks w/out shoes. But I recently broke toes on my right foot for somewhere around the fifteenth time. I wear shoes when doing anything besides sitting on the couch watching TV. Apparently I need to wear them when doing that because that's how I broke them recently. Technically it was the baby swing but I digress.

[Bzcraig]

Now that scares the begebbers outta me. Think I'll call my homeowners insurance and see if I need a special endorsement for my reloading stuff, especially the separation anxiety if I were to lose something.

[atr]

I think someone should step in and rescue this poor mistreated mold from such an abusive owner.

[Beagle333]

Whenever you drop a mold.... always try to get something soft under it before it hits the floor. A socked foot works great if that's all you have time for. Good thinking!! :drinks:

[jsizemore]

Now you see why Newton used an apple.

[waksupi]

Be sure to check the mold, especially inside. If you got blood in the cavities it may rust, and not cast a good bullet in the future.
Did the sock get damaged?

[wiliamr]

Reminds me of a night when I had left my Hitachi impact screwgun on the dining room table. Walked through the room barefoot knocked the screwgun off table and it fell, Phillips head driver right through the foot man that hurt. Lucky the bit stayed in the socket (locking) when I pulled it out.

[Hickok]

Naw, ain't nothing wrong with you. A guy will do the same thing when he lays his motorcycle down on the asphalt!:redneck:

That's not even being funny, it is the truth...
As I was visiting my friend in the hospital after his motorcycle crash,
He was talking about how the bike was fine because he had put sliders on it,
and about how he managed to get his helmet off before the EMTs got there and could cut the strap.
about how he had his buddy ride it home so that it wouldn't get torn up by being drug onto the rollback.
No concern at all about the pins, plates, and screws in his leg, geeze :veryconfu

[bruce381]

You guy crack me up.

I was in garge getting screw driver for wife and had left mold leaning up on my pot and I bumped it.

Funny as i fell all i thought of was it would hit the cement floor on the edge and mess it up.

yeah good thing my foot broke its fall.

Now on I will set mold down on wood bench flat.

[claude]

I was in garge getting screw driver for wife..............................

There's no sense making up stories about it, we know you were fondling and in your excitement it just slipped through your fingers[smilie=w:.

[Bigslug]

Note to self: do not play Hackey Sack with bullet molds. . .check!

[badbob454]

Just remember ,if an ingot falls let it. it can be re cast. Don't use your foot. Ha ha .

Same thing out in the woods hunting, if I fall, I will cradle and protect my rifle, even if it means I am going to bust up my arms and elbows, hands, etc.

"I took a good fall out hunting today, busted my elbow and got a pretty good cut on head, but my rifle and scope were alright, so I kept on hunting!"

Then my wife goes off, "What is wrong with you men, you are going to get yourself put in the hospital, but YOUR GUN IS ALRIGHT!"

I just tell her, "It's a guy thing, you just don't get it":bigsmyl2:

[Shiloh]

Two feet and one mold. It's a no brainer.

I agree.

By the way, what boolit does the mold drop? (Just so I, um I mean the prospective rescuer, know what caliber new gun to buy).

Just kidding, I remember catching a fully assembled M2-HB with my foot once.

Blood will rust metal very quickly.
My son's Grade VII shop teacher gave the class a quick talk on accidents with the table saw.
1) shut the saw off
2) make sure the blade has stopped,
3) unplug the saw
4) wipe the blood from the blade and wash the blade with hot soapy water. - blood rusts the teeth and ruins the edge.
5) look for fingers in the sawdust on the floor
6) place fingers in tray of ice water and call for an ambulance. - keeping the detached fingers cold may help them heal if reattached...

[Smoke4320]

Me thinks you need to make a donation to the "stop violence against Molds"

PM me and I will send you address to make the donation ..better yet just send me the mold.. remove all temptation !!!

[7br]

Simple economics. We have an idea of what you paid for a saeco 4 cavity mold and you got your feet for free. I think of it as a cost effective solution to an immediate problem.

[nanuk]

perhaps you could find a more Offensive title?

[Blackdog]

I might hafta wait until I got done hoppin' around and hootin' before I checked the mold. Ouch.

[strobro32]

Naw, ain't nothing wrong with you. A guy will do the same thing when he lays his motorcycle down on the asphalt!:redneck:

Been there. ;)

[Blacktail 8541]

I can feel your pain literally! I was moveing a new star luber this summer when I dropped it. Instead of letting it hit the pavement, I put my leg out to cushion the fall and it hit my shin. The 1 1/2 inch gash it took out of me bled for over an hour an left a nice scar.

[bruce381]

Sorry I use this term as "100% in, All the way, No compromise" perhaps you do not as such if it offends you perhaps you should skip this or any other post title that offends you.

[geargnasher]

Amen.

If you had worn a red sock you would have never known about the blood. At least not till you got a little light headed. But don't worry. One of the things I learned as an EMT is that all bleeding stops.......................................eventu ally.

[Jtarm]

Did you take the mold to the ER?

Be sure to give it a good cleaning (the mold.). Blood will corrode steel overnight.

I once dropped a razor sharp 1 1/2" bench chisel on my sandaled foot, laying my second toe open it's full length (had the edge landed 90-degrees to the foot, my user name would be "9-toe", or maybe 8.)

Drove myself to the ER. First thing I asked my wife when I got home was if my chisel was OK:-)
