I have pretty scarred up hands and feet from these friends and my stupid decisions but one of him was always doing even stupider things like fishing for carp in Hidden Lake behind Rattlesnake Mt. in Reno, Nevada with a machete. He missed the fish and cut open his leg. He also put a 45 shell in a very old pistol he found in the dirt around Rattlesnake Mountain and blew off a good part of his right hand. He was whittling himself down to NOTHING by doing very stupid stuff.
I would usually hunt rattlesnakes with one of his younger brothers and would make a lot of noise while walking with my clumsy self. We never did get a rattlesnake when I was along with these brothers even though their various bedroom walls were full of rattlesnake skins.
I had the frame of this pistol without any firing pin in my bedroom for a long time as this oldest brother in this family-- the guy with the scarred up leg and hand-- gave it to my older brother who left it for me to have when he left Reno to work on a ranch in Basque country in central Nevada.
