One of Betty’s POs fancied themselves a wrencher. They already proved themselves handy with a grinder and her VIN so why not take a drill to her head?
Someone broke a header stud off in the head. Then attempted to drill it out. Then drilled through the head. Then gave up. Thankfully.
It took a couple of hours, a few hits of the thumb magnet and some bloodshed to clear the hole.
Not one broken drill bit! Woo!
In a fit of celebration I tossed the carcass of the extracted stud somewhere that I’m sure I’ll find if I’m ever down here barefoot (and gave it the middle finger after throwing it).

There are few things as satisfying as flinging a garbage part that you’ve been struggling with.

Funny you should mention Doctors.. My finger hurt like heck today. I went to our ER and had them peek at it. They found a 1/2" long sliver of aluminum hammered (literally!) deep in there just below the first joint.
