Yep, hubris got me today.
"Hubris is exaggerated pride or self-confidence often resulting in retribution."
Yep, that's me, wearing a corset and shooting a '73. I thought I was fine, no hot brass was going to burn my skin, I always dressed modestly under the corset so everything was covered.
HA!
I was wearing an underdress with a drawstring neckline. And guess who did not have that drawstring pulled tight enough, guess who had that neckline, though still modest, just a little too low?
The gods of hot brass taught me a lesson and sent that round from Minny right down the front of my dress. It was on shot number 6, I believe. 7 was a clear miss. 8 and 9 were somehow hits, but I can't claim it was because of me. Poor Minny, I think I threw him on the table. Revolvers were next but @#$% the revolvers, there's hot brass burning flesh here!
"@#%!%! @%^@$@ THAT'S HOT!" as my hand dove into the front of my corset, digging out the brass, which was still hot, and flinging it as hard as I could down range. ( I throw like a gerl and it was my off hand. The brass didn't go very far.)
Then I drew the revolvers, while my poor, tender flesh was screaming "pain!!pain!!pain!!" into my head. I shot. I didn't get a P, didn't drop the revolvers, and generally shot in the direction of the targets. "pain!!pain!!pain!!" "Getthisoverwith,#$!$!thisHURTS!" Took four misses with the revolvers. Didn't care. Shoot the shotgun, knock the targets down, don't care there, either. "pain!!pain!!pain!!"
Grab the longarms, go to the unloading table, set them down and just hang my head and sag against the table and just.... breathe.
For those of you thinking "Oh, man, that had to leave a mark," yep, it did. I have a cartridge length burn welt in one place, and a circular welt above that, where I reckon the rim of the brass hit before it dropped down.
And how was your day, Dear?
The match was still fun. :D
AnnieLee, who is going to check her neckline before shooting from now on.
-
I hate to be insensitive to your pain, AnnieLee, but thanks for the good belly laugh! ;D
I needed that after this week.
-
Howdy......
Now you know why us guys keep our belts buckled up tight :o ;) ;D
Good shootin......
Vern... 8)
-
Aw, heck, Rio, it's not like I was permanently damaged! I'm glad you got a laugh. I was laughing about it too, but only after apologizing to the posse for the language that came rolling out of my mouth.
Vern... don't take your belt for granted! That derned hot brass will getcha if it can!
:D
AnnieLee

Good shootin......

-
Damn, Annie. Why'd ya throw the brass away. It'd cool down so ya could load it again.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Waste not, want not.....................................
-
I had hot brass from my '73 rifle go down the front of my shirt at my last match. HOT BRASS! Ms. Annielee, like you, it left a little memento on my hide. (Birdgun tips his hat.) Ms. Annielee, ya done good to complete the stage without a procedure or safety.
Recommend Arcey gets at least a visit from Leigh Ping for his lack of sensitivity.
-
Yep, hubris got me today.
Up until that point, I think you were on your way to another clean match.
"@#%!%! @%^@$@ THAT'S HOT!" as my hand dove into the front of my corset, digging out the brass, which was still hot, and flinging it as hard as I could down range.
One of the other shooters kidded about this and suggested that AnnieLee get penalized for spouting improper language but Leigh Ping came out of her holster and threatened to give him the ol' KA-BONG. He quieted down quickly at that point.
-
AnnieLee,
Maybe you oughta get a 92 and hat like mine. My hat collects most of my brass. ::)
-
Miz Annie, ya want.........Nah,,......forget it. A little aloe vera gel might help that spot. Says a lot about big brimmed hats and high necklines..........Buck 8) ::) :o :o ;) ;D
-
Now Arcey,
Where are your manners? You shouldn't be yellin at Miz Annie about throwin brass away. You should be offering to apply first aide to the afflicted area... :o Perhaps some ice or maybe some burn salve...Geesh...all Ya ever think about is brass, Ya should be thinkin of Yer fellow shooters well being ;)
-
Yep, hubris got me today.
Up until that point, I think you were on your way to another clean match.
Naw, I was soft-touching Minny all day and already had two misses. That's why the brass wasn't flying as high as it should, normally it lands on my hat.

Yep, it was while I was apologizing. What I said, as I was pulling Leigh Ping was: "How about penalties for 'interpersonal conflict'?" *
Arcey, I'll remember your ... empathy. 8) Thank you for the ... uh... thought, Major!
:D
AnnieLee
*Interpersonal conflict is penalized with a Match Disqualification for BOTH parties. He wasn't gonna call my 'bluff'. :D
-
*Interpersonal conflict is penalized with a Match Disqualification for BOTH parties. He wasn't gonna call my 'bluff'. :D
Yes but I was Match Director and I wasn't gonna DQ you. ;D

Well dag gone. Ya try ta be practicle 'n offer good advice. Even if ya did mess up yer punchation by fergettin' a ? mark 'n this is the thanks ya git........

When I was talking about my experience with hot brass, a lady provided this comment:
"I have a Marlin and a '73 and am left handed. I'd be DOOMED if not for wide brimmed hats, high collars and long sleeves!"
Now I wonder who said that?
-
Aww heck. Had my sleeves all rolled up last weekend. Shootin' a Marlin left handed, had one fall up (down) mah right sleeve. I shoot the One True Powder of the Holy Light (had to stand to type that) 'n it makes brass real hot. Kept on shootin'. Heck, it fell out when I went fer mah shotgun. Quit hurtin' by Wednesday.
Reckon that's the difference twix real men, metrosexuals 'n wimmen.
Arcey - whut's diggin' a deeper hole................
-
That would've been me, Birdgun, there's a reason this thread is titled "Hubris"! :P
Bah and feh, Arcey. I kept shooting, too, even though that brass wasn't about to fall out, it had to be removed. The one time I rolled up my sleeves when I was shooting the Marlin, I caught brass in the crook of my right elbow. That mark took three weeks to go away.
We can start comparing scars when you start shooting in a corset!
Come on up to King George. I'll treat you like the <cough> gentleman you are.
:P

That's why I'm bringin' mah son-in-law. Big ole strappin' 26 year old German boy whut chews lug nuts. Ennybody needs me, look behind 'im.

-
Are you tellin' me that not one of all those guys offered to kiss it better?
-
A couple wanted to see the marks, but none made that offer, no.
There is one thing that will ever trump the fear of the frying pan...
:D
AnnieLee
-
Miz Annie, did you notice my post earlier? Was gonna suggest it, but thought better of it...........Buck 8) ::) :o
-
AnnieLee, I am devistated by your injury. I also think it was cruel what these other pards were suggesting, louts all that they are. I trust your injury will heal quickly and you'll be back in top form.
The rest of you, shame, shame.
I have to go see a grief counselor now.
-
Thank you for the almost thought, Buck! ( you brat.)
Big John, it's okie. I'm used to it from these ne'er do wells.

Cuz,
That musta smart like the dickens. :(
Most of my brass from Henry hits the the top of my hat. Does Minnie have a short stroke kit installed?
Slim
-
Slim, AnnieLee said it did. That could change the ejection angle a little.

Another little trick that I learned about minor burns is to smear a little Vitamin E oil on it. You can get that at your local pharmacy. Trust me.......It works!
-
I got some.
I'll smear it on you, Annie.

How's this for 'hot'.
I was forging a bracelet as a gift for my wife. 3/16" thick mild steel with hammered in brass and nickel silver, the end result being a raku look. As I melted the brass onto the steel and removed it from the forge to hammer, I set it on the anvil and gave it a whack. Bad move, as the brass was still a little too molten, and one piece went flying down the front of my shoe, which was laced up not very tight. Of course I can't just drop everything, as I'm holding on to a red hot piece of steel. I did manage to kick off my shoe, but by that time it was too late. Two burn holes about 1/2" in diameter thru my sock. At first I thought "thats nothing".... a little blister at the base of my ankle, and a mild burn on the top of my foot about 1/4" around. Only to find out later that what appeared to be the 'milder' burn, on the top of my foot, was where the molten piece of brass came to rest, and evidently burned down thru the top of my foot in a pinhole-sized area. Ouch. It's still weeping, and that was almost 2 weeks ago. There must still be a piece of brass down in there somewhere, although I couldn't find it digging for it with a sterilized needle.
Oh well, you play with hot stuff, you get burnt. Fortunately nobody (particularly with a camcorder) was around when I did my little hotfoot dance.
-
That made me hurt just reading it.
-
What's happening here? :o
-
No clue.
-
Forty Rod,
More, please?
:D
Dang, sorry to hear about your foot, Jiminy. I'd go to the doc since it isn't healing.
AnnieLee
-
Jiminy, I think I'd get that looked at, could turn into something much worse than a little embarresssment.......Buck 8) ::)
-
JC, any kind of metal, no matter how small, left in your body can cause real harm. Go seek medical aid.
-
Thanks for the concern. Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on it. It has been healing, only very slowly. I've kept it bandaged with antibiotic ointment, but part of the problem has been it's location...right on the top of the foot, (a thin-skinned area anyways) which gets irritated whenever you put on socks & shoes, even loose ones. Today was the first day the bandage came off clean, no weeping...13 days after the fact, so maybe everything has worked its way out. Nice little burn though. I'll have to remenber that one whenever I fire up the forge.
Again, I appreciate the concern.
-
Unless you saw the metal come out, its still in there. That could cause internal infections that can be real serious. A doctor and an X-Ray can determine if anything is still left inside. I encourage you to have it checked to be on the safe side. A foot is not a fun thing to lose.
-
Not to mention the infection from the burn....Use to do some welding learned good leather boots kept the hot slag out
-
SON OF A..............!!!
I was cutting some 3/16 nylon line and sealing the ends with a flame to keep it from unravelling.
One piece caught fire and without a thought, I reached up to pinch it out.
MOLTEN NYLON STICKS LIKE SUPER GLUE AND IS HOTTER THAN HELL!!!
Literally hotter than Hell11!
Guesss I'll be cocking my cutters with my left thumb for a week or so.
-
Ayup, nylon doesn't burn, it melts. My son is taking welding this year and that was one of the first things the teacher told the kids: Don't wear any nylon in class.
Sorry to hear about your thumb, Forty Rod. Want me to kiss it and make it better?
:D
AnnieLee
-
Hey, no fair! You can offer to kiss Forty's boo-boo, but we can't offer to kiss yours..........Buck 8) ::) :o ;D
-
Tsk! I never said you couldn't offer, Buck! I said that no one had offered!
Besides, I'm almost all healed, now. So there. :P
AnnieLee
-
;D ;D ;D ;D :o 8)
-
Hey AnnieLee I just spilled hot water all over my chest. It sure does hurt.
-
You can kiss it, Annie, but I won't feel it.
I've had my hand in ice water so long it's starting to hurt worse than the burn.
-

< Gleefully smacks BJD with her hat >
You can kiss it, Annie, but I won't feel it.
I've had my hand in ice water so long it's starting to hurt worse than the burn.
Alas, Forty Fonzai, if this had happened a week ago, I'd have a warm place to offer.
But now if I offered a warm spot for it.... well, that might not be suitable for a family forum.
:D
AnnieLee
-
This is just too unjust. Forty Rod gets a kiss offer and all I get is smacked with a hat.
-
I'm cuter than you are.
And cuddlier, too.
Eat your heart out.
-
I think I'm real cute. Here's a recent photo of me.
-
There's no wounded chest in that pic, Big Baaaaad John.
Humph, I *knew* you were concocting a story! You're lucky to get away with a thwap of the hat and not the clang of my skillet!
:D
AnnieLee, who had several incidents of backward flying brass yesterday, but was covered.
-
Annie,
Having this done to me on a couple of occasions did anyone get your "hot brass dance" down on tape? I know it would be something the entire CAS City could enjoy. Moves like that do not come along evey day.
Old Top
-
Old Top, it was probably more of a panic attack then a dance.
-
:D
If'n ya'll keep insulten ma sheep. A'll show ya how ta dance.
Ok Sheep bring up da gatlin gun. :o
;D
-
Hey, don't shoot me I like sheep.
-
Is Tall Tales in the future of this thread? Or, will Lassie save Timmy from the well? :D
Slim

Cousin Slim,
Lassie was a Collie, not a sheep! I don't have another "incident" to report, yet, but perhaps someone will stub a toe while shooting and save this thread.
:D

Arcey,
Are you gonna bring your Buntline?
-
I kindah stopped takin' it if I doan know there's gonna be a staged pistol, Sodbuster. She gets beat up in transit.
Disappointed a couple folks last Black Creek shoot 'cuz I had the Buntline's leather on the cart with a 7 1/2" backup in it.
Thinkin' the boy y'all had an issue with Sunday would probably have a hissy-fit if he saw me snatchin' 'n reholsterin' the thing. It's ugly..........
Lemme git this family thing settled out. I'm sure we'll be havin' us some laffs 'fore long. Be the Buntline here at duh beach or up King George.

Did Noah decide to make his appearance, Arcey?
AnnieLee, who had three casings in her corset on Saturday and five on Friday
-
;) Miss Annielee ma'am, was them hot casings? ??? Ifin' they was did you do a little dance, and say a few blue words? :o :o
And, my lord! :o I hope you didn't go a sheadin' that corrsett!!! ::)
-

AnnieLee, who had three casings in her corset on Saturday and five on Friday
Hope yer home safe 'n had a grand time.
'Fraid not, Annie. She goes in tomorrow (tomorrow?) Monday at 7:00 AM and they'll induce labor. Alex is here 'n will be for the duration. It'll be awhile. I'm goin' to the office for a few hours for a l'il R&R. Thanks for askin'.
Now, 'bout them cases. Gonna have ta find a hat with a REAL wide brim.......................................
-
The dress under the corset was tied high and pinned closed, so none of the brass made me dance around and spout bad words. I didn't have a lot of focus for the match, which showed in my times, but I reckon I had some since I didn't consciously notice the brass coming back at me. I just need to spend more time with the rifle so I stop "soft touching" it. If I flick it right, I should be able to send the brass several feet in the air and not back at my face.
We had a great time. I shot with a bunch of rowdy pards from New England and it was a hoot shooting with them. Saturday morning was a joy and hell all in one. The sun was coming up on our right as we shot, just peeking over the berm. The air was very still. About half our posse was Black Powder Shooters.
Did I mention that the air was still and the sun was dappling rays over the berm?
Lou Graham took one shot at the shotgun targets, which were toward the right (toward the sun) ... and the targets vanished. NO ONE could see them. Twin, who was timing, got down on his hands and knees trying to find the target for her to spot her in to knock it down. It was grand to watch, but it was HELL for Lou.
AnnieLee
-
Such is the joy and the curse of shooting Holy Black. I'll bet Lou had a great time anyway. Did the smoke clear enough for you to shoot Annie?
-
;D
Sounds like a fun match ta me. :D
8)
-
She shot after me, Irish Tom, and while Wild Bill shot in front of me, another pard shot between us, so it was clear when I shot. But on that first stage, even my Titegroup was making a cloud that hung in the air.

Blue's mostly a Redbone coon hound mixed with junkyard buttbiter an' swamp gator, just a little snappin' turtle, and a hint of Gila Monster.
He's officially a Grumpy Old Farts With Guns member (#200?) and a veteran submariner, pirate, highjacker, astrodawg, and ladies' man extraodinaire. He's the nemisis of Polynesia, producer of a top secret rocket propellant, leg humper, blimp hatin', lawn protectin' hero of the Old West.
GET OFF THE LAWN!!!

Forty apparently he called here last nite, however no one was near the computor and we missed the call.

He called me on Friday and again on Saturday, but I wasn't home either time. Said he was bored out of his skull.

Buck, you best hunt a hole an' mail Ma your explanations an' apologies. Offer to buy her a German choklit cake an' a quart of peppermint schnapps an' she'll most likely forgive you.
If not, she'll drink the scnapps an' OD on sugar an' won't remember come mornin'.

She likes her schnapps best in a Ball jar, by the way. ;D

Yeah, but she really ain't fussy. She'll drink it out of an ol' boot, too, if that's all there is.

She does like that boot. She won't admit it, but I think it's the rush of alcohol when she tilts the boot up. Kinda like a bong. ;D ;D

The old bat is drinkin' out of a bong now?

Marshal, did sheep flatten my wife's tire? Had a bolt in it. Ended up changing it in freezing rain tonight. Some experience that was.......Buck 8) :-[ :-X :-\

Gentlemen I am shocked and appalled by you all.
The original subject of this thread was the dire injury caused by very hot brass, to our dear friend Annie Lee.
Did no one remember their basic first aid and administer copious ammounts of very cold water to tha affected area thereby drawing the heat away from the wound.
I have seen demonstrations of this method of treatment and have been impressed by its immediate effect upon the sensitive areas.
Admittedly most of these demonstrations have been in public houses and involved a number of willing participants and attire that can only be described as "basic" but I am sure that the principle remains the same as does the outcome.
Miss Annie Lee, I do applogise for these miscreants lack of knowledge. I for one would have administered the correct aid for such a wound. I am sure I could have procured a fire bucket to enable me to perform this duty to the satisfaction of all who would care to be enlightened by the judicious use of knowledge.
Dai.

Naw, don't think so---not Sheeps style: He don't pick on women--He ain't gay. He just don't like people who try to eat Him. Ifin He'd dunit there would be a crator where the wagon used ta be. :o
Ah don't think He's got anything gainst you. Ah admit He gota temmper, but not without reason. :(
Had lots of flat tyres with the Jeep, You name it, it's probably been broke.
Sorry bout Yer prediciment.

Shame on you!! Wickedness under the guise of thoughtfulness and compassion!
I'd be hitting you with my hat if I wasn't laughing so hard!! Are you related to Forty Rod and Trinity?

Annie Lee,
A new world first. I think this is the first time I have ever been associated with the words thoughtfulness and compassion let alone in the same sentence. I have, in the past, been liked on numerous occasions to a "bull in a china shop".
I can only assume that my usual shyness and awkwardness with the written word ,in respect to addressing members of the opposite gender, were overcome by the genuine anquish and pain that the afore mentioned incident caused you. It was further reinforced by the rather severe lack of basic knowledge of the principles of first aid shown by those persons paricipating on that particular detail with you.
It may also have something to do with my little pecadillo , I find women facinating. It may be a streak of wickedness in me as you so surely allude to, but after 49 years of attempting to walk this fine planet of ours, give or take the occasional moment when grape or grain denied me the ability to walk upright, I find I still do enjoy a wet T shirt competition.
If I have brought joy, laughter and mirth to your life I feel doubly honoured as this is my lifes goal. To make people smile.
Laugh with me, laugh at me, laugh because of me, I do not mind any way as long as you are laughing..
Merry Christmas, and my present to you is the gift of laughter, so let rip and have a wonderful life.
Chris aka. Dai.S.Loe
I hope I dont sound like a pompous ars3h0l3.

Dai,
Glad to see ya join the Bozos on the Bus. ;D

Dai is an eloquent sweet talker who makes me laugh, Cousin Slim, can we keep him, can we can we please??
:D
AnnieLee
-
Glad you're aboard, Cousin Dai.
Now you can help watch out for Trinity and take some of the heat off of both of us.
(Pssst! Some of these people are nuts. They don't know how to laugh. Take that Del person for example. He never sees the humor in anything.)
-

Slim
According to my mother in law I can never be house trained as I am just a "colonial". She tolerates me because of the fact that I am married to her daughter.
Annie Lee, as to being related to Forty Rod or Trinity I could not say to the affirmative but my dear old granddaddy was a merchant navy man and wandered the world for many a year. Do they origonate from coastal areas?
I think I inherited my love of women from him as here in NZ I have 14 "known" uncles and aunties.
An elequant speaker, on occasions. Raised in the military, joined the military (twice), the phrase "swear like a trooper" could have been coined for me.
A love of literature, especially the classics, has given me a vocabulary that sometimes I find the opportunity to employ.
Being able to talk the "hind legs off a donkey" is I think an inherited attribute.
My family is , on both sides, from the Emerald Isle. I think that some time in the past one of my ancestors didnt just kiss the Blarney Stone. I definitely think that when the time came that person opened wide, bit a chunk off and swallowed it whole.
I thank you all for the kind words.
Dai.

Dai, I just read that 2wice, ther's some pretty fancy werds in there. I am still not sure ifn' yous house broke, but WELCOME
-
Dai, we're third cousins twice removed (and many times just plain thrown out) on both sides.
Grandpa was a travellin' man an' grandma was a sportin' woman, so me an' Trinity are related to dang near everybody...one way or another. Couldn't find any Eskimos or Texans, an' only one Chinese guy, but sure a bunch of others.
Not all are as nice as me an' Trinity, though.
Cousins Idi, Che, an' Benito gave us all a bad name, so we disowned 'em.
We'd love to have you come for a visit. Bring food an' money.
-
But some of us ain' as elow-quent. However, where we lack the vo-cabulary, we excel in bodily sounds. ;D

So now you have found the missing Kiwi member of the family.
Before entering into discussion with you all I read this thread from start to finish and I must say that it was a delight.
There reverance and fear you honour our dear lady friend Annie Lee with is an inspiration.
I take it she is a wizz with the skillet and judging by the hushed tones you speak of it, she has proven her dexterity on numerous occasions.
You must bear with me for the time being. I have only really started posting recently though I have lurked in the shadows for a while.
I need to get in syncronization with the thread. I have this wonderful habit of jumping in with both feet and ending up offending someone.
We here in NZ have a very different sense of homour than you my new found cousins. Sarcasm is am art form here, we love nothing better than taking the p@ss out of someone that in all reality were care about. I jumped in at the deep end on TFS before the crash and finished up distressing another person. Unintentional and therefore distressing to myself also. I hope I rectified the mater to that persons satisfaction when i publically appologised.
Now to give you some ammo with which to found your future p@ss taking of me. I'm 49, going very bald, have a funny Welsh accent, shoot like there is no tomorrow, love the Dark Side, weigh about 180lbs and reach 5'10" tall (bet you didnt know that it could be stacked that high, the bull**it that is).
Goodness this is too serious. The sun is definitely over the yard arm so I deserve a shot or two of the Grouse.
I'll be watching and jumping in occasionally.
Dai.

"Whose coat is that jacket, hanging up on the floor now then?"
"I'll be with you now, in a minuite Dai Bach"
"BAAAAAAA" just for those from Merthyr.
And for those from the Rhonda
"Are you my mother, my sister or my auntie?"
Probably get arrested when I go back now. Sent down the pits, whoops none left.

I cant sing myself but yes I do know the song.
Gets sung by every male voice choir, gets sung at most Welsh home rugby games and if you have ever seen the film "ZULU" that is the song the men break into in during the movie.
Very stirring.

A\bergavenny is not too far from Cardiff, just on the border betwixt Wales and that other place, I think they call it England or something jut as absurd.
Nice place not too far from Hereford, the home of the most elite unit of the Brit Army.

Yep, hubris got me today.
"Hubris is exaggerated pride or self-confidence often resulting in retribution."
Miss Annie Lee was shooting with me today, and she let me know that she was there by allowing hot brass to fall down the front of my dress, at the same place she had hers disrupt her stage. All I could say was "ow, ow, ow, ow" Sodbuster was timing me and he knew what happened, that brass hit the brim of my hat, (which was wide) and dropped right in. I finished the stage, and like Annie, I had some misses, 6 to be exact, but I wasn't lucky enough to be able to reach in and grab it out, it fell all the way down and got lodged between my skin and my shotgun belt. So I have 2 marks of a 45 on my tender skin.
After that I commendeered Litl Roosters scarf and tied it around my neck and draped one end of it over the opening in my dress, that hot brass wasn't going to get me twice. Next time I'll know better and Litl Rooster won't even get to start a match with that scarf because I'll have it.
Hope you all had a better day than me.

Don't forget to let Litl Rooster kiss it and make it better....or rub some butter on it. :-* :-* :-* :-*

That's one disadvantage the ladies have, Montana. The Cowboys love those necklines, but they're a brass collector for sure. I had something similar at a practice session, but it was a bounce back, not hot brass. Almost perfect .38 caliber red mark......Buck 8) ::) :o
