Narrative

Removing elevator shaft bearings and bearing race...had originally used heat with success but switched to a 4 pound hammer on the last race which chipped after being struck by the hammer with predictable results...a chip flew from the race striking the top of the right hand (required three stiches) and continued on to strike the upper right shirt sleeve (no penetration)
