Thanks for the concern but except for the ringing in my ears I'm ok and I've had that since I pulled in a firebase in Cambodia in 1970 and parked my jeep 25 or so yards down wind of a 155mm howitzer just as someone yelled "fire", it knocked me out of the seat and shattered the windshield, that got my left ear, then a few months later on an APC I had the misfortune to be on the track side that hit a mine. That got the other one. Point is the crickets never really stop singing, just are a little louder now. Stevie, I've blown up two this year. Both my own damn fault. The trigger guard was plastic so it really shattered, I just patched my finger up with duct tape. I've really had much worse happen before. Eds' right, the Humvee really hurt. Gotta be more careful though.
