A simple reflection on the laws of physics
When you’re chasing the dog around the house trying to retrieve from him the item he’s gotten down from the countertop and is chewing on, and you round the corner at speed, the hardshell aluminum rifle case containing the SKS, the K31, and the 12 gauge shotgun will remain stationary. Your toe must move to avoid IT, not the other way around.
That is all.
Update: I’m pretty sure the toe is broken, it’s black and blue from the toe to the anklebone. Didn’t stop me from taking the afternoon bike ride. Feels real good, like an icepick in your foot. I know this, becuase I’ve HAD an icepick in my foot.

Ouch.
Did ya do the motherfucker dance? Cause I know that sucker hurt.
I’m pretty sure it’s broken. I’ve broken most of my toes in the past, and it feels just like that.
The only practical solution is the one SWMBO allows me to use. I have the spare bedroom devoted to my toys. Rifles and shotguns line the walls on two sides, shelves in the closet hold my campstove collection with inexpensive floor to ceiling bookshelves containing most of my fishing and camping gear. What doesn’t fit there is in the garage with my mini machine shop, boat, and reloading bench.
I do so dearly love that woman.
THat’s the stuff in MY room/office.
Its all about the gear.
What the hell are toes for anyway. It’s not like we still need them to grip a tree limb or somethin. Just hang out there ready to get slammed into somethin. Where’s evolution these days. Shouldn’t they have become webbed togethar or somethin by now. People been slammin them into shit for thousands of years. What’s the deal?
Same circumstance, ended in the ER getting about thirty stitches from slipping against an industrial set of shelves that I was using as a bookcase. It all hurts, but we love ’em anyway.
