Narrative

EE had finished bolting for the night and was just about to leave for the man trip when he realized he had left his wire cutters on the bolter. He reached back and grabbed the cutters, then turned around running into the edge of the ATRS on the bolting machine. This caused a laceration above the left eye which had to be closed with sutures.
